1t hangs ia doubt each two years whether Legls-
lature Of farmers will permit It to live or aban-
don it TO die. Established primarily as school
for instruc ion as q reading of the laws and dis
cussions will show, it is looked upon with dis.
favor, because il fails to do as rapidly as some
farmers have hoped some other things besides
| educating young men to be farmers.
Out of sch DOL like this will any graduate re-
turn to the farms2 Does not manual labor seem
ignoble to one whose early youth is given to the
| acquiring of knowledge and the discipline of
mlnd2 Will not the habit of hard and daily
manual labor be over difficult to attain after sew
eral years of its disuse2
From almost every quarter the answer comes
that IL is OF no use TO try. The prediction flew
abroad that not one grs1uste in one hundred
would ever work. Shortly the prediction took
the form OF q fact, and the newspapers reported
that as . fact which was only what every body pre-
dicted. You may read it now in the papers and
journals from one end OF the country to the
other. TIE graduates they all say are not farm
ere. The schools are all failures.
I am sorry that farmers have joined this cry
without waiting to lee. For, look you, how dark
is the picture2 Had it come from examination OF
facts we might say the schools have been wrongly
managed, but when IL comes from an expec alton
and 10 held to in spite Of facts, it shows what the
one and the business OF the other Is in some way
nconsisf ent with high education.
This is the way the case was put two years ago
in communication OF an educated man to "a
per of this State. He says the college s failure
because nineteen out Of every twenty who grad
uate there never follow agricultural pursuits. He
assigns reason: And why? Because when .
man's brain 10 educated M TO point where 1t
can provide for the wants Of the body without
nauscu aid, it will do IL every time, in spite Of
all the sophistry and poetry wnich can be thrown
around the lite Of 1 IL OF farmer.
This ID gloomv reason thst forever conanes
farming - business to I'd llliterAse ciass. Its
d reason that debars progress forever. and puts =
defiance forever widening between fsrnars and
others.
