find their own bed, bedding, and towels ; while strangers pav 
2s. per dav, and have these things provided for them. A well- 
arranged restaurant belongs to the Academy, and students can 
live as cheaply, or almost as extravagantly, as thej choose. 
About 2s. per dav is estimated to be the cost of food on a 
moderate scale. Students are not compelled to take their meals 
at this restaurant. There are other inns in the neighbourhood 
to which they may resort. They mav also lodge in private 
houses, if they prefer that to taking rooms in the Academy 
buildings, but in such case they are not entirely relieved ot 
payments for lodging. Notwithstanding the great inducements 
ofiFered by the low terms to natives of Wiirtemberg, it appears 
that at Mr. Jenkins's visit only one-third of a total of seventy 
students or thereabouts belonged to that State. Only about 
twenty or thirtv students take their half-yearlv certificates, and 
not more than two or three their final diploma in any year. 
The course of study extends over two years, in four half-yearly 
sessions. 
The State grant to this fine Institution exceeds 5000/. per 
annum. If therefore the number of students averages seventy, 
the State contributes about 73/. per head towards the expenses 
of maintaining: it, without takin? into account the cost of land 
and buildings, nor the pavments made by the students them- 
selves for instruction and living. 
With this example of the liberal manner in which a minor 
State consents to endow and uphold an Agricultural Educa- 
tional Institution, Mr. Jenkins concludes his report on the 
higher agricultural teaching of Germany. It is almost 
unnecessary to observe that manv Institutions of importance 
mentioned by Mr. Jenkins, have been passed over unnoticed 
by me. Of such are the Academv at Poppelsdorf, near Bonn : 
the Agricultural Institute of the Royal University of Konigs- 
berg; and others at Kiel, Breslau, ^Munich, Leipzig, Giessen, 
Jena, &ic. 
IXTEBSLEDIATE AgEICCLTUEAI. EDUCATION IK Gf.TvM\XY. 
The main object of the Landicirthschaftsschulen has been 
already explained : but this appellation seems somewhat of a 
misnomer, as these schools are far more than purelv agricul- 
tural It may be well to explain then that, whilst a Gymnasium 
is a school at which a liberal education of a classical tendency 
is given, and a Realschule stands on the same level, with the 
exception that in it the education is more devoted to mathe- 
matics and modem languages ; at the Landicirthschaftsschulen 
an equivalent education is supplied, in which languages and
