Abstract
NEARLY two years ago the Minister of Agriculture appointed a committee under the chairmanship of Lord Justice Luxmoore to examine the present system of agricultural education in England and Wales and to make recommendations for improving and developing it after the War. Both the need and the magnitude of the task are evident from that Committee's report, which has now been issued*. The Committee interpreted 'agricultural education' as covering the bringing up, training and instruction of adolescents and adults in the sciences applicable to agriculture ; the art and practice of the various branches of animal and crop husbandry, including horticulture ; the provision of advisory services and the organization of general instructional work by means of lectures and demonstrations.
