4—Lancaster Fanning. Saturday, April 14, 1962 From Where We Stand ... Vocational Agriculture and College As the closing of school draws clos- oi and closer, many vocational agricul- ture students leel they need additional education Many of the farm boys graduating ,n June will continue their education at .nstitutions of higher learning next fall before going into farming or one of the agricultural professions The ability of the vocational agri culture program to provide an adequate educational and scientinfic background tor these students is sometimes question ed There has been much information and misinformation published on this subject. Educators have tried for years to determine what courses in high .school will best prepare a student for .success in college There have been at least 328 se pal ate studies in this general area In stud> after study, the findings indicate no significant lelationship be tween high school subjects and acade mic success in college Instead, the general scholastic abili ty of the student appeared to be more mportant than any high school subject mattei pattern Recently a summary of the 16 nost lecem. studies was made b> Dr John R Williams Associate Professor of Agriculture Education at the Unuersity o Arizona In 14 of the 16 studies, vocational •giiculture students did as well as, or leltei than, high school academic stu dents in the same college classes In an Ohio State study in 1958, vocational agnculutre students were inferior to academic students in English work, and .n a 1950 study at lowa State, agncul ure students did not come up to their academic counterparts in Chemistry But in the Ohio State study, the agriculture students were superior to die academic students in Technical Agriculture. Botany, Mathematics and Chemistry In the lowa State study the aguculture students surpassed the aca demically trained students in all agncul ure subjects Studies at the University of Califor- State Soil Test , Interperted J>\ M.

These studies substantiate the be lief many of us have held for a long time when we advised the college bound farm boy to study vocational agriculture in high school Farm > boys entering high school next fall would do well to look long at these studies before deciding voca tional agriculture is only for the boy who plans to stay on the farm At least that’s how it looks from where we stand “Our transportation system in the States will mean more to me than it did now that I have seen what it is like to be without one ’ “There weie quite a few things that I took lor granted that really amused and sometimes amazed by Nepalese neighbors ” ‘On day, after live hours of hard climbing, I looked back to our starting point three miles below ” These and many other interesting observations were in the last letter from Glenn Porter before he returned to his home in Washington Boro after a six months stay in Nepal as an Internation al Farm Youth Exchangee Glenn has learned much about some of the other cultures of the world m the past year, but, we are sure, he left with the people he lived among some of the neighorlmess of Lancaster County capable of doing as much to ease world capable of doing as much to ease work tensions as all the conferences between diplomats At least that’s how it looks from where we stand Martin, East Earl Rl, East Kail Twp , 4n aties John H \\ ik< i UI Cones n i Iw p 7) ,u ie& John Ta < ol) llaio liu d-in-lland L’p- lii i l.Pii o k Tw |i 7 7 a< ros Joiemiah O Sensenm Quant t illo 111 Little Hi U.nn, 1 -17 m i e- Also Volt Hiothers (I S Voir) Pea.
