LANGUAGES ARE UNDER BAN IN FARMiNGCOURSE Agricultural .Curriculum In High School Drops Latin and German.
Latin. Algebra, German and other classical studies will be omitted from the vocational agricultural course In the Richmond high school. The vocational agricultural boys win take only the subjects that are of practical farm value. "Heretofore the farmer boys have come into the high schools and taken the regular academic courses that have tended to lead them farther and farther away from the agricultural field. As a result the farms have been depleted of the best kind of help and the engineering fields have been overcrowded," says Civio Gardener Murphy, who will have charge of the agricultural course. Agriculture will take up half the boy's time each day In the new agricultural course planned for Richmond high school. The remainder of the time . will be spent with English, Civics, Farm Accountancy, Farm Me
chanics, and Botany. All these sub
jects are closely related to agricultural life, and provide a suitable course for such of Its pupils as find their interests In agricultural work. The agricultural boys who have already taken work in the high school will be given full credit for such work. The regular academic requirements for graduation will be canceled, and the courses offered in the agricultural program will be substituted and full credit toward graduation will be given for such work.
