Introduction The original book from which this edition is taken was published by Lackham College of Agriculture in 1984 and is held in the Library at Lackham. This online edition has been made possible by the very kind permission of the Thomas family and the College.. JO Thomas was intimately involved in Education in Wiltshire either side of the Second World War and was a passionate educator. This edition is as true to the original as possible and, apart from correcting the (very occasional) typo, the text has been transcribed word for word. The original page length has not been retained and so the original Contents page has not been included as it would be inaccurate and confusing. The new contents page includes hyperlinks to allow access directly to the part of the document referred to. Ctrl + Clicking on any of the blue underlined titles will move to the section concerned, please note that the chapter starts at the chapter title, not the first sub section below it. So that it is possible to return to the Contents page easily hyperlinks (indicated by a small blue [i] ) are placed at the end of each section. It is hoped that, although necessarily not present in the original, these will not detract from the experience. Lackham still holds historically important photographic archives of the College from its very start. I would like to record my thanks to Ian Revil, Director of Curriculum Land Based and Service Industries, Wiltshire College, for permission to use images from this collection. Throughout the text there are hyperlinks to relevant images, clicking on the [*] hyperlink below the image will return you to the departure point in the text. To return to the Illustrations menu use the [p] link beneath each picture instead of the [*] The few external links will open in a new window, to return simply close that window. The early history of the College is not widely known, and the publication of this book, the 1957 HMI report and early photographs, on the College website, is an attempt to make this important period more accessible. If you have any further information on anything in the book please do get in touch with the College or myself Tony Pratt Hon.
