Unique Philadelphia School Makes City Slickers Part of Farming
More than 200 countrified
slickers from the city were part
of the Pennsylvania Farm Show
this week.
They were students at the
Walter Biddle Saul High School of.
Philadelphia, a school
specializing in agricultural
sciences
All the students know the south
end from the north end of a cow
since they milk the 20 registered
Holstein cows kept on the city
school’s 80-acre farm
The city school is also unique in
this way it has no graffiti
scribbled on its walls.
Donald J Chattin, school
coordinator and one of 12 adults
who accompanied the students to
the Farm Show, said the school
seldom expierences malicious
mischief He attributes this to
“motivated” parents and
“motivated” students.

“The parents are interested in
what their children are doing and
this shows up in the way the
students act at school,” Chattin
said.
Another factor is that the
school, which has a student body
of 480, can accept only one of four
seeking admission All the
students are from within
Philadfelphia’s city limits ,
The school’s program is
markedly different from most
schools’ curricula It includes
meat cutting, crop and animal
production, landscaping,
machinery sales and service,
laboratory technology and turf
grass technology Grass
technology students use a one
hole golf course in their studies.
In addition to handling cows,
poultry and sheep kept at the
school, students are taught to
manage animals which are
