TIE GRANGE AN EDUCATOR.

J. Munger, Lecturer of Agricola Grange
No. 8, of Warren county, Ohio, makes the
following very sensible remarks in a recent
lecture upon the above named topic:
Let us always bear in mind that the grange
is to become just what we shall choose 10
make it. Either it is a heightened school of
morals and a perpetual fountain of knowl-
edge, wherein improvement and refinement
shall so hand in hand with social and intel
lectual culture; moral and physical devel-
opment, for herein all these must receive
attention and the whole man must be edu-
Gated, or it must become a mockery in the
name OF progress.
But more than this, we stop not here !!
Within the folds of the grange we must
gather the youth of the land. Here we must
shield and protect them from the snares and
temptations to which they are exposed
wooing and winning them from the follies
and vices of the world, by providing for
them innocent amusements, and furnishing
them VITA rational enjoyment, intoxicating
into their minds and instilling into their
young hearts the enrolling principles of
virtue; not the least Of which is the love of
the heaven-ordained and memorable law Of
labor; the necessity and the duty of indus
try; the glory and reward Of plain, down
right, blunt. honest, hard work-work both
of body and mind-work, il the library and
in the field, in the Office and in the shop, at
the desk and at the bench; obeying the in
junction, !" Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with all thy might" work of the
head, hand and heart, whereby we shall be
kept from retrograding toward ignorance,
be saved from besotting superstitions, and
be prevented from degrading into wretch
edness and barbarism.
The frequent occurrence of fraud, theft,
robbery, forgery, burglary and murder, the
commission of all this black catalogue of
crimes for the purpose of eyading the great

BARTON, ARK, March 25, 1876.

M. ". Haszewood, Esq, Sec'y. State Grange
of Va. Dear Sir and Bro: Yours of the
18th inst. is received. Upon the question
appealed from the decision Of the Worthy
Master of your State Grange my ruling is: :
That the lawyer is eligible to our Order, if
his leading business is agricultural, and he
has no interest in conflict with our purposes.
The Grange passes upon the facts in each
case at the time of balloting for the candi-
date; agriculture being the leading pursuit
of an applicant for membership, it would
be unsafe to say that being at the same time
engaged in any other business would, per Sc,
be a disqualification. The fact of accord or
antagonism to our Order must be passed up
on by the Grange in leach case. A member
who knowingly signs the application Of a
person disqualified for membership, thereby
violates his obligation and invites the pen
atty.
Some subordinate Oranges make provis-
ion for arbitration in the Oranges to avoid
litigation; some have no such provision.
In short, eligibility is a question Of fact in
each particular case and not Of law. The
Grange is the jury. The law for their
guide is expressed in Art. v, of the consti-
tuition, constructed by the National Grange
in section 1873 of decisions of National Grange
as collected and numbered in the Patrons
Pocket Companion. Fraternally yours,
JNO. I. JONES,
Master National Grange"

VALUE OF THE GRANGE TO FARMERS.

Evidence is constantly accumulating,
showing not only the value of the grange as
a social organization, but as an educator
also. When we consider. from either stand
point, the progress that has already been
made, we are not only surprised, but graft
fed to witness the increasing interest which
is being taken in agricultural pursuits.
The founders of the order early recognize
ed the principle that it is not sufficient that
the farmer should simply know how to read
and write, but he should understand what
he reads and profit by it. 1t was ON this
ground that the founders of the order made
the educational feature the leading one-for
it is the only foundation upon which super
structure of this kind could be reared, that
would be of permanent and lasting benefit
to mankind. 1t is the principle of universal
education of the people that must underlie
all healthy progress.
The adoption of the educational feature of
the grange, in connection with its social ten
denotes, has infused new energy into farm
life, and has awakened agriculturists to the
importance of putting forth every effort in
their power to abridge labor and render it
mere productive than heretofore. Educa-
ton and progress go hand in hand-the one
is a fitting supplement to the other. The
order OF Patrons Of Husbandry has done
more since the date of it's organization dec.
18th, 1861 to awaken an interest in farming.
as a profession, and in promoting the cause
of educational progress, than any organiza-
ton for the benefit of farmers heretofore es-
tablished. The Pacific Rural Press, in refer
ring to the value Of the grange when viewed
from an educational standpoint, says:
The grange is worth to-day almost as
much to the ag~riculturists of the country as
the common school. 1t is, in fact, the only
primary school we have which is devoted to
agricultural instruction it is there that our
sons and daughters are first taught the i'm
portance of agricultural instruction; it is
there that they are taught to love and take
pride in their calling; it is there that they
are made to see possibilities in agricultural
industry which past generationsne never dream
ed of-and it is from thence that an influ-
ence is to go ont which in a few years will
ill up our agricultural colleges with young
men, and young ladies, to; with a class of
students that will not turn their backs on
the farm, or seek other responsibility or util-
ity.-Colnaan's Rural World.

LET POLITICS ALONE.

How was it before the Order was estab-
lished? The farmers had no organization.
They could not get together ever in a neigh
borhood to consider public matters. If they
assembled at the county towns, it was at
the instance of scheming politicians who
had some selfish object in view. Their
power to select candidates for office or shape
legislation was about as great as that enjoy
ed by the negroes in the loyal leagues. The
action OF the county convention was suppos
ed to express the sentiments of the people.
when in fact it expressed the will of a clique
and generally the interests of the clique con-
ilicted with those of the people. This state
of affairs naturally made the farmers diff
dent of their capacity to control their public
affairs; and While it dispirited them, it en-
couraged the caliques to greater assump-
ton OF power. In business affairs, the weak
ness Of the farmers was even more apparent.
They operated separately, the business men
of every class moved against them, as it
were in q solid body.-Dirigo Rural.
