Practical Education in Agriculture Since the strength of our sta ' e and nation lies largely in its rural life, everything nos- sible should be done to train our rural yo ' ing men in increasing numbers for leadership in building a better and fuller life in the coun- try. To do this, the training should be of the atmosphere and the environment of our people in the open country, starting with things with which the child is familiar on the farm, and on this education building wisely, step by step. Where agriculture is taught in this way, education becomes a vital- izing dynamic factor in country upbuilding, instead of an alienating influence. In bringing about this better condition, this college has an important mission in preparing agricultural leaders and in aiding in other ways in the building of safe and sane agricultural practices in the state. Our graduates in agriculture will have unusual opportunities for service and remuneration in meeting responsibilities in their different lines of farming or other work of an agricultuaral nature. Consider what will be the condition in this state — and the time is not far distant — when in every rural community of the state the school courses will be carefully worked out and centered in a study of the fundamentals of the special type of agriculture of each particular community. North Carolina State College boys can and will hasten the coming of this better day in North Carolina. Dean Williams 25
