To Be Eligible for Training in Agriculture
At Bucks County, Pa., School
living in crowded cities for life
on the land. He envisioned the
need of a school to realize the
ambitions of these youths and to
serve the agricultural economy
of America, and created the Na-
tional Farm School to meet these
needs.
Trains City Boys
At no time in its history of half
a century has the purpose of the
National Farm School been more
important than it is today — to
train city boys for agricultural
opportunities.
Students at the National Farm
School are not only preparing
for future usefulness in agricul-
ture„ but they produce large
quantities of important food
products as a direct contribution
to the war effort.
Basic training at the National
Farm School offers a wide vista
to young men, some of whom
may be future specialists in food
Values and make definite contri-
butions to the welfare of all the
people.
Unique System
The system of instruction at
the Farm School is unique in its
emphasis on the practical phases
of farming., Classroom studies in
soil chemistry, agronomy, farm-
law, rural-civics, . English and
allied subjects are alternated in
seven week periods, with work
in the fields, barns, dairies,
poultry-houses and machine shop.
The traditional course is three
years, but to meet the serious
shortage of farm workers the
School has introduced condensed,
special one-year courses. Dr.
Louis Nusbaum, president of the
school, has integrated activities
to meet wartime needs.
The National Farm School is
supported largely by voluntary
contributions which enables it to
offer free tuition and mainten-
ance.
In Detroit, the National Farm
School is a beneficiary of the
Allied Jewish Campaign through
the War Chest of Metropolitan
Detroit.
