should be a part of this general cul-
ture, I devoted nearly a whole para
graph (of which the editor seems to
have read only the first part) to en-
phasizing. Agriculture, properly
speaking, is however a purely techni-
cal study.
I should be very sorry indeed to
say anything that could be used as
an objection to the teaching of ag-
riculture in the public schools" or
elsewhere; and it is both trying and
amusing to be bounced upon for this
offence when I was only suggesting
that there was a proper, and an inn
proper, manner of going about this
teaching, and that agriculture, as a
study, was subject to the same rules
and limitations as are other studies.
By all means, let us have agricul-
tural education; but let us go about
establishing it with that famous
maxim of Davy Crockett's in u
mind. E. E. MILLER.
Morristown, Tenn.
mr.. Miller's explanation is quite
satisfactory. He is one of our most
thoughtful and most promising cor
respondents, and we trust that our
good-humored criticism of his form
er article will not result in a smaller
number of contributions from his
pen.-Editor.]

NOG Against IS NOEC2 OaIOuua lOeas
Editor Of h Progressive Farmer:
Since the editor of The Progressive
Farmer has seen fit, in the issue of
November II, to "pitch into" me with
his usual vigor, I may perhaps be
pardoned for saying a few words
more on this subject. I, of course,
do not object to his cr~iticizing my
views-my letter invited this-but I
am surprised that he should think ]
was "obiecting" to the teaching of
agriculture in the public schools. I
have spent some time, and expect to
spend much more, studying agricul-
ture myself; and, as I said, believe
in not only the desirability, but the
necessity of such education. I am
convinced, however. that it would be
easy in rural schools to overdo this
subject, and that it belongs to the
higher rather than the primary
grades of the public schools.
The remark that I am a hundred.
or possibly five hundred years ahead
of the times, in saying that the rural
schools should not be made nero
primary schools of agriculture, is not
without some seeming justice. I am
free to admit that I know of no
schools in this section that are in
any such danger; but, and here is the
point I was making, many of the
leaders in this agitation are propos-
ing to do this very thing. For ex
ample. Prof. W. M. Hays, of Mime
sofa, who, In a recent magazine ar
ticle, sets forth a scheme of educa-
ton for country children in which
from the primary to the high school
everything is subordinated to the
teaching of agriculture and related
sciences. almost two-thirds of the
time being devoted to them. This
system is proposed, too, not as one
for special conditions, or certain
students. but as one for the great
body of rural children. I, for one.
do not think we need a system like
that. Nor should the editor think
that l am the only man who believes
that it would be possible to over
stress agricultural studies. Since the
article in question was first pub
lished. I heard Prof. L. II. Bailey.
u foremost exponent of nature
study and AGRICULTURAL education. in
a strong plea in their behalf, take
occasion to utter g warning against
a too early or too excessive specialize
ton in this line. I do not know
whether he was five hundred years
previous" or not.
I must confess I am old-fashioned
enough to believe that the primary
object of all education should be to
develop in the student the perception
of and love for the true and the
beautiful rather than to teach him
how to make money. Not that 7 OBJ
ject to that at all, for no n more
devoutly believes in technical edu-
cation of all kinds than do I; but I

It is difficult. OF course. to arrange a
satisfactory division of authority and

solve that problem than it is to dis

Deaths on Railroad Tracks.

The interstate commerce commission
IS now issuing accident bulletins" tab
ulating from time to time the casualties
from railroad accidents in the United
States. Like other publications Of this
body, these bulletins contain ancient
history when they appear It would
seem that it ought to be possible for the
commission to make public statistics OF
this nature, covering the quarter ending
September so, 1902, earlier than January
20 1903 Nearly four months after this
close Of the quarter, however, the IN
terstate commerce commission informs
the public that during the three months
in question. railroad accidents in the
United States caused the loss of 2e2 lives
and injuries to 2.6l3 persons. These
casualties were caused by train wrecks
The number Of persons killed on the
tracks, by other accidents than wrecks,
was much larger. the total being $40,
with II 1852 persons injured.
These CORY figures are not unusual.
They fall triie short. indeed, Of the
record for the corresponding quarter of
the previous year. A war which took
so many lives would be regarded as d
dreadful conflict which should be
brought to an end as speedily as pos
sible. It ought to be practicable to
make railrOading less costly to human
ity. How many wrecks could have been
avoided by proper care will never be
known.
