The depart- ment is now housed in the two buildings which makes it much more convenient for carrying on the work. The snap shots shown in this write-up were taken of some of the projects that are being car- ried on in connection with the Vocational Agriculture work. The project work is considered a very important part of the course and a good deal of time is spent on this phase of the work, The student selects his project after discussion in class on pro- ject work and after talking with his parents and instructor. The projects are selected with the THE Vocational Agriculture Department started out the year with the largest enroll- ment that the department has ever had, there being a total of fifty students enrolled. Of this number twenty-seven were en- rolled in Farm Engineering and twenty-three in Animal Produc- tion. The Agriculture Department has added to its buildings since last year. During the summer, work was started by the instruc- tor on another building the same size as the present one, twenty- four feet wide and forty-eight feet long, This building has a classroom for Agricultural in- struction, a tool room, paint room and store room. This was SHEEP PROJECT HOG PROJECT idea that it will give the boy a start in something that he is in- terested in and also that there is a good possibility of his making money on. The project also gives the boy an opportunity to put into practice some of the in- struction received in the class- room. Some of the projects car- ried were, one hundred head of sheep, fifty turkeys. fourteen acres of alfalfa, and eighteen hogs. The boy is urged to make his project a continuous one, and to increase the size each year, thus giving him a very good start in some phase of farming at the end of a four year course. BEVENTEEN

Due to crowded conditions this is the first year that the Department has had a room in the High School building. The Normal Training Course has been one of the chief courses which gave the students a real means of making their own way after leaving High School. The course covers eighteen subjects, some of which are Psychology, Practice Teaching, School Management, Reviews of all Grade Subjects, Special Methods, Ob- servation, Penmanship, Art, Public Speaking, Remedial Reading, Objective Testing, Picture Study, Course of Study, Story Telling, Agriculture, and Nature Study. Up until this time Normal Training has always been offered as fourth and fifth year work but there is a state-wide plan now to either make it fifth year or do away with it entirely. In view of this fact and due to the small enrollment, Normal Training will not be offered in Buffalo again. This seems the proper plan, for a pupil who has completed high school can obtain the same work at Laramie and at the same time get college experience and credit. This would be far more satisfactory than taking fifth year Normal Training and per- haps receive no credit at the University. The time is approaching rapidly when only teachers with two years of college work will be in demand. EIGHTEEN
