Parts of the program are clothing construction, food preparation, interior decor- ation and home furnishings, family living and child care. The junior high school girls have a general course, sen- ior high have vocational homemaking in the course in which home projects are included. The objectives of the Agriculture Department are: Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve There are many fields related to agriculture in which boys can find their place. lt is not professed by the Agriculture Department that all the boys enrolled in the course will become master farmersg nor that all boys in this program should go into farming. The boys are taught byacombination of book knowledge with the application of that knowledge in the practical side of life. The students enrolled in these classes have partici- pated in parliamentary procedure work, 'leadership Training Conference, as well as some social activities. A demonstration team attended the farm show as in previous years. The department feels that it is also a part of its job to develop the boys to the point where they can and will take their place as leaders in the field of agriculture or some related field.
