Riverview High
School May Get
Ag'culture Dept
Laurel Grange Voted to Raise
Funds. First School in Co.
To Take This Step.
OTHERS \ MAY FOLLOW

Members of the Laurel Grange,
at a regular meeting held Mon
day night, voted unanimously to
sponsor a movement to raise
enough funds to employ an agri-
culture teacher for the River
view high school next year:
Wade Eller, master of the
Grange unit and principal of the
school, explained the need for
such a teacher and stated that
the last legislature appropriated
enough money for vocational in
struction to pay fer the states
part of providing agricultural
teachers for a large number of
schools that do not already have
such teachers.
The standard salary for an
agricultural teacher is 1890 a
year, plus some travelling expen-
ses. Of this amount the federal
government pays one-half, the
state one-fourth and the county
or local school district one-fourth.
In other words, Mr.. Eller esti-
mated that Riverview could get
such a teacher by raising around
$500. He said that class room
and work shop could be provided
in the school and funds raised to
equip it if the $500 is raised.
Every one present pledged to
give a contribution and COM
mittee was appointed to solicit.
It is understood that several OF
the other high schools in the
county are giving serious consid-
Grafton to the establishment of
agricultural departments. Delega-
tons will no doubt visit the coun-
ty commissioners and solicit their
cooperation. It is pointed out that
the money can also be raised by
a special school dictrict tax.
I'VE have got to start getting
our boys mors interested in farm
ing and teaching them how to
farm scientifically" Mr.. Eller de-
clared. "In many respects this
is more important than teaching
them foreign languages"
