Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Industrial Colleges Washington, December 10, 1864. To the Industrial Classes: Occupying the position of statistician in the Department of Agriculture, it is my duty to examine the letters of its correspondents relative to the crops. Many of them, from time to time, have desired information on the best plan to establish the Industrial Colleges, for the endowment of which land donations have been made by Congress. It was not proper to overlook their requests, for the reason especially that, as yet, little has been written on such plan, either as to the general character of the instruction that should be given in these colleges, or on their special courses of instruction, or on the plans of their buildings, workshops, and experimental farms. In complying with the wishes of these correspondents, and of others, it has been my aim to communicate some information on all of these important topics. The article is divided into three parts. The first contains my own views of the general nature of the education that ought to be given in these colleges, and the practical purposes such education should aim to accomplish; the second shows the particular courses of instruction given in European agricultural schools; and the third exhibits the plan of the buildings, the extent and arrangement of the museum, &c., of an industrial college. What is stated in the second part is taken mostly from the recent and excellent report of Mr. Flint, who has visited these schools, to the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture. The third part has been kindly prepared, at my request, by Richard Owen, professor of science in Indiana State University, a brother of the late David Dale Owen, and one not less eminent in scientific attainments. It will be found to be the most important part of this article, especially to legislators, and others upon whom will devolve the duty of selecting plans for the buildings, providing means for their erection, and for the purchase of the museum, apparatus, and library. I have prepared this article not ignorant of the diversity of opinion that exists on the subject of industrial education; but, whether opposing or concurring in any views therein expressed, all should remember that it is only by an examination of diverse opinions that those which are correct can be ascertained. It has been prepared, too, not without the hope that it will aid in the successful establishment of the industrial colleges, upon a basis as enlarged as is the magnitude of the interests of the industrial classes in them, and upon a plan that will secure their success, so that, by their success, they will vindicate the right of the industrial classes to equal instruction with that claimed for the professions.
