We have two problems in relation to this subject. One is how to teach the village youth the agricultural techniques after their graduation from high school. The other is that of employment of such youth. As regards the first problem, agricultural high school students should be provided with special advanced course or institutions even after graduation, because technical education at high school which provides only elementary knowledge and techniques, is not sufficient to manage agricultural work for themselves. To master the techniques that raise the production, they must learn many production techniques for another some years. Nowadays, the graduates learn them through Four-H clubs, prefectural technical training centers development centers, agricultural research institutions, and through the observation of advanced areas. But these agencies are not in a position to satisfy the needs of the earnest young farmers. If this problem is to be solved, agencies exclusively designed for the technical training should be provided. And if we want to train excellent farmers, we must retain excellent young men in a village. For this purpose, it should be hurried to make attractive the environment of homes, schools, and villages. As regards the second problem, we suspect that those who enter employment after graduation are less dilligent than those who would become independent farmers. Why are there people who leave their farmhouse and get employment? Such students usually are not eldest sons, and it is inevitable for them to enter employment due to narrow arable land. Such situations are satisfying not only to them but also to their employers. The problem lies in this fact. If such situations are not improved, village community may be destroyed and agricultural high school education may become meaningless. But on the other hand, it should be noted that graduates of independent farmers course are employed for their seriousness, their all-round characters and their spirits. The knowledge and techniques that they have learned at school are ignored. What is the meaning of independent farmers course, then? We must solve this problem as follows: To wipe off the image of the old agricultural high school, to provide only human nature training, and to give the technical education after eighteen years old. The senior high school must have one course-a human nature course, and should not have many courses for employment.
