BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 23

1. That the University of Illinois have responsibility for the undergraduate teacher-education work in agriculture; 2. That none of the Teachers Colleges should attempt to provide more than two years of education for teachers of vocational agriculture; 3. That the Teachers Colleges should continue to teach agriculture. Such work should be designed: (1) as introductory work in the field of agriculture for prospective vocational agriculture teachers who plan to transfer to the University to complete their education; (2) to provide education for non-vocational agriculture teachers; (3) to meet the needs of rural school teachers; (4) to provide illustrative material for teachers of subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and social studies; 4. That an adequate offering of terminal education should be provided in such centers as the Teachers Colleges to meet the needs of their farmer clientele on a regional basis. For the most part this would be a terminal two-year or shorter program. Those who need a more extensive program than the Teachers Colleges offer should transfer to the University College of Agriculture; 5. T h a t teaching personnel, laboratory, and other facilities at the Teachers Colleges should be brought into line with the objectives outlined above for the teaching of agriculture. In some Teachers Colleges this would mean a reduction of staff and facilities, while in others, additional staff and facilities might be needed. ( T h e addition of such facilities in those institutions where they are not now available would provide for a regional service of the type discussed earlier in this chapter. It should be emphasized that this additional service should be provided only after adequate provision has been made for the primary function of the Teachers Colleges. This, as was pointed out above, is the preparation of elementary and high-school teachers.) 6. That the State Board for Vocational Education approve no institution in the State, other than the University of Illinois, for the preparation of teachers of vocational agriculture.
