subjects which make it possible to enter the university. A pupil can 

 finish the three year course and then if he wishes to go on he can come 

 back to the school for one year and get the necessary work. If this in- 

 centive is not added pupils tend to drop out before they have finished the 

 work in the other courses. Every school should give such preparation 

 that when the course is completed the graduate is able to go on to some 

 other school if he desires. This can be done in the Milwaukee County 

 school without in any way lessening the effectiveness of the shorter 

 courses. 



Other courses 



In addition to the three and four year courses there is a projected 

 short course covering the period from November 20th to April 1st for 

 two years, which will be complete in itself or will give credit of one 

 year toward any regular course. This course is just being worked out 

 and it is planned to announce it for the first time in the next catalog. 

 It includes 



FIRST YEAR 



7s/ term 2nd term 



Cereal Crops Forage Crops 



Elementary Dairying Dairy Manufacture 



Carpentry Carpentry 



Elementary Poultry Poultry Practise 



Fruit Growing Vegetable Gardening 



SECOND YEAR 



Dairy Cattle Stock Feeding 



Soil Fertility Soil Management 



Farm Management Drainage 



Farm Accounting Farm Accounting 



Blacksmithing Blacksmithing 



Insects Civics 



Such a course ought to give good solid instruction, and should meet 

 the requirements of many boys who cannot attend the full year. 



(Short courses are considered as extension work and will be treated 

 under that head) . 



A Suggested New Course 



In order to give more fully practical farm training under the direc- 

 tion of the school it is suggested that a course be offered which shall 

 be co-extensive with the agricultural year, say from March 1 st to Nov- 

 ember 1st. (For a fuller discussion of this see Chapter XII The 

 School Farm).
