Report on Agricultural Education. 
Landboskohr. — At one of the Landboskoler which was established 
in 1873 education is given to girls. Special instruction in 
dairying bj lectures and by practical work, both as regards 
milking and dairy management, is here given. The girls are 
divided into two classes ; and while one receives instruction in 
dairy work, the other is being taught dairy account-keepings 
writing, and female handiwork generally. The cost here is not 
quite 21. per month for board, lodging, light and firing. 
The subventions to the two last-mentioned schools are insig- 
nificant, and Mr. Jenkins remarks that it is marvellous how 
with such small fees the last one pays its way at all. 
The Royal Veteeinary and Agricultural College. 
Without doubt the most important agricultural institution in 
Denmark is the Government establishment of the Royal Vete- 
rinary and Agricultural College. It provides the highest course 
of theoretical instruction in veterinary science, agriculture, 
estate management, horticulture, forestry, &c. There are no 
less than twenty-two professors and lecturers, headed by the 
eminent director Professor Jorgensen. The College buildings 
contain class-rooms, museums, laboratories, &c., such as one 
expects in an establishment of the kind, and the subjects taught 
are anatomy and physiology, pathology and therapeutics, 
chemistry and pharmacy, agriculture, veterinary medicine, land 
surveying and levelling, botany, forestry, physics and meteoro- 
logy, veterinary surgery and clinics, dairying, book-keeping,, 
agricultural engineering, general zoology, veterinary police, 
land laws, mathematics, shoeing, gardening, geology, and phar 
maceutical practice. 
Nearly 300 students wer^ being educated in this College in 
1880, of which 122 were veterinary, and 76 agricultural. The 
remainder were studying land-agency, forestry, horticulture^ 
and miscellaneous subjects. 
The students provide their own board and lodgings, accord- 
ing to their taste and means, the College providing only 
instruction. Attendance at the lectures is absolutely free, and 
all persons may take advantage of them without any obligatioa 
to pass examinations or to enrol themselves as students. Some 
small fees are paid by students on certain occasions, which go 
to provide bursaries for deserving and necessitous students. 
The expenses of the College are defrayed entirely by the State, 
and it costs about 7000/. a year, without reckoning the capital 
expended in buildings, &c. 
The students belong to every class of rural society, from the 
sons of large landowners, who have been educated at private 
schools, down to the sons of small tenant-farmers, who have
