Iowa College and Station. — A four-year coui'se in agricultural education has 

 been added to the division of agriculture for the purpose of training teachers 

 for agriculture and domestic science work in the secondary schools. The 

 recent legislature authorized the establishment of departments in agriculture 

 and home economics in 40 high schools and allotted if.oOO as special State aid 

 to each of these schools. It is stated that much difficulty is at present being 

 experienced in obtaining competent instructors along these lines and that the 

 establishment of the course is in recognition of the demand upon agricultural 

 colleges for teachers especially trained for the secondary schools. At the pres- 

 ent time comparatively few of the agricultural graduates of the college enter 

 teaching work, not over 10 per cent of the last class of 78 contemplating it. 



A. V. Storm has been appointed head of the new department. 



Recent appointments include Miss Winnifred S. Gettemy, of the Illinois 

 Woman's College, as professor of applied design in the home economics course;
