MISSISSIPPI SETS THE PACE

Dr. Lusk. a member of the faculty of Cornell university. has been ordered by the department of agriculture, bureau of animal industry to come down to Mississippi and make a careful study of the methods employed in the agricul- tural high schools, paying especial att
 tention to those that have recently added vocational training or educa tion. It is stated that Mississippi has att tracted the attention of the government because of her great interest in such educa tional institutions, there being twice as many agricultural high schools in this state as in any other in the union, and most of them a marked success during the six or eight years of their existence. In 49 of the S2 coun- ties there are agricultural high schools, and in the majority of them vocational education is given. They are partly supported by the state and have proven great successes everywhere, so that naturally Mississippi is proud of them.
