At the California Polytechnic School, located at San 

 Luis Obispo, considerable attention is given to dairying. 

 The school owns 310 acres of land, and six large and sev- 

 eral smaller buildings, including a creamery building 40 by 

 60 feet, have been erected. The course covers three years' 

 work. 



Among other high schools 2 where dairying is taught 

 mention may be made of the National Farm School at 

 Doylestown, Pa., which also owns a dairy building. In 

 the Mount Hermon School, Northfield, Mass., a special 

 department of instruction in dairying has been organized. 



The agricultural high schools and agricultural colleges 

 are becoming more and more articulated into a system be- 

 cause arrangements are being made in many places to admit 

 students into the college upon the successful completion of 

 an agricultural high school course. Another feature that 

 tends to bring unity into agricultural high schools is the 

 fact that the agricultural colleges have taken up the work of 

 training teachers of agriculture.
