150 AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS 



142. Agricultural Clubs in Rural Schools. HOMER C. PRICE. Ohio State 

 University Bulletin, Ser. 7, No. 10 (1904), 14. 



The bulletin contains suggestions for organizing clubs in the rural 

 schools of Ohio. These suggestions are the outgrowth of the previous 

 year's experience of the first club formed in Ohio under the auspices of the 

 students of the Agricultural Union. This bulletin is of special interest 

 because it represents the beginning of organized effort to develop agricul- 

 tural clubs in Ohio. 



143. Farmers' Institutes for Young People. JOHN HAMILTON. U.S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Office of Experiment Stations, Circular No. 99 

 (1910), 40. 



This circular calls attention to "lack of adequate means for giving 

 vocational training in agriculture to young people in rural districts after 

 they leave the public school and before they enter upon their life occupa- 

 tions." Boys' and girls' clubs, farmers' institutes for young people, sub- 

 jects for institute study, systematic course for contest work, boys' encamp- 

 ments, form of organization, season for meeting, states and territories in 

 which young people's institutes are organized, model constitution for young 

 people's institutes, order of topics for boys' institute, score cards for 

 various products are some of the subjects discussed.

 Superintendent of Schools, Clarinda, la. (1909), 14.

 including summary of results of 1908 and plans for 1909.

 Schools, Rockford, 111. (1903), 64.

 gestions for their improvement. One chapter (pp. 39-49) is devoted to boys'

 ized in the United States. 



146. Among Country Schools. O. J. KERN. New York: Ginn & Co. (1906), 

 366.

Only titles cited by number hi text are included in the following list: 



147. "What Constitutes Successful Work hi Agriculture in Rural Schools?" 

 B. M. DAVIS. Proceedings of the National Education Association for 



ipo8, 1189-94. 



This discussion is based on a study of replies to a questionnaire addressed 

 to teachers and others interested in agricultural education. 



148. "The District Schools hi a County as Educational and Social Centers." 

 JESSIE FIELD. National Society for the Study of Education, Tenth Year- 

 book, Part II (1911), 17-19. 



In the county system described agricultural studies are an important 

 means for bringing the school and community into a closer relation. The 

 subjects are not uniform in the various schools of the county but are chosen 

 primarily because of some dominant community interest.
