The Farmers Son of the 10th Century

He will not be a boy whose educa-
ton consists of the three Rs with just
a smaltering of 'geogfy." Neither will
he be one who cannot read without
stopping to spell the words of four or
six sylables.
This question now confronts us: "ls
Completing the Course Of the Rural
School Sufficient Education for the
Farmer of the Twentieth Century,
If we are to Judge by the progress that
is going on, we think he will find him
self out of sight and entirely untitled
for the duties which he will be expect
ed to perform.
Now, my farmer friend, it will not
doto only send your son to school
when there is nothing he can do on
the farm. He needs an education that
will give him knowledge and ability
to keep abreast of the times; that he
will not have to be told who the candi-
date for president is. He will know
who he is and the party for which he
stands and the other party platform
too. And when some high flown city
politician steps up and says, Here,
never mind your party. Here's five,
vote for u.s." He will answer, mo,
thank you" We hope to see the time
when convention is called to see a
dozen of the most prominent men
farmers. We want to see the farmers
sons grow up with the education and
refinement of the college man, the
hustle Of the live business man and
the vim and vigor of the sturdy farm
ef. 1---1.~
But how is this to be done? About
90 per cent. of the children of the dis
trict school never go to any higher.
Hence our rural schools should be at
the best. They are not good enough:
we should make them better.
Yes, farming has come to be a pro-
fession. The idea WAS anyone can
farm, but people are coming to see that
it takes quite a SOMEBODY to make
farming a success. Some one has apt
ly said, "School gives knowledge but
God gives common sense"
Today we find the farmer no Rip
Van Wrinkle and farming one of the
most independent occupations, and
judging from the past it will become
more so. Some smarty said, "The
farmer gives his pigs what he cannot
sell, and what the pigs will not eat he
eats himself" But don't you believe
it for minute. l.. 4.

IN BLEEDING KANSAS.
Governor Opposes Appropriation For
Flood Sufferers.

Topeka, Kan, June Ex-Governor
Bailey said tonight that his message to
the legislature would not exceed I 200
words. He declined to give an itima-
ton about its contents. The special ses-
sion viii convene tomorrow.
The governor is using his influence
against the plan to appropriate S500,O01,
or any other sum. to give to flood SUI
ferers- He believes an appropriation is
not necessary and it is his opinion that
an appropriation would result in harm
rather than good.
PrO-rated among the sufferers, the
money appropriated would not go far
a few dollars to each family. No fam
ilv would receive as much as it ought
to have TO relieve its distress and all
would be dissatisfied. That is the gov
errors notion of the matter. He would
have the legislature pass the necessary
acts to enable counties and cities to re-
build bridges, to relieve their people who
are in distress and to strengthen the
banks of rivers and creeks, and then ad-
jOurn.
Senator F.. D. Smith has prepared a
bill legalizing the loan of state money
to flood sufferers. to be paid back in
four years without interest.
