Wednesday, November 23, STUDENTS. ADULTS WILL GAIN BY NEW SCHOOL DEPARTMENT In only two weeks, McHenry school district voters will go to the polls to decide a $1,250,000 bond issue on the erection of an addition to the present high school. In recent weeks, the needs of Various departments -have been cited by faculty members who best know the requirements in 9 o^der to maintain a modern, well . equipped school. This week the needs of the agriculture department are made known. ^ The present Ibulliding has a classroom that has graduated through several classifications £ during the| school's existence. At one time General Science, general agriculture and biology found they could get along in the space. AS general agriculture was promoted to vocational agriculture, that subject and biology com- > peted for the room. The former won out and biology has grown and now needs facilities for neart ly 200 students per year. The agriculture department has expanded also, although more in depth of area served rather than mere numbers. With' one of its major aims being to aid those who are, or who desire to bei come farmers to make a begin- * ning and advance in farming, , education cannot stop when the young man reaches the age of 18, according to local instructors. Modern farming is a demanding business, requiring constant study and research to meet the problems of making a comfortable living. With this in mind, the local department, even with limited facilities, has offered courses for young farmers just out of school, for veterans eligible under the Gl Bill and for adults in whatever prohlem area the advisory council recommends. Serves Public In this way, eight to twelve $• .young farmers, from three to ten veterans and from twenty-five to forty-ifive adult farmers have been able to use the facilities along with thirty-five to forty high school agriculture students annually. To meet the increasingly important demands of farm mechanization, an adequately sized farm shop properly equipped is usually located in relation to the agriculture classroom in such a yr&y that work can be easily supervised in both places at the same time. Along with the shop and agriculture room, a distinct need is found for a laboratory room for milk testing and s6Q testing so ( these activities may be carried oh ' by any age group without dis- ! rupting a class. A separate office or conference room for the instructor has proved helpful too and may also serve as a reading room for members of the community since it would contain the latest books . and bulletins on farming. THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER t: J .. |s Complete 0nit . This complete unit often being at one end. of the school and serving the public day and night, washroom facilities are considered necessary. To promote better understanding with the rest of the school concerning the agriculture program and F.F.A. activities, a trophy case and bulletin board in a connecting hallway add'to the attractiveness of the building. The agriculture shop requires space. Areas are needed for woodworking, metal working, welding and painting. The erection of farm buildings and equipment required space. The maintenance and general overhaul of farm equipment and machinery make a need for plenty of space and tools, storage of tools and lumber supplies requires planning in the allotment of: space. • All of this adds up to a complete progtam of vocational agriculture aimed at serving everyone in the community who is aware of what it has to offer. A complete agriculture unit can put the "farm" back into the program where up to this time It has depended on strictly classroom work. A true farmer can't get his brain into a natural environment unless he has the opportunity to "think with his hands," say those closest to the subject. .November Garden Club -- 1:30 p.m. -- Mrs. A.
