Character Development Was
Physically prepared and assisted by their teachers, Agriculture School students worked toward achieving the second component of their education--character development. This they accomplished, as did members of Southwestern Oklahoma society in general, through belief in Christianity and adherence to its teachings. Architects included a chapel in the school's main building, faculty provided on-campus church services, and no graduation was complete without a baccalaureate service led by a local minister. Students participated regularly in formal church services and informal extracurricular religion-related activities. During the School's final year, community members provided automobile rides to students who wished to attend Christian churches in town. [1] 1.
