that work said

ary schools The state Of Oklahoma
win receive from this fund for the
current year $4,000 The larger part
of the fund will be used to promote
agricultural education, since this is
pre-emihently an agricultural state

does not contemplate the reorganiza-
ton Of the course of study as it now
appears in the high school, but the
introducing into the course another
subject, which should be purely voca-

age American community seven out
of eight people of high shool age are
not in school These are the people
about whom vocational education
program is concerned.
THE teacher of agriculture must be
employed for twelve months in the
year. During the regular school year
he is expected to give instruction
from the text in the laboratory and

the time he has finished four years

will be a thoroughly we'll established
farmer, conversant with the best
methods known to his community
"The teacher must be a graduate
OF the A. and NJ college, with no
less than forty hours in agriculture.
Any school district which employees

communities where conditions are
most favorable for vocational educa-
