The Smith-Hughes Short
Course has been made possible through Government and State aid. In
December Mr. Ingebretzen organized a group of fellows, above school age,
for scientific study in Agriculture. It was a ten weeks' course, and
fifteen men were enrolled, with Mr. Bender, graduate of the Minnesota
State Agricultural School as instructor. At different times lectures
were offered by specialists sent from Ames. Work in soils, Farm
Bookkeeping and Arithmetic, Animal Husbandry, Manual Training and Engine
Repair was offered. This work proved so successful and far-reaching in
its results that are hopeful that this experiment may be repeated for
next year on a larger scale. |
