Before a gathering of eminent agricultural authorities and outstanding leaders interested in agricultural development, Samuel Vauclain, President of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, officially opened The National Farm School Booth in the Educational Building of the Sesquicentenntial in Philadelphia.

Each display will concentrate on the special activities of The National Farm School which include scientific agriculture, cattle-raising, dairying, horticulture, floriculture, bookkeeping and poultry raising.

Among those present were Ex-Governor Wm. A. Sproul of Pennsylvania Adam Gimbel and Manny Strauss, of the Business Men’s Council of the School; Dr. Joseph R. Wilson, Director of Education and Social Research of the Exposition; Herbert D. Allman; David Burpree, Harry B. Hirsh, Grant Wright, James A.
