136 Agricultural Instruction in the Public High ScJwols 



Shop equipment, $2,990, ranging from $60 to $900. 



Laundry equipment, $4,090, ranging from $15 to $2,000 (none 

 in three schools). 



Domestic science, $1,715, ranging from $50 to $600. 



One can not help being somewhat surprised at first thought, 

 at the relatively small amount of money spent upon the labora- 

 tories, including even the agricultural laboratory facilities. Five 

 report none, while the remaining six report a total of only $275. 

 Six report no chemical equipment, the remaining five report a 

 total of $505. Only three schools report physics, with a total 

 equipment of $385. The last two items are not surprising, how- 

 ever, standing alone, for the schools have not been running long 

 enough to put into operation that part of their course of study 

 in which these branches occur. Then, too, it is often hard to 

 draw the line between apparatus belonging to agriculture and 

 to other sciences. 



Eight schools report 1,920 volumes, ranging from 10 to 600 

 to the library. The total value is placed at $975, for six libraries 

 varying from $25 to $400 each.
