BOYS' DORMITORY. GIRLS' DORMITORY.
The National Farm School.
First--The National Farm School has for its object the fitting of capable boys for practical and scientific agricultural callings.
Second--We believe that in a country as large and as fertile as ours, the pursuit of agriculture will open an honorable and useful career to many a boy, who now wastes his years and opportunity in following a petty trading career, or wastes away in the sweat-shop treadmill, or is driven to an anarchistic discontent, or to crime or dependency, by non-employment, or by an insufficient living, in the slum-centres of the city.
Third--We believe that graduates of the National Farm School, holding agricultural diplomas, will readily find positions as directors of green-houses, as landscape gardeners, as managers of truck farms, stock farms, ranches, landed estates, or as Superintendents of colonies. We are also assured that such gradu-ates will be greatly encouraged by railroad companies and land companies. We also believe that the Baron de Hirsch Fund, and other similar funds, will lend material aid in helping such graduates settle on land of their own.
Fourth--While the National Farm School is to be strictly non-sectarian, and open to all, we deem it our duty to encourage especially those of the Jewish persuasion who have no marked fitness for commercial pursuits to become follow the most useful, and the most independent of all callings--that of agriculture.
