HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT. The Dolliver, Davis, and Page hills. — The passage of the Morrill Act and subsequent acts giving Federal aid to the agricultural col- leges has been made a precedent for repeated attempts to extend Federal aid for agricultural education. The first of these attempts to aid the secondary schools was in 1910, when Senator James P. Dolliver, of Iowa, introduced a bill providing Federal grants " to cooperate with the States in encouraging instruction in agriculture, the trad...es and industries, and home economics in secondarj^ schools; in preparing teachers for those vocational schools in State normal schools." About this time there was a strong movement on foot to secure Federal aid for extension departments in all of the land- grant colleges. This movement was in accordance with recommen- dations made in 1909 by a committee of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. The recommenda- tions of these committees later, in 1910, were incorporated into the Dolliver bill, and furnished a starting point for the bill passed in 1914 as the Smith-Lever Act.
