Teachers Engaged in Mowing And Lectures At Hawkesbury College

A three week agricultural course for top state teachers began January 2, 1906 at Hawkesbury College. The first day mixed sightseeing and geography with early rising and a harsh breakfast routine. Morning lectures ran four hours with minimal breaks in stifling air, while the afternoon featured hands on mowing where teachers armed with scythes battled to master strokes and postures.
