ON NEEDS OF THE FARMERS.
Some Knowledge that Shall Bear
More Directly Upon His Future
Life and Work.

Although the farm keeps the Eal-
ance of trade in the nations favor,
furnishes two-thirds of our exports,
contributes to our manufacturing sn-
premacy by providing cheap food for
our mechanics, comparatively little
has been done toward educating the
farmer for his work. To be sure, the
United States has done more for him
than any other country. In 1862,
congress endowed agricultural col
leges to teach the sciences relating to
agriculture. In 1867, experiment sta
tiOns were provided for where re-
search might be made into the opera
tions of nature.
But considering that Americans pay
more money for public education
than any other people on earth, a
comparatively small proportion of the
sum is devoted to stimulating and aid
ing that half of our population who
cultivate the soil. The tendency of
primary education has been to lead
the country youth away from the
farm instead of helping him in the
study of those sciences relating to
production. 1t would be polite and
patriotic to incorporate into the farm
youths education some knowledge
that shall bear more directly upon his
future life and work.-James Wilson,
Sec. of Agriculture, in the Youths
Companion.

SOUTHERN
EDUCATION
SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION.
Increased Interest Aroused in One
Case that Fully Justified the
Necessary Outlay.

A conference of the county school
commissioners of Georgia, held at
Athens in September last devoted
much attention to the subject of
school consolidation and transporta-
ton of pupils. In the course of this
discussion the superintendent of
Greene county stated that, in his coun.
ty, three schools had been consolidated
with great success. Wagon frames
and horses were purchased by the
county, the contract was made for
the transportation of children at five
cents per head per day. Previous to
consolidation the cost of maintaining
the schools was 171s cents per pupil
per day. The cost now, including that
of carrying the children, is 1919 cents
per day. This testimony was followed
by statement of superintendent
Rogers, of Washington county, giving
the history of a school which four
years ago had twenty pupils and paid
the teacher a salary of $50 a month,
and to-day has one hundred pupils
with one teacher at 800 a month, a
second at $40, and a third at $50, the
school being carefully graded. Twen-
ty-six of these pupils are transport
ed, at cost to the county of SIS per
term for each pupil. All this was
brought about by abolishing two lit
tie schools and transporting the pu-
pills who could not, otherwise, reach
the school house. The increased in
terest that this school has aroused
has caused the people willingly to
raise the money that it takes to main-
tain well graded school.-W. B.
Shaw in Review of Reviews.

when the People Arc Interested.

From all those truly interested in the
advancement of education in the SOUTH
whether teachers, trustees, or other
cities, comes the cry for more money
for the schools. There is and always
has been, always will be, on general
principles, opposition to increased
taxation, for the schools or for any
thing else except for something in
which the people are thoroughly and
enthusiastically interested. South
Carolina spent more money in taxes
as did also many other states-in two
years for the Spanish-American war
than she has spent altogether, in four
years since the breaking out of that
war, for her public schools; spent it
with far less protest, because her peO-
pie were thoroughly and enthusiastic
ally interested in the subject of free
ing Cuba. When these same people
are similarly interested in the subject
of freeing their own state from ig-
norance, from intellectual torpor, and
from consequent poverty and degra-
dation, then we shall find less protest
at every suggestion of an increase in
taxation for schools.-S. G. Educa-
tiOnal.

THE BOY TURNED OUT.
His Case, Was Not Easily
Forgotten.

He was a boy of u who was at the ZOO
with his father to see the sights, and as
they stood before the cage occupied by
the chimpanzee the boy inquired:
Father, do them things like boys?
"Mebbe they do, my son." replied the
father; "but | guess wouldn't git too
near"
''But that one wants to shake hands"
eyes, he pears to; but 1 wouldn't
shake
Don't you think he wants to be
friends?"
''Mebbe so, but you kin jest wink at
him to let him know how you feel
That didn't exactly satisfy the boy, how
ever. The "chim'' insisted on reaching
out his black paw for friendly grip, and
while the fathers back was turned the
lad extended his hand, says the Boston
Globe.
Next instant his bowls caused a rush
of the crowd to see what was the matter,
and as he held up finger which was bitten
to the bone and danced about, the father
produced a handkerchief to tie it up and
explained to the people:
He's my son Claudius, and he's great
hand to find out things. He's just found
out that them critters hev teeth, and if he
ever gifts over this, he won't never want to
shake hands with no more monkeys

The school as the Social Center.

That is the best school which most
nearly meets the condition in the
community where it is located. That
school most nearly meets the condi-
tions when it is a great intellectual,
moral, and social magnet, by it's ire
sistible force drawing all young life
into it, and through its moving pow
er over young life, modifying and up
lifting the life of the older ones
"And /, if | be lifted up, will draw all
men unto me-" said the great teacher.
And the school, if it be lifted up, will
draw all the young life of the COM
munity to it. And when the young
life is touched, the school arouses the
parents and they reinforce the work
of the schools, and thus there is a
knitting together, a back and forth
interest that forms a mesh-work or
web with the school at the center lift
ing up. K. Stableton in School and
