died the previous afternoon. He
was getting over an attack of

gone ere this is in print, but will the
rankings of the defeated be gone,

rackets, and as the Office of assess, T
has several aspirants, it is more
than likely there will be something

A few years ago New Jersey en-

year or two later law was enacted

(for the use Of the public an annual
stipend of 800. 1 see by the town
statement that a man was paid 6 or

Is not that radically wrong?

Today is Town Meeting day and
to some it is as important as the

:Another Theory for the
Low Prices Of Tobacco.
the News and Observer
49, ~ ~ A$%> <<E<%<<<<

A little while ago some of the buyers
for the tobacco trust gave out the story
that the low prices in the East were due
to the poor quality of tobacco grown III
that section. That was published in or
der to induce the tobacco growers from
Rockingham to Wake not to join in the
fight on the tobacco trust. Now that to-
bacco has been brought to the Oxford
market-the earliest home of the bright
tobacco-the price is no better than at
Wilson and Greenville or any other East
ern market. It shows that the object Of
trust agents was to mislead The truth
is that Beaufort county grows splendid
tobacco-and the trust buyers were loud
in praisng it last year The low prices
prevail everywhere because the trust SO
DEGREES. Wherever there has been any IN
crease in the price of tobacco it has been
due to the fact that individual business
men have united to buy tobacco to hold,
believing that the price must be higher
next year.
We think it but just to print the above
statement as preface to the following
communications:

THE COMMON SCHOOL EDUCATION OF
TODAY.

President Wilson. Of Princeton, in his
inaugural address, SAID: the college is
not for the majority who carry forward
the common labor OF the world, nor
even Tor those who work II skilled
haldlcrafts which multiply the con-
Fellence, and the luxuries of the COM
p-ez modern life. The college is for the
minority And as the co.leges have
bten managed in the past they have
Dten Tor the favored minority. But as
Prot. Ramsey, OF the University of Glas-
gov, ~aId recently, in an address on
efficiency IN education, if this IS the
Tact, the secondary schools that are pre-
laTlug boys for college are also work
ing for the minority. But with the IN
"uguratIOn of real colleges for the peo-
Pie there has come a field for the sec
ouaary schools, field as yet little occu-
ped, that Of preparing the majrlty tor

THE WORK OF THE AGRICULTURAL.
COLLEGES.
"A college of agriculture can no long
er contne itself to the teaching of mere
technical agriculture. 1t must stand for
the rural school. the farm home and
every enterprise that makes farm life
attractive and profitable. The col
lege of agriculture stands for the coun-
try and the persons who would live in
the country. Therefore, an
extension work IS really necessary to a
modern agricultural educational enter
prise. Prof. l.. H. Bailey, in Rural
New Yorker.
To one who has watched the first
feeble efforts in the teachings of agricul-
ture IN the colleges established for that
purpose soon after the war the growth
of agricultural education is really mar
velous There are still some States
which have as yet failed to fully wake
up to the Importance of agricultural
education, and especially to a realiza-
ton OF the great work for the agricul-
tural colleges and Experiment Stations
outside OF their own grounds and build
lngs. In States where the men IN the
| college are the men for the times there
| has come the comprehension Of the fact
| that the work of the college cannot be
Ccnhned to the body of students assem-
| bled within its walls, but must be car
| RED out to the men on the farms. The
! Farmers Institutes form not only a
means for helping the farmers in their
work, but for awakening them to the
| Importance of education in technica
! agriculture for their sons When intel
| ligent men get to thinking over what
! they hear at the Institutes, and are
| reused up to better efforts in their OWL
! behalf, they soon begin to think that
! there Is something yet to be learned
and that their sons who are 10 follow
them on the farm should be better pre-
pared for their life work. In the winter
! short courses and summer schools fol
teachers of the rural schools the col
ltges are getting closer to the peop.e
who live on the farms. In one college
we know OF over 800 teachers in the
public schools attended lne summer
school this summer. These Will carry
back with them some new ideas III re
gard to nature that is all around then
in the country and the pupils there vii
be getting new ideas about the thing:
they are daily in contact with on the
farm. Fitering through these teacher:
the college of agriculture Will bring
about a realization of the fact that edu
cation in agriculture must begin in tht
rural schools, that a love for nature
must there be instilled into the boyi
and girls who are to occupy the farms
| in the future.
