 vocational agriculture, an arrangement has been made whereby special super- 

 visors from the departments of agronomy and animal husbandry of the Colorado 

 College will be loaned to inspect all schools and classes in agriculture twice 

 during the year and a specialist in home economics from the extension service 

 of the college to supervise vocational schools and classes of home economics 

 approved for Federal aid. 



It is provided that all classes in teacher training in agriculture and home 

 economics will be conducted in the agricultiwal college. Four-year type courses 

 in vocational agriculture and home economics and 4-year teacher-training 

 courses in agriculture and home economics are outlined.
