Abstract
AN important new feature of the annual report on the distribution of grants for agricultural education and research is a return giving the character of the instruction in agriculture provided by the county councils of England and Wales. The return shows that most counties are now spending considerable sums on agricultural education—altogether 88,893l, in 1902–3, and to this sum 9200l. was added by the Board of Agriculture in the form of grants to collegiate centres. It is estimated that some 22,000 immediate future less money will be spent on agricultural education, it is likely to be expended to greater advantage. The Board of Agriculture's report should be studied by all members of county education committees who are interested in agricultural education.
