NAM COMMITTEES ad IN FARM TRAINING State Supt. Schaeffer Reports Agricultural Education Vital Part of Course.

nAnnitouttU, Public Interest in agricultural education In the rural scnools of the State has increased to sucn an extent during the past few years, according to State superinten dent N. C. Schaeffer, of the depart ment of public Instruction, that tilt ubject is a vital and integral nart oi ine course of study. uoctor -schaeffer devotes much at tention to this subject in the eightieth annual report of his department, allowing the widespread Interest today in agricultural education and contrasting this interest with the lack of enthusiasm shown after thep assage of the school code, in 1911, which provided for this study in all townshln nia-h schools. Tho State Superintendent says: "The school code of Mil the traching of agriculture compulsory in a.l township high schools.

Many of the borough high schools have incor porated tis subject In tho curriculum of study, not tiecause It is required by statute! aw, but because of te public demand for it. "In the rural schools agriculture is taught! thes eventh and eighth grad es, usually 'by combining the two clas- i. This work has consisted miite largely In the past of recitation work. but more practical work in the way of seed corn selection, germination tests, soil and fertilizer experiments. pruning and spraying exercised, is now undertaken.

This is also supplemented bv in spection trips to nearby fields, poultry rarms, dairy herds and by attendance at orchard demonstrations conducted by members of the State Department cf Agriculture. "A second type is agriculture as taught in the high schools, the curri culum being similar but more advancedApparatus is generally at hand for carrying on practical work. 'The purpose of incorporating ag riculture in the course of study in both the rural and the high school is to each fundamental principles underly- ng some of our common farm prart-ces, but its real purpose is the awak ening of the child's mind to the wond ers and laws of nature." Doctor Schaeffer discusses vocational agriculture as a third type. "This type," he says, "has for its purpose the training of boys for 'occupations connected with the tillage of the soil, forestry or other productive work on the It prepares for the vocation of farming, and is, therefore, one form of vocational training. "It is provided fo rby the vocational education act of the Legislature of 1913.

The rules and regulations drawn up in accordance with this law provide that agricultural schools or departments may be established unde' certain conditions where there is need for this type of instruction." Five districts have already established vocational agricultural schools under the State appropriation. They are at Honesdaie, Wayne County; Mens troso, Susquehanna County; Troy, Bradford County; Waterford, Erie County, and Mt. Pleasant township, Westmoreland County. "These departments are in charge ot agricultural teachers who are well qualified for this type of work," says Doctor Schaeffer, "in nearly every the teacher selected being born and raised on a and having graduated from a first-class agricultural col lege. Most of them have had from three to five years' teaching experience in addition.

The teachers are employed for twelve months their du ties during the summer months being supervision and instruction in conno1 tio with asricultu al projects. There are many high school in a number ot counties that have already made plans to start similar agricultural depart ments." HOSPITAL.

ENTIRE HOLIDAY STOCK TO BE CLOSED OUT A good idea for Christmas shoppers to bear In mind during Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is the fact that at the PERKIX jewelry store the en tire stock of holiday goods will beJ cleaned out. To bring this about prices have been put at the lowest ebb. Buyers before Christmas will get reductions as low as any that have marked any sales held following a holiday rush.

Tnis is following the policy of this store to share with the customers profits that other storeB must have. A lot. of the holiday stock is made right at the PERKIN store. Mr. Perkin is a manufacturer and way 'back in the summer months during the dull season he is at his workbench turning out goods for the holiday season.

Other stores must buy these articles and therefore wholesalers. Jobbers, commission men and others must get a good share in the profit. No so at the PERKIN store. Here you buy direct from the maker and as a result your dollar secures more value here than at other stores. On mesh stick pins, baby pins, lavaliers, lockets, cuff links, bracelets, bar pins, hat pins and the many little conceits dear to the feminine heart this store is ready to meet your every want and atp rices you can afford to pay.

If you have still a number of presents to buy and only a limited supply of money to get them with this is the place for you to visit. You can get more for your money here than elsewhere and every sale is backed by the PERKIN guarantee. Every sale must be satisfactory or money will be refunded! This is the policy that has made the PERKIN store popular with your neighbors. Come in and get acquainted. The walk away from Hamilton stieet will save you 20 to 30 per cent on every purchase.
