EDUCATION THAT EDU.
GATES.

The improvement of our country
schools is the four dation stone of
agricultural progress, and other
foundation no man can lay. This
is not theory, bnt a fact proved by
statistics. Wherever the percent-
age of illiteracy is highest, there
are the profits of farming smallest.
And for reason not far to seek
there has least progress been made
in the Introduction of improved
and scientific methods
We may live out our lives
dreaming dreams about the good
work tl,at might be done by our
agricultural cuitges, experiment
stations, and farm papers, says the
Progressive Farmer, but all this
dreaming is snare and a delusion
unless We realize that before the
college or paper will be appreciated
must come the public school, teach
ing the people to read and under
stand, just as surely as the founda~
ton stone must be laid before the
rest OF the structure is worth con-
sidering
We have lately made progress in
the matter of public education, but
much work vet remains to be done.
And since sucD large percent. Of
these pupils of the country schools
are to take up farming MS a life
work, it is not unreasonable to de-
mand that in them the principles
of agriculture be taught. We dc
teach these boys much about bank
ing, selling aud buying bonds, dis
counting, foreign exchange, etc
things which not one in ten has
anything to do with in after lite
Why then should it be thought
strange when one dares Suggest
that it would be better to teach
them something of plant growth
animal life, plant and animal feed
ing, etc, subjects that would be
equally useful in training the mine
and would be of continual bene'
fit to the larger part of them il
their life work.
Let the farm boy learn littl,
less of foreign exchange and Greel
history, il need be, but teach hin
at the outset that farming is "no
drudgery but am intellectual pur
suit" that like other callings pay
handsome returns f,r intelligent
scientific care and management,

forget that we gave Hon. Jesse M.

for the two men were identical and
the same. We always reserve the
expressions of our editorial depart
ment, which, when not crowded
out by an overflow OF news matter
may always be found on columns
one and two of second page, for
ourselves. and these opinions cam
not be bought. The rest Of the pa
per is open to legitimate advertis'
ing, that we may live.

GAS for my being in contempt of
the senate, which I presume is the
excuse for this insult at the hands of
the President-that 1 deny. I have
been guilty of a breach of the rules
and the privileges of the Senate.
The Senate was not sitting as Court,
but as a legislative assembly. It has
the right to expel me, if it sees fit,
and I am ready to abide its judgment
and action. It has the right to ar
rest me and to hold me in custody
until 1t makes disposition of my case,
but it has no right to gag me, and
the President has no right to Judge
me guilty of conduct unbecoming a
gentleman, unless he bellies all his
antecedents, which lead one to be-
lieve that he would have done just
as I did under the circumstances.
As to which of us is the gentleman
in this matter, in view of the un-
sought invitation to dinner at the
White House and it's indecent with
drawal, I am willing to abide by the
Judgment of all brave and self-re-
specting men,"
