Mr. Eliot, along with many other men from the Extension Service, the College and Experiment Station, spoke = before the institute, and in later con- ferences with Major B. F. Pittenger, chief cducational director there, he worked out the plan for the school - of agriculture, which will continue for from three to six months, as the = demand for this character of instruec- tion may direct. The desires of the men along par- ticular phases of agriculture and al- lied subjects will be ascertained and. ..- experts along these lines procured to . =: give the needed instruction.
