We want our program to serve the community in a way that the people will be able to develop new abili- ties and new attitudes in anticipation ot new situations in the field ot agriculture. Farming is a method ot living as well as a busi- ness. Special training in vocational agriculture must necessarily contain material that will train the student tor slcilltul operative processes required- tarming tor managerial abilities and tor civic and home obligations.
