There were probably 50 other schools, mostly in Ohio, Mis- 

 souri, and Nebraska, teaching agriculture 36 weeks or less at 

 the time the above reports were received. 



In addition to the above, the Hamilton County High School 

 at Tyner, Tenn., and the State Preparatory School at Tonkawa, 

 Okla., have a two-year course in operation. The Guthrie County 

 High School at Panora, Iowa, the joint township high school 

 at Waterford, Pa., and the high school at Nephi, Utah, have 

 three-year courses, while two or three New Hampshire acad- 

 emies have instituted three-year courses to follow an introductory 

 course in biology. Four-year courses are in operation at the 

 Magnolia Township High School near McNabb, 111., the Cecil 

 County High School at Calvert, Md., the Township High School 

 at Petersham, Mass., the ]\Iodel High School at North Adams, 

 Mich., the Beaverhead County High School at Dillon, Mont., 

 and the eleven congressional district high schools of Alabama. 

 In most cases strictly agricultural studies do not extend through 

 every one of the years mentioned, as usually in one or more 

 of the years it is but a half-year study.
