CONVENTION" OF COLLEGES AND EXPERIMENT STATIONS. 15 



this department of the college can render its best service by utilizing the exist- 

 ing organizations, both official and uouofflcial, within the State. This can be 

 done by properly coordinating and federating such organizations. A chart 

 was exhibited showing graphically the correlation of extension work with 

 other agencies. 



Planning Extension Work by Means of Definite Written Projects was the 

 title of a paper by Prof. C. D. Jarvis of Connecticut. This paper made three 

 principal recommendations: (1) A central committee at the college to settle 

 upon all proposed projects and submit them through the proper authorities 

 to the federal authorities, (2) a methodical grouping and subgrouping of 

 projects, and (3) the application of a seasonal sequence in project planning, 

 even to the making of a monthly, daily, and hourly schedule for extension 

 representatives. 



Prof. K. L. Hatch, of Wisconsin, submitted a report from the committee on 

 the training of extension teachers, advocating the provision of technical train- 

 ing along the special line of the prospective extension work, and instruction 

 in the art of teaching. He suggested that the time necessary for this training 

 might be secured by eliminating requirements of foreign languages and mathe- 

 matics. Teachers of approved ability in secondary agricultural schools were 

 suggested as a promising source of supply for extension work. 



The section committee on extension work was abolished, the belief being 

 expressed that its function was being substantially performed by the association 

 committee on extension organization and policy.
