These 'salaries are much higher than those paid for ordinary second- 

 ary school education. Agricultural teachers everywhere in such institu- 

 tions have a higher rate of pay than teachers of academic subjects, but 

 even considering this the rates at the Milwaukee school are higher. 

 This is true in academic subjects as well as in agriculture. For the sal- 

 aries paid the teaching should be of the best.

Periods are forty minutes each with a five minute intermission. In 

 addition instructors do extension work, prepare lessons, correct papers, 

 do farm work connected with the school, etc. The amount of this has 

 never been determined. An attempt on the part of the survey to get 

 this information from faculty members themselves was unsuccessful. 

 The superintendent estimated that the men spent on the average seven 

 hours a day at the school. This does not include Saturday when 

 there are no classes. The amount of class work compares favorably 

 with that done in other secondary schools. The amount of additional 

 work determines largely how much more or less faculty members might 

 be expected to do, and information on this is not available.
