= N H NH States make their living by farm
~ Hi ing. This is the most pleasing fact
3JAOB cleaned from the numerous and
NIyNS massy volumes Of statistics com
&StST piled by the census bureau. Half
Of the population is born amid salutary surround
ings and acquires by vigorous exercise, by contact
with the soil, by breathing pure air and eating plain
and wholesome food the health and strength which
makes this nation one of the strongest and energetic
cn the earth.
The predominance Of farming as a vocation Of life
in this country has impressed Secretary Wilson
with the necessity for agricultural schools and
colleges The work which the secretary is doing in
bis department is Of high value and there should
be no encouragement nor disparagement offered to
his efforts for Improvement of the condition and the
education of the farmers of the land. But the ques-
tiOn nevertheless might reasonably be asked would
additional schools be efcacOus for the purpose he
plansi There are some capacities which can be
developed only by experience The ordinary far
meT would consider it a ridiculous waste of time to
send his to school to learn how to milk the cow
slOp the hogs or to plough, plant and harvest his
crops. Yet these are part of the subjects which
many colleges aim to teach.
There seems at the present time to be a tendency
to OverdO education in many directions. There are
schools to teach women how to become wives and
to deport themselves in that blessed sphere how to
raise babies, how to retain the affection of husbands
how to cook and to do a thousand other natural
things But it is very doubtful II mankind will
ever be attracted towards the graduates Of these in
stitutiOns because of the diplomas they hold.
So also it is probable that lad with two or four
years actual experience is better able t.
take care of farm than one who has acquired his
knowledge wholly by study in agricultural school
for the same length of time.
We do not mean that the institutions which sec
retaTy Wilson has in mind are useless. Far from it,
for in certain matters they Of utmost importance
and value. The experimentation, the compilation
of data, the comparative study Of the different
methods of agriculture; the examination Of soils
and finding their adaptability to certain kinds O
plants, all from a branch of learning which has
been brought to high degree of development in
these institutions. But all that practical farmer
cares about this matter is the results obtained. i
be himself has natural adapttude for his vocation
and has learned from parental instruction and per
sona experience, he probably will get most of the
benefits to be had from farming without spending
much time at school. The instruction would be
more attractive and valuable if the method already
in vogue should be further improved by extending
the system OF teaching by correspondence, sending
out bulletins and holding more elaborate lecture
c purses during the winter months.
