 Apr., Office Exi)t. Stas. Virc. 98, pp. 12). — This circular discusses briefly the 

 growth of sentiment in favor of a more definite organization of agricultural 

 extension work to its culmination in the establishment of the Section on Exten- 

 sion Work of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experi- 

 ment Stations. Typical forms of extension organization in Iowa, Indiana, and 

 Ohio are described and a list is given of the 26 States in which definite exten- 

 sion departments have already been organized. The most pressing need in agri- 

 cultural extension education is said to be " the systematizing of its methods " 

 and the development of definite courses of instruction in movable schools, public 

 rural schools, and normal schools.
