STAY WITH "OLD FOLKS"
ADVICE TO FARMER BOYS
Department of instruction De
plores Migration of Indiana
Lads to Cities.
HEAVY LOSS TO STATE,

The State department of public instruction
is trying to check the steady migration Of
the Indiana farmer boy to the cities. In a
bulletin issued TO the teachers Of Indiana
the department declares that the State is
gradually being Slapped of its energies by
the movement, and it says that the teacher
alone can influence the lad to remain at
home.
The fact that every year thousands of
boys from the rural districts of Indiana go
to the city searching for better chance"
is deplored by the board. The advice given
to the boy is. beware of Chicago, ST. Louis
and the other larger cities of the West.
They are admonished to stay with the "old
folks and keep away from the pitfalls of
the city.
One of the statements made in the bulletin
is: 1T will be sad day for our national
life when all our young farmers come To
town; when the small, well-cultivated
homesteads give way to landed estates"
