Each year notes a large increase in the number of vocational Agricultural Departments throughout the state. With a modest beginning in 1916, the number of departments have increased to 153, with a large number of schools on the waiting list. These facts also vouch for the value and popularity of vocational agricultural education for rural communities. This department was the first to be established in Hancock County, and is also one of the pioneer departments in the state, being founded in 1918-19. Since that time five more departments ,having been introduced in the County and no doubt more will follow in the near future. The activities of the vocational departments are numerous and varied. The practical and scientific study of the many different phases of farming such as animal husbandry, farm engineering, farm management and crops are studied in the class room. In addition to this activities are extended into the community through projects, club Work, short' courses, and in many other ways. We now have enrolled -I-2 boys in the department, which makes the fourth largest in the state, and considering the size of the school this is remarkable. Forty three
