Public Schools Criticised At Purdue Meeting
The Indiana commission on industrial and agricultural education met at Purdue University and found schools fail to meet farmers needs. Critics said high schools are unattractive to boys who then leave farming, calling for practical agricultural and domestic science work to attract students and improve training. The commission, appointed by Governor Marshall under the Yarling bill, will study education across Indiana industries and advise the next legislature.
