AGRICULTURE PROGRAM UNDERGOES CHANGES TO MEET NEW NEEDS Even if it were true the stu dy of agriculture and related fields has declined in impor tance in the high school curri culum, as some observers claim, it is impossible to see evidence of this trend at Jones Central High School. Over the years, steps have been taken to update the Jones Central Agricultural program. Where once the aim of “voca tional agriculture” in the high school was to encourage and en ■ able boys to establish farms of their own after leaving school, today the course offerings are much broader and the goals much less limited. Granted, fewer people have been retained on farms as me chanized and Scientific agricul ture has developed. But this has hot made less acute the need for universal knowledge of plant and animal develop ment as well as how agricultur al production relates economi “ to fulfilling the endless of pur growing urban and population. Because constant awareness of the changing needs of stu dents, particularly those from rural homes, has been maintain ed at Jones Central over the years, the agricultural program has not been permitted to be come static and wither on the vine. Instead, changes, some major and some minute, have been made. Each step has been tak en with a single purpose in mind. That purpose is to make the program valuable to the stu dents both in terms of their background and their future. ! What does this mean in spe cific terms? To begin with, it means that both the agricultural curriculum and the number of teachers at Jones Central has become Jaeg er. This year a thirdteaefaer joined the department.1 The three agriculture special ists at Jones Central are John Hughes Pollock, G. T. Koonce, Jr., and Joe Tyndall. All three are graduates of N. C. State Uni versity. g What about the courses they teach? This year 208 students are taking courses in the agricul tural area. These courses range from introductory units for freshmen to advanced work in specialized fields for juniors and seniors. The introductory courses are taught by Mr. Tyndall. Agricul ture 701 is designed to help the students explore vocational op portunities, to become familiar with “the world of work,” and to develop the special interests of the individual. This course is titled, “Introduction to Agri cultural Vocations.” Agriculture 702 is devoted to basic sciences and mechanics. Covered in detail in the second yegr course are animals, plants, SOJBB, mechanics and business. Courses in the agricultural mechanics and construction areas are taught by Mr. KoonCe. Ag riculture 705.1, construction, is devoted to study and practical wink in four phases of agricul tural building. They are carpen uMS:: ...i ., ... Ski,, . try, electricity, plumbing and concrete. Agricultural Mechanics, 705.2 is an intensive course in the care and use of equipment. The advanced courses in plant science are taught by Mr pollock. General Horticulture, 705.3, is a study of basic planl growth and development. Much use is made of the new green house on the Jones Central campus. The course also in eludes fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. Ornametal Horticulture, 705.4 is a study of the production oi ornamental plants and such re lated units as landscape garden ing, nursery and greenhouse practices, and home beautifica tion. This broad program has beer established in order to meei the needs of the students. This (includes the cardinal aim oi all formal training, which is t< educate a citizen who is equip ped to compete in the laboi market in whatever area o: wor kand geographic area h< when one-fourth of the sentence has been served. In four cases in which an equal number of men were charged with breaking, enter ing and larceny, each defend ant was given a suspended sen tence and required to pay a fine.
