AGRICULTURE TEACHERS SCARCE
Club Plans to Extend Vocational
Teaching In Missouri.

l
Teaching in Missouri.
Prof. Theo Sexauer head Of voca-
tional training in the University,
talked on how vocational agriculture
is being taught in Missouri at a meet
ing of the Vocational Agriculture
Teachers Club Tuesday night. He said.
There are now forty-five high schools
in Missouri teaching vocational agri-
culture and no two of them present
the work in the same manner. This
is because the work is in its infancy
and also that qualifications of the
teachers vary greatly, no two of them
having had the same previous train
ing"
Pr lessor Sexauer said that the
greatest difficulty now confronting
the work was scarcity of teachers.
Prof. Ray E. Miller spoke on the
vocational convention that was held
at Chicago a short time ago.
Prof. NJ. F. Miller, chairman of the
soils department of the College of Ag-
riculture, gave a talk on vocational
agriculture as it will affect the farmer.
Professor Miller said, mot more than
one college man out of a hundred
goes back on the farm after he leaves
school. For this reason there is a
great scarcity Of educated men in the
rural communities today. Eventually
there will be at least two hundred
schools in the state which will take
the place of the University's short
course in agriculture.
The farmer in the United States is
facing a critical thing now and the
only thing that will keep him from
becoming peasant is education. The
work given under the Smith Hughes
bill will give him this
