34 MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



Cultural and Agricultural. 



The division of time in carrying out the school and home farm 

 co-operative method of training, whether in agricultural depart- 

 ments in high schools or in the separate agricultural school, is as 

 follows: For the execution of the projects, including work during 

 vacations and other out-of-school hours, 50%; and for the related 

 study 30%. The remaining 20% of the time of the boy is devoted 

 to general culture and good citizenship instruction, wherein sys- 

 tematic courses may be provided in such subjects as English, 

 history, civics, current events, mathematics and science. 



Farming and Good Citizenship. 



Good results have already been achieved. It is believed that 

 the Massachusetts plan of vocational agricultural training will 

 justify itself from every reasonable point of view, and will prove 

 to possess undeniable merit as a method of training both for farm- 

 ing as a definite calling and for intelligent and vigorous participa- 

 tion in the community life of the Commonwealth.
