THE LYNGBY AGRICULTURAL COL- 

 LEGE AND OPEN-AIR MUSEUM 



At Lyngby, about seven miles from Copenhagen, 

 I visited the Landboskolen, or Agricultural College, 

 which was kindly shown to me by the Director, Mr. 

 Hansen. This school was founded in 1867, and 

 receives a State subsidy of 3000 kroner (^166) per 

 annum. There are two sessions one of six months, 

 from the 1st November to the 1st May, and one of 

 nine months, from 1st November to the 1st August. 

 From 60 to 70 pupils attend the six months' 

 course, and from 40 to 50 the nine months' course. 

 These pupils, none of whom are women, pay about 

 40 kroner {2, 4s. 4d.) a month for their food, 

 lodging, and instruction ; but, as in other institutions 

 of the sort, the State gives help to deserving students 

 who cannot afford this sum, by contributing from 100 

 to 150 kroner (^5, 10s. iod. to 8, 6s. 3d.) per annum 

 towards their expenses. 



The course consists of instruction in agricultural 

 theory, Danish, and arithmetic, and there are no 

 examinations. 



Here at Lyngby is an agricultural experiment 

 station of about 30 acres of land divided into plots, 

 which it is believed will be increased to about 130 

 acres in the spring of 191 1. This station is a Govern- 

 ment affair, and has nothing to do with the little home- 

 farm of 15 acres belonging to the school, whence it 

 obtains milk and other produce. The plots are used
