Rural Education in France Leads Global Agricultural Push
At the Agricultural Conference Chief Veterinarian J A Gilruth praised France for advancing rural education. He cited the agricultural department’s role in tripling farm output over twenty years, its self funding, and the integrated primary lessons, study gardens, and farm schools started in 1874 for youths aged thirteen to sixteen. The system emphasizes practical training, fair pay, and cultivation of capable farmers and overseers.

They train farmers for small to medium holdings with mixed theory and hands on work, field demonstrations, and extensive staff including a director, science professors, veterinarians, and foremen. The system aims to widen access, lower fees, and extend short courses, winter schools, and military instruction.
