TEACHING AGRICULTURE
REMODELLING UNIVERSITY COURSE. By Telegraph.—Press Association.’ Christchurch, December 4. The Canterbury Agricultural College has remodelled the diploma course and two courses of instruction at Lincoln College are now provided, one for a teachers and experimenters and one for a college diploma most suitable for practising farmers. These two courses have in the past each occupied three years and have beeu conducted concurrently, but the improved staffing and equipment recently secured by the college have enabled the board of governors to make arrangements for their differentia Jon. In the future the university course will cover four years and will be based chiefly on the sciences, while the diploma course will cover only two years and will be based chiefly on economics and the practical utilisation of farm resources. It is hoped that many voting farmers who could not be spared from their homes for three years may be able to attend the college for two. The new arrangement will allow an increase ot about 50 per cent, to the numbers that can be taken at the college each year. The new fees covering tuition, board and residence and laundry have been fixed at fifty guineas per annum.
