Many more subjects could be given. The sub- 

 jects must be suited to the knowledge and inter- 

 est of the pupils as well as to the needs of the homes 

 and the farms in the community. 



Wherever possible, such composition should be il- 

 lustrated by original drawing and diagrams. Clip- 

 pings from agricultural papers and bulletins may be' 

 used to good advantage, also. Thorough, original 

 investigation should be the basis for all such work. 

 It will not only make students who can write well, 

 but it will make students who can think and judge 

 for themselves.
