Who that has noted the tide Of immi-
grants which pours into the United
States every year has not asked him
self how the stream becomes merged
In the current of national life; how
these strangers are transmitted into
American citizens? Without doubt
the most important agency is the pub
lie schools. A college settlement which
has been studying the matter closely
has brought to light some most inter-
esting and encouraging details IA

imaginary Declaration of Independ-

All this may seem an artificial means
of stimulating loyalty to new father

American birth are playing Indian and

they will become savages or bandits.

which these names set up for them are
provocations to the best citizenship.

doing an important service. Our COM

& Six million two hundred thousand
farmers bulletins on hundred and
forty different subjects were printed
for the Department Of Agriculture dur
ing the past fiscal year. AS there are
about six million farmers, exclusive Of
agricultural laborers, in the United
States, this Is one pamphlet for each
one. If any farmer did not get his
copy, 1t was because he did not apply
for 1t, for they are nearly all turned
over to the members of Congress for
free distribution. There is hardly a
subject In which farmers are inter-
ested that Is not discussed In some one
Of the various bulletins. Information
Is, contained In them about the feed
ing of farm animals, hog-cholera, how
to kill weeds, the care and feeding Of
chickens, butter-making and the care
Of milk, the vegetable garden, good
roads, breeds Of dairy cattle, bread
making, how to raise apples, rice-cul-
ture, tomato-growing, sugar as food,
insects affecting tobacco, cotton and
grapes; diseases of potatoes and ap-
pies, how to detect oleomargarine and
renovated butter, tree-planting ON ru-
raj school grounds, the Angora goat,
and scores Of other things. 1t would
be difficult to estimate with any de-
gree Of accuracy the financial benefit
which has accrued to the farmers from
the perusal of these bulletins. Such
men as believe they must be continual
ly studying to keep abreast of the
times and to understand the possibili-
ties Of their business have been the
most diligent readers of the publica-
tons Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. 1t is the benefit which these
men have derived that justifies the
continued expenditure Of money by the
government for free education of this
kind, an education almost as necessary
to national prosperity as that provided
for the children in the public schools.
