SUMMER SCHOOL OF AGRICUL- 

 TURE. 



A bulletin has been issued by the 

 Extension Service of the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College descriptive 

 of the sixth annual Summer School of 

 Agriculture and Country Life, July 1- 

 29. Extended courses will be offered 

 for the benefit of the many people 

 who wish a general knowledge of theo- 

 retical and practical agriculture acd 

 who can come to the college conven- 

 iently during the summer season. 

 Special attention will also be given to 

 the needs of teachers. 



The courses to be offered this sum- 

 mer will include practical agriculture 

 and horticulture, elementary sciences, 

 agricultural education, agricultural 

 economics, domestic economy and 

 household science, organized play and 

 recreation, and a group of courses ar- 

 ranged especially for rural social 

 workers. 



Another forward step taken by the 

 Extension Service is shown in the an- 

 nouncement of a summer camp for 

 boys, the purposes of which are to 

 interest boys in agriculture and rural 

 life, to impress on the boy his respon- 

 sibility as a member of society and to 

 teach him clean, wholesome sports and 

 recreation. The camp will be under 

 militai-y discipline. During the morn- 

 ing instruction will be given in agri- 

 culture, hygiene and citizenship. Af- 

 ternoons will be given over to organ- 

 ized play, recreation, games, tramps 

 through the hills and evening camp 

 fires, all managed by experts. 



Amherst is acknowledged to be one 

 of the most delightful towns in New 

 England, noted both for its natural 

 scenic beauties and berause it is an 

 educational center. Expenses are very 

 low.
