The Cotton School;
an Important Innovation.
The State of Georgia is now
furnishing the rest of the country
two or three educational innova
tions of such importance as to jus
tify honorable mention in this re
view of the worlds news. The
first of those innovations was the
recent ten-day cotton school held
at the Agricultural College at
Athens. Hundreds of farmers and
boys took this ten-day course, and
the good that will result is incal
culable. There were ten lectures
on the soil; ten on fertilizers; five
on the cotton plant; five on seed
selection; five on cotton diseases;
five on cotton insects; five on cot
ton by-products; five on cotton
machinery; three on cotton ware
housing—all this instruction by
experts working with suitable
equipment, and with practical in
struction in cotton grading in ad
dition. The experiment was a
thorough success and we hope to
see similar schools established in
connection with other agricultural
colleges in the South.—Exchange.
