Why Do They leave the Farmp

A problem that is now before the
college presidents and deans of agri-
culture colleges Is found in this ques-
ton: Why do farmer boys who are
able to enter a College or University
choose law, medicine, engineering or
teaching as a profession instead of pre-
pairing for successful lives upon the
farmP Nearly FIVE hundred Of the stu
dents now attending the University of
Missouri either now live on the farm or
have spent considerable OF their life
on the farm. Out of these about one
hundred and sixty are taking agrIcul.
ture. Why all this movement away
from the iarmP Is our agricultural
education to blame? Or does u lower
schools set up false ideals of life's
callihgP Dean Mumford of the Mis-
souri, Of agriculture when asked for an
explanation SAID, II don't understand
the reason for it. Boys seem to be DOM
mated by other ideals. l don't know
why" A possible explanation was
suggested by DR.. A. Ross Hill, Dean
of the Missouri Teachers College. He
thinks u present high school courses
are responsible tor this movement.
He thinks the remedy is to have agri-
culture taught in these schools. ''Four
years spent IN the high school as
courses are usually arranged, SAID
DR.. Hill, "may wean the boy away
from the farm, even If he entered sim

telligence and preparing himself in a
general way for his life work. This
defect in the present courses of study
in the high schools can best be RENE.

IL makes very interesting reading. It is such varied industries as this that the South has always needed. With the natural ad- vantages which we have at home, why should our merchants be forced to send North and East for their commercial furniture and spend thousands of dol lars yearly in unnecessary freight charges?
 / It would be surprise to a great many Southern merchants to go through this plant, as MT. William T. Knight. of the Knight Pharmacy Com pany, Savannah, Ga, remarked on a re- cent trip there to buy drug fixtures for a new drug store. their place is cred- 1t to the State of Georiga and an honor to the city of Columbus
 Their management Is composed cf young men full of energy and enter prise. and they are progressive in the strictest sense of the word. They have every labor-saving device known to the woodworking craft, in fact. have several machines made especially for them and after their own patterns, among the rest is a Moulding Sander. the only machine of its kind in exist ence, and they estimate that this ma chine does the work of twenty men.
 They probably have as handsome a suite of offices as there are In the State of Georgia. and here, as well as In the factory. they have every labor saving device known, such as auto matic adding machines commercial pRonographs. etc.. this latter machine doing the work of from two to four stenographers.
 They have put in fixtures for the largest stores in the South, among their customers numbering such firms as the Bee Hive. Columbus, Ga, also A. c. Chancellor Co.,, and Kinsel & Petri. of Columbus. in fact. 1t would be hard to find a store in their city without some of their cases. They have also built fixtures for I.oveman.
