Book Description

Excerpt from Agricultural Education: Historically Considered The states that had no agricultural colleges and followed this method can be put into one class, and the other states can be put into four classes, although the misleading titles of colleges, the absence of full information, and the uncertainty of many of. The statistics, make the limits of division somewhat uncertain, and take much from the accuracy of the conclusions. In the first class are three New England states (connecticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont), two Middle states (delaware and New Jersey), six Southern states (kentucky, Louisiana, Mis souri, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee), and the Western states Minnesota and Oregon. Of the colleges thus endowed in the New England states, two, at least, have done excellent work upon subjects within the scope of the national act, and one has been especially marked for its good work in agricultural chemistry but agricultural stu dents have been curiosities in all three of the states, for the three colleges together have probably not graduated three such students during the last fifteen years.
