been so incompetent and so devoted to
other matters that the progress Of this
work has been slow.
The improvement Of the rural schools
and the teaching of agriculture in them
is something of a hobby with the writer
Of these lines. It seems almost incom-
prehensible that in a great agricultural
state like Kansas so many years should
have gone by and no attention paid in
the schools to the things of the farm.
A million people in Kansas live on farms
and only half a million in the towns.
yet our educational system is intended
chiefly for training business and pro-
fessionaI men if it is followed through
to its conclusion. If a country boy
wishes to learn anything about agri-
culture he must wait until he has gone
through the country schools and then
go to Manhattan to college.
It would be possible to teach some
thing of nature study and conduct a
school garden in some of the present
rural schools, and in a consolidated
school it ought to be possible to teach
considerable scientific agriculture. It
would doubtless be an investment of
tremendous profit to the state to event.
ually establish system of agricultural
high schools, such a system as is recon-
mended by Prof w. M. Hays of Min
nesota, now assistant United States sec
rotary Of agriculture, but the work
should begin in the common schools.
It is more important to the farmer to
know something of the chemistry of
soils, of butter making, and of mixed
rations for fattening hogs and cattle
than it is for him to have a drawing
room knowledge of French. He would
be better off to know the botany of
corn breeding and seed termination
than he would be to know all about
mathematics that will enable him to tell
how many acres there arein a triangular
field, how much grain there is in GER
tain bin. and how to keep an accurate
record of his farm work, rather than the
mathematics of the counting room or
the custom house.
The common schools of a farming
state should educate the children to be
farmers and to love the farm. It is
therefore encouraging that some Of
these problems are being discussed by
Kansas educators. Tomorrow Mr.. o.
]. Kern, of Illinois, will also speak of
them. Mr.. Kern is one of the half dozen
men of the country who have done and
are doing a tremendous work in in
creasing the value of the rural school.
He is county superintendent of Win

doubtless have message Of great value
