Guest speaker at the meet- ing was Doug Jamieson, principal of Centralia College who talked about programs and activities at the school at Huron Park. He said during the years the college has enjoyed tre- mendous support from Huron County and neigh- bouring counties. "Centralia College does not have a college farm as such, but we've got along reasonably well up to this point," he said. "We've done it .with the support of local farmers. In 1969 we contacted local farmers to see if we could have a group of students go out to the farm on a regular basis. He said the students get involved keeping record books on that operation, the breeding programs, the feed- ing programs and the differ- ent aspects of what makes that farm run. "We have continued to run it in basically the same format since 1969. We think there is no better way to teach practical management of farms than to have our students out watching," he said. "We like our students to be exposed to and involved with the real world as much as possible when studying for their diploma," he said. He said they also believe it was important to have practi- cal people providing practical instruction, such as those in agri-business, bankers, law- yers and farm equipment dealers. "Our philosophy is people helping people, the older generation passing along its knowledge to the upcoming generation. "We hope that we can give something of value back to the community. Our biggest return to the community is graduates of our program: "Another way of trying to help the community is through our continuing edu- cation program, so farmers can improve their manage- ment skills. He mentioned there were two or three new develop- ments, one of which is for the BILD program which will provide a $50,000 or $60,000 allotment over the next four years to Centralia College to acquire high technology equipthent. The principal said by next fall the school hopes to have courses in place so that all of their students will receive training on micro-computers. A Post Classified will pay you dividends.
