TO TEACH AGRICULTURE.
Trustees of Williamsburg Schools Take
Advantage of New Law.

Trustees of Williamsburg Schools Take
Advantage of New Law.
An important meeting was held
here Saturday afternoon in the office
of Mr. ] V McElveen, county super
intendent of education. Its object
was for the consideration of the
establishment Of agricultural train
ing departments in the county schools
under the provisians of an act pass
ed at the last session of the General
Assembly and approved by the Gov
ernor on February 27. This act pro-
vides that whenever the board of
trustees of three or more school dis
tricts shall raise by taxes, private
subscription Or otherwise and shall
deposit $3.50 with the county treas
urer an equal amount will be pro-
vided by the State to pay the salary
of a man as teacher or instructor in
agriculture. The State may, however,
allow as much as $3.50 in this con-
nection, as is provided by the act.
At the meeting here Saturday en-
thusiastic trustees were present and
signed contracts to take up the work
in the Hemingway Graded School,
Union High School, Indiantown Grad
ed School and the Cedar Swamp
Graded School, each of these being
represented. Prof Verd Peterson,
State superintendent of agricultural
institutions, was present and address
ed the trustees and representatives
of the above named schools.
County Superintendent McElveen
is very enthusiastic over the success
of the meeting and feels confident
that other schools in the county will
join in the move, as the need of a
more practical educational system in
the rural communities becomes, he
says, more apparent every day, and
he thinks the teaching of agriculture
in these community schools will come
nearer filling the needs of the people
than any other proposition previous
ly set forth, especially so as Will
liamsburg is essentially an agricul-
tural county.
Since Saturdays meeting Mr. Nc
Elveen informs US that the trustees
of the Johnsonville Graded School
have signed the contract and will
take up the agricultural training
along with the schools above men,
toned.
Similar work in several of the ru-
raj schools has already been conduct
ed successfully on their own initia-
tive, but of course this had to be
done in very limited way. on &C.
count of no funds being available
from State or county appropriations.
We hope to see the day when agri.
cultural and manual training will be
part of the course of instruction
in every school in this county for the
boys and domestic training for the
girls-a more important accomplish
ment in the future housewife than
musical training. but let's have
both wherever and wherever it is
nossible.
