“…Agriculture and the teaching of agricultural chemistry have been popular JCE topics, especially in the Journal ’s early years. The first of these, a 1924 committee report from the Division of Chemical Education, argued that general chemistry courses have largely ignored agricultural applications: “[T]he agricultural student should have chemistry where the illustrations are drawn from the great fields of agriculture and biology.” In succeeding years, JCE subscribers frequently encountered additional articles on the education of agricultural students − .…”

“…One admits at the same time the great desirability of enlisting the professional aspiration and zeal of the student in the manner so well described by Gortner (4). The writer very much favors the organization, wherever the size of the group will warrant it, of separate sections for those students of different and definite professional aspirations.…”

The Land-Grant College Survey proposes an experimental study of "the different effects upon subsequent student work of teaching certain sciences in the College of Agriculture and in other basic science divisions.'' Similar queries are voiced or implied in the sections on engineering and on home economics. The problem of the "service" courses is one that is often discussed in public by deans and directors, but seldom by the teachers who have to teach the classes.The problem is not so different in the several land-grant institutions as the authors of the survey seem to imply. It is largely a matter of objectives in education. If the leaders of the technological divisions will clarify their objectives, the task of the chemistry teacher will be much simplified. This will demand serious attention to the guidance, selection, and retention of the students of these divisions. It will also require a realignment of curricula on a functional rather than a subject-matter basis.
