The teaching of agriculture in the
country schools is receiving attention.
1t is believed that if the children Of
farmers are taught regarding some
things done on farms, and especially
where mistakes are made, they will
have q desire to learn more and will
take more interest in literature rela-
ting to farming. The study of agri-
culture in the schools will not greatly
interfere with other courses and can
be made more interesting if lectures
are given AMI practical demonstrations
made in botany, also showing the tex
ture of soils, and the growing of crops,
etc. 1t is possible that some method
of instruction may be devised that
will induce the young men to take
more interest in farming.

With the beginning of the present
school term the teaching of stenog-
raphy, bookkeeping, typewriting and
other branches usually taught in
business schools has been introduced
in the public schools in many cities.
Chicago is among the number, and
there the innovation is the subject Of
much comment, generally in opposi-
ton. This last development, it is
argued, does not stand on a like foot
ing with manual training. The latter
is not teaching of trades, but Of
the principles of trades; it is a train
ing of the senses and a development
of latent ability. The other, on the
contrary, is the fitting of persons, at
public expense, for well-defined occu-
pations. 1t is a serious blow at priv
ate schools, established to train people
to be stenographers and bookkeepers,
and it is likely to work to the detri-
ment of those now employed in such
capacities by supplying more labor Of
this kind than is needed. AS the
Chicago DIRECTORS say, this departure
in school methods can only be justified
as the first step in the development
of the public-school system into the
fitting of pupils for work in all walks
