This is not a new plan, but has been tried in four States, and with most gratifying success. Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska and IVIinnesota have all es- tablished these Agricultural High Schools, and although they were start- ed in Georgia wholly as a private en- terprise, they are now taken over by the State and are to be found in every county of the State. We have one such school in California, and it is doing good work, and will make it easy to mul- tiply such institutions. These schools have been so well re- ceived where they have been started, that it will not be difficult to get this Bill passed almost unanimously, by the coming Congress, and we should all do all we can to help in the matter. This plan carried out promises much in many ways: It will make more effi- cient farmers, more intelligent laborers; will give education a more practical tone, without lessening its disciplinary value, and will tend to swell the already large and rapidly-growing attendance at our agricultural colleges. The business of agriculture will be elevated, as more intelligence is brought into it, and the call for trained men in these Agricultu- ral High Schools, will bring a demand for more knowledge and research in these directions, which must be worth much to our people.
