The total earnings by the boys from their projects for 1917 was $4780.64 for 16 boys. This shows an increase over
135
1916, when 26 boys made a project return of $4501.13. Table A appended hereto gives a detailed financial report of each boy's project work.
A number of boys enlisted thus making a smaller num- ber of projects for 1917.
Though some of the projects do not show a large profit, and in some cases are rather small in themselves, the re- turns from the Reading department are well up to the top of the list of departments in the state.
During the spring and summer the department ren- dered efficient service to the local farmers and gardeners in the food production drive. This work was carried on under the supervision of the Public Safety Committee of Reading. Hundreds of calls for advice about crops, sprays, insects, fertilizers and other agricultural matters were answered by mail or in person. A course of ten lectures on gardening was conducted by the instructor in the evening, for the benefit of adult gardeners.
An exhibit of equipment and teaching apparatus was made by the department at Quannapowitt Fair. The exhibit aroused considerable interest and received many favorable comments.
The 1917-1918 projects for the boys are gardening and animal husbandry.
Eighteen boys were registered in September. Since then 7 boys have entered and 4 have left, leaving a present enrollment of 22. This is an excellent showing, consider- ing the present call for young men and boys for industrial employment and for military service.
Stock judging was taken up early in the course and con- siderable use was made of the stock on several nearby farms. The boys soon became very proficient in this work. A judging team was sent to compete against several other agricultural schools and departments, including the Essex County School and the Weymouth and Concord departments. Our team won second and third places.
.

The boys also judged swine and cows at the Quanna- powitt Fair, doing excellent work. Dr. Playdon presented the winners with prizes of ribbons and money.
The local farms were used extensively in connection with seasonal instruction.
On the neighboring farms such subjects as crop harvest- ing, crop selection for seed and exhibit, systems of feeding and housing of farm animals, and other allied projects, were studied by practice. This method of instruction will be developed more as time advances. Arrangements have been made for part time work on farms and in nearby greenhouses.
During the winter term, the instructor will carry on shop work as applied to agriculture. This work will consist of harness making and mending, pipe fitting, and soldering such as a farmer should be able to do; repairing, adjusting and operating gasoline engines, and the construction of utensils and buildings useful to the farmer and his animals. In the spring, a course in cement work will be given. The above mentioned winter work should not be confused with the ordinary manual training work, which derives its value from the relationship that it bears to the general or non- technical instruction of the school. The type of work we give has for its object the doing of practical work under farm shop conditions and the construction of an output of commercial value.
The instructor attended the semi-annual conference of Agricultural instructors held at Amherst the week of December 17. Many new ideas received there will be incor- porated into the work.
During the year the instructor made 319 visits to the pupils' projects.
A number of distinguished people visited the depart- ment, among them the Minister of Education of Yucatan, the Minister of Agricultural Education of China, the Di- rectors of Vocational Education of Iowa, Texas and Califor- nia, and Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of "Outlook."
137
Mr. Rufus W. Stimson, of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, has inspected the agricultural work and it has met with his approval. He has pointed out mis- takes and suggested corrections, and every effort will be made to follow these out during the ensuing year.
Lectures on agricultural subjects were given by the instructor in the neighboring towns, and he also acted as judge at several local fairs and exhibits.
It might be well to state, at this point, that the Agri- cultural instructor is very ready to render any agricultural service, within his power, to the community.
The Reading Chronicle has been a very efficient means for disseminating agricultural information of value to the general public, and the instructor wishes to express his thanks for its hearty cooperation.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the teachers, parents and students, and all those who have helped the department by their moral support or by lending animals, tools or equip- ment for the use of the pupils.
I wish also to thank you, Mr. Safford, for your kind suggestions and cooperation.
RUDOLF SUSSMAN.
