RACINE COUNTY
SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
AND DOMESTIC ECONOMY

THE various phases of industrial education have become an
important part of our educational system. No part in
the movement of industrial education has received as
much attention as that which relates to th~ improvement of
farming and home making. This movement has led to the
establishment of schools of agriculture and domestic economy
of various classes. Secondary schools have been organized in.
all parts of the country for the purpose of improvement of rural
conditions and dignifying farm and home work.
t:=::::l .

uu

Wisconsin became interested in this movement in 1899 and
State Superintendent L. D. Harvey was instructed to investigate schools of other states teaching industrial work of the
farm and home. After a thorough investigation Dr. Harvey
reported to the governor January 1, 1<J01, recommending the
establishment of county schools of agriculture and domestic
economy, subject to the vote of the county board of supervisors
,and approval by state authority.
A course of study was
suggested for the proposed schools. The legislature of 1901
passed a law permitting the establishment of two schools, but
since amended to permit the establishment of ten schools. Two
schools were opened in 1902, two more in 1907, one in 190() and
two more are to begin work in 1912, one of these being in
Racine county.

LOCATION
The Racine County School of Agriculture and Domestic
Economy is located at Rochester, a beautiful little village
situated on the banks of the Fox river. It is on the Milwaukee
Electric railroad which connects with the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul, and Soo lines at Burlington, five miles away, and
with theEast Troy branch at St. Martins. Rochester is in the
midst of an excellent farming community and is an ideal
location for such a school. From 1867-1911 it was the home of
. the Rochester Academy which has been a great factor in the
education of the people of this portion of the state. The
Academy building has been given to the county, and will be
used as a dormitory if necessary. A large, new building is
provided by the county on an elevation on the west bank of the
river, giving a beautiful view of the river and of the fine farms
of the community.

PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL
The purpose of the school is to give a course covering two
years of work which will fit the young man and the young
woman for the work of the farm and the home. The theoretical
and practical are to be blended in order to produc~ intelligent
workers having a greater interest in the work because of a
wider understanding. Present day problems of the farm and
home are taught and the way to meet these conditions which
may become emergencies. Aside from these things the school
will aim to fit its students to be more intelligent and useful
citizens with right aims and purposes.

EQUIPMENT
A fine, brick building as shown on the second page is provided for the school. The main building is 86 ft. by 46 ft. and
provides rooms for chemistry, dairying, agronomy, soils,
mechanical drawing, library, offices, wardrobes, assembly room
and recitation room on the first two floors, while the third floor

7

/~

'

jC;/Z-~9
provides kitchen, pantry, dining-room, sewing and fitting room,
girls' rest room, store room, office and recitation room for
domestic economy work.
An annex 80x77 ft. extends back of the main building and
provides carpenter, blacksmith and machine shop and boiler room
on the first floor and a fine gymnasium 41x80 ft. on the second
floor, which may be used as a lecture room or for public
meetings and at times of farmers' courses. In connection with
the gymnasium are two toilet and iocker rooms provided with
hot and cold showers, and other modern conveniences.
An excellent equipment is provided to carry on the work as
outlined in the course of study. A good reference library is
provided and in connection with it is a traveling library. The
village library will also be open for the use of the students.
The school has 40 acres of land for demonstrational and
experimental work. An option is held on 88 acres more and
the whole will be used as a demonstrational farm.
A good athletic field for base ball, tennis, etc., will be
provided.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Young men and women may enter this school, and gain the
advantages in an education for real work, upon the completion
of the common or graded school course of study. High school
graduates will find this an excellent school to attend before
beginning the work of the home or farm. The high schoo1
course covers but very little of the work done in this school.
Persons of sufficient maturity may enter the school although
they have not completed the above work.
If in doubt as to qualifications to enter, write to the
principal at once. Applications should be sent in as soon as
possible.
·

EXPENSES
Tuition is free to a11 students residing in the state. Text
books may be bought at the school at cost. A breakage fee of
$2.00 will be charged, being returned at the close of the school
year if no damages ·have been done in the laboratories 9r
otherwise.
8

/C;tz~lo

.

Board and room may be had in Rochester at reasonable
rates. Arrangements may be made for unfurnished rooms by
those who wish to ro01n and board themselves. It is suggested
that those interes.ted write to the principal. A canvas of the
village has been made for available boarding places, and a
record is in the office. The principal will aid in placing pupils
in desirable places.
.
·

SOCIAL LIFE
Literary and debating societies will be organized to give
the pupils a chance to think and express their own thoughts.
These m~etings will give the pupils training in parliamentary
proceedings.
Social evenings will be arranged for and everything will be
done to make these occasions entertaining and beneficial to
those attending.

FARMERS' COURSES
Meetings for farmers will be held during the year, and
a farmers' course will be held for three days during the winter
for the benefit of the farmers of this part of the state. These
farmers' courses are held at the various county agricultural
schools in the state and at other points under the auspices of
the Department of Agriculture at the State University.
The courses have become quite popular throughout the
state, the enrollments varying from 300 to 1000. ¥latch for the
place and date which will appear later, and arrange your work
so that you may attend.
A farmers' school for five days has also been arranged.
This will be given by members of the faculty of the University
of Wisconsl.n and intensive work on two of the following
subjects will be given: Corn, dairying, soils, poultry or
vegetable gardening.

MUSIC
This department is under the direction of Anna May
Sansom, A. B. Mus. Bac. Miss Sansom has worked in Rochester
for the past two years, the first being in the Rochester
Academy. When the academy closed she was provided with a
studio and has continued the instrumental and vocal with a
marked success. Her pupils have given recitals during this
time that have been indicative of the high grade of teaching
done. During the month of June, 1912, the pupils of Miss
Sansom gave a series of recitals lasting two days. Persons
attending felt that Rochester is afforded all the benefits of the
large cities in the musical work done, and persons. desiring
instrumental or vocal work are afforded an excellent opportunity
while attending this school.
This department of the school is open to all students in the
school as well as to ALL OUTSIDERS WHO WISH '1'0 TAKE MUSIC
ALONE.
Two courses are offered, a general course and a special
- course. The object of the general course is to enable the pupil
to appreciate good music and learn to execute as much of the
same as his period of study will allow. The special course
requiring four ~years of study, one lesson per week, or two years
of study' two lessons per week, and leading to a diploma aims
to prepare the pupil for advanced" study in special schools of
_music or under artist teachers.
Instruction will be given in piano, voice, harmony and
musical history. Choral work will be organized early in
the fall.'
The work of this department being affiliated with the
course of the school is supported by those taking the w<;>rk.

ABOUT THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY OF
"THE CRUCIBLE"
Between June 10 and September 22, 1692, nineteen men and women and two dogs were
hanged for witchcraft in Massachusetts. One man was pressed to death for refusing to
plead to the indiGtment. This information is a matter of historical record. The playwright
offers the following comments about the historical accuracy of "THE CRUCIBLE":
This play is not history in the sense in which the word is used by the academic
historian. Dramatic purposes have sometimes required many characters to be
fused into one; the number of girls involved in the "crying-out" has been reduced;
Abigail's age has been raised; while there were several judges of almost equal authority, I have symbolized them all in Hathorne and Danforth . . . .
The fate of each character is exactly that of his historical model, and there is no
one in the drama who did not play a similar-and in some cases exactly the
same-role in history.
As for the characters of the persons, little is known about most of them excepting what may be surmised from a few letters, the trial record, certain broadsides
written at the time, and references to their conduct in sources of Yarying reliability.
