C, March. 2 In President-Riddick 's recent biennial report of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts the following information is given concern ing these summer courses offered by the institution: The summer training school for the demonstration agents in the various counties has. been continued during the past two summers. The Federal Government pays the expenses of these men for the weeks of attendance at this school. The teaching is done with out compensation by the regular agri cultural professors. Those attending live in the College buildings and board in the College dining halL During the summer of 1915 and 1916 the college gave a one week course of study to members of boys' clubs. In 1015, 224 boys attended this course. In 1910 there were 351 in attendance. These boys were, taught by the agricul tural teachers of the College arid some tachci'3 from the State Agricultural high schools. There was great enthu siasm among the boys who attended, and we look for a large increase in at tendance next summer. Immediately following this course for the club boys, the Farmers' Con vention was held at the College, at which there was an attendance of one thousand farm women and men. For three years the college has con ducted during the month of June a summer school for the principals of the State high schools. The"teaching was confined to agricultural subjects and was done by members of the Col lege faculty .It is intended to extend the scope of work this summer, and the College will conduct a summer school at which teachers can be in structed in everything pertaining to public school work of the state, special emphasis being put upon agricultural and industrial branches. With this summer school in June and July the course for demonstration agents, the course for corn club boys, and the Far mers' convention, the plant of the Col lege will be occupied every month of the year.
