Excerpt from Camp Liberty, Vol. 7: A Farm Cadet Experiment
A year ago in our folder, "Farm Labor and Boy Camps," we summarized the results of a previous inquiry concerning the function of the labor camp in relation to the enlistment of city boys for work on farms. The recommendations made then were of necessity a priori. They represented a consensus of opinion on the part of leaders experienced in questions of agriculture, of labor and of education. They were put forth in the hope that they might prove of value to those about to undertake the pioneer experiments in this field.
To-day the nation has back of it a season of these pioneer experiments and they should furnish a degree of guidance for future effort of the kind. To contribute in some measure to the general fund of experience we publish the following report of Camp Liberty, a farm labor experiment in which twenty-five young men of New York City, the farmers of a New York State community and the Bureau of Educational Experiments co-operated in the summer of 1917.
