RURAL EDUCATION

Rural education and schools of agri.
culture, in general and special lines,
are subjects receiving much newspaper
attention at the present time. We are
not, however, pioneers in tins matter.
For great many years European
countries have studied and expert
mented with the problem i'm n practi-
cal way. Twenty years ago the French
government made an organized effort
to grapple with the question of rural
education throughout the republic,
says Guy E. Mitchell in Farmers
Guide. An official commission of in
quiry was appointed, one result of
which was the establishment of chair
of agriculture in every department for
the purpose of training village school
teachers to teach practical agriculture
and horticulture. Later, agricultural
instruction was introduced into all the
primary schools. The results of this
cannot be but far reaching. though it
is too soon and the departure from the
old order lie too radical to look for the
best methods of instruction and conse.
quent results. But the main point il
that agriculture has been made fea-
ture of the child's education, land many
OF the teachers have made great pro-
gress. Most of the village schools have

case that the school garden is the best
in the village. Much stimulus is given
to the teachers of these rural schools by
the prize of money, medals and books
offered every year by the government
and the various agricultural societies.
In Belgium the minister of public
instruction prepares uniform pro-
gram for agricultural teaching for the
kingdom. All the country schools have
u plot Of ground of not less than an
acre each, which is used for expert
mental cultivation. The first German
school garden was founded i'm Prussia
in 1881; they are increasing very rapid
ly i'm number. They are not assisted
by the state, but are aided by the local
school boards.
But it Is i'm Sweden that agriculture
is taught generally and the Swedes are
renowned as good farmers aud garden.
ers. In 1876 Sweden had 1902 school
gardens which by 1881 had increased
to about 1000. Nearly all the public
schools have gardens connected with
their course of instruction.

and careful men. may he misinterpre'
ted by one who has no adequate COM
prehens,o of the significance OF such
terms, for instance, as protein, carbo-
hydrates, fats, etc. The facts and prfn-
ciples of science underlie much that
the tiller of the soil is called upon to
consider. This enlargement of knowl-
edge and methods will be available for
use in proportion as it is cOmplemented
by an enlarged understanding on the
part of the farmer. The experiment
station and the farmers institute
bureau are beneficent institutions, but
they are of limited value to those mem
beers of our rural communities who
have so little knowledge of first prin.
ciples as to be unable to read and listen
with an intelligent appreciation of the
facts as presented in bulletins and from
the platform.

that my chances were excellent, as there

not many spots in this fine state that can
surpass East Sound, San Juan county.
when it comes to gardening or RAISING
vegetables. Well, Mr.. Editor, / have
secured that $50. True it was not alto
gether the fine soil and climate that
gained the prize, for claim to know peas

can testify to that fact, having used his

This prize was striven for by thousands
OF persons from nearly every state In the
