Mr.. Henry Wallace was called on and
was greeted with applause. He said
his father had told him that if he did
not work with his brain it did not make
much difference whether he worked
with his hands or not A man might
succeed by main strength and awk-
wardness. The main thing; is to know
how to do the right thing at the right
time and H. the right place. AS an in
stance he said many farmers were los
ing money because they did not know
how and what to feed their horses.
The greatest drawback to a college
education tor the farm boy is that it
tends to make him feel above farm
work. He spoke of the good work of
the agricultural college, and told how
Secretary Wilson had carved his way to
success. Mr.. Wallace recommended
the study of AngloSaXon as better
than Greek or LatinE
Chairman Davie then called upon
Governor Shaw The Governor was
enthusiastically received lie began
by saying that as he was to spesk in
the evening he thought best not to

interrupted saying that many who
would like to hear him could not re-
main, for the evening, thereupon the
Governor spoke of the question uuder
discussion. He said it was bestt send
the boy away to school for at least a

jects Of education is TO learn to hold
yourself down to business. to discipline
| your mind. A man can be over edu-
Gated and the problem of where and
when to stop is an individual one con
corning which no general rule can be
laid down.
Some fine selections were rendered
/ by the male quartette and were cheer
ed to the echo. Mr.. j. G.. Schumacher
was not present and his paper and the
discussion were passed over. 1t was
announced that a travelling concert
company would give some selections
while waiting, Mr.. III. S. Green rose tt
remark that some farmers worked toe
much. They worked so hard and sucf
long hours that they had no time tt
think about their work. Mr.. S. j
