VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE DANIELSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Daniclsville, Ga. Aug IG —Any boy in Madison County, who is four teen years old or older, will have an opportunity to study Vocational Ag riculture this year in Danielsville, in addition to the regular courses in high school work. Danielsville has followed the lead of fifty other high school's in putting on this type of work. Every boy en rolled will be given a unit credit, the same as in a course of mathemat ics, English, science, or any other subject given in the high school. In addition to the class room work in all subjects, the boy will he ex pected to carry on a home project; that is, to grow a crop or raise some line of live stock under the supervis ion of the teacher According to the annual report of the state superin tendent, Paul W,. Chapman, the boys enrolled in this work in Geor gia last year made $200,000.00. Mr. It D . Maltby of the federal bu reau for vocational work stated that the boys in agriculture classes * in Georgia during the past four years who had grown cotton averaged making $2lB. Many boys since beginning this work have saved -enough money to pay their expenses thru college. Many of the boys are saving their money for educational purposes, some to buy farms, some to invest in live stock and some in poultry busi ness . The idea of the course is a prac tical one, and application of princi ples will'be made on the home farm. The teachers are employed twelve months in the year so that -4.ltWf.vamM supervise the practical work as well as teach the classes while school is, in session. One half of tire salary of the teachers and one half of the cost of equioing the school for work is paid from funds administered by the Georgia State Board for Vocational Education. During the school year which clos ed in June 1924 there were 11,604 farm boys in Georgia given the priv ilege of receiving systematic instruc tion in Agriculture as a regular inte “CALVIN!” ■r .Vi ' 4 * v ' O-/ .flu V . - :-X' * i is'--/l ‘vi \ 4 4 *** 'Safe, | -{ ( r- J | f -r '■ ■ / -'/ \ J " * ... ——...
