Agricultural Administration in Austria-Hungary. G95 
14 in the North-East Districts (viz., Galicia 13, and the 
Bukowina 1). 
4 in the Adriatic region. 
Thus it -will be seen that the two northern provinces of 
Bohemia and Moravia have more than half (58) of the total 
number of schools. 
The schools may be divided into three great groups : — Either 
(1) the scholars are thoroughly instructed in the practice and 
theory of the whole subject of agriculture ; or (2) they are so far 
instracted that they can superintend the labour of others ; or 
(3) they are taught only enough to enable them to manage a 
small farm of their own by their own manual labour. 
State Agricultural Academy at Vienna. — The first, or highest 
kind of teaching, is given at the Hochschule fur Bodencultur at 
Vienna, founded in 1872, and now under the direct control of 
the Ministry of Public Instruction, which contributes annually 
over 10,000/. to its support. The teaching-staff consists of 18 
professors, 19 lecturers, and 9 assistants, and the school has labo- 
ratories for agriculture, chemistry, technical chemistry, physio- 
logy, vegetable physiology, and anatomy, as well as a library, 
a museum, collections, and an experimental garden for forestry. 
There is an entrance fee of 8s., and the lectures cost 21. for each 
half-year, the use of the chemical laboratory being 8s., and of the 
technical laboratory 16s. extra. There are 30 Government 
scholarships of the total value of 000/ which may be held by 
students. They range in value from 17/. to 25/. 
Only those students are eligible for the Hochschule who have 
passed through the entire course at an ordinary middle school. 
In 1889 there were 240 students on the books, of whom 120 
were studying agriculture, 112 forestry, and 14 agricultural 
technology. Students are at liberty to choose what lectures 
they wish to attend, and to prolong their studies as long as they 
like. There is, however, a plan of studies for each division 
comprising a three years' course of lectures. The students are 
required to pass several periodical examinations called " Staats- 
prufungen'' and after the conclusion of their triennial period 
of study, they may submit themselves to examination and gain 
a diploma. Those who pass the examinations successfully have 
the right to the title " Diplomirter Landwirth " or " Diplomirter 
Forstwirth," according as they have passed in agriculture or 
in forestry. 
The coarse of study is severe, and the examinations are 
searching. To obtain a diploma in agriculture, the candidate 
must pass in mathematics, mechanics, physics ; land-surveying ; 
meteorology and climatology ; inorganic, organic, and agricul-
