EDUCATION AND RURAL LIFE,
The Young Folks Being Educated Towards the Farm In
stead of Away From It.

city made up of town lots of ten
to twenty acres in area. The
truth is that city bred people have
but little conception of what rural
life really is. The excitements of
a city life unite to unfit an indi-
vidual for the peaceful pursuits
of rural living, Whatever hope
there is, therefore, for the rural
districts must eventually come
from the rural districts themselves.
1t is to the population on the farm
that we must turn for the perpe-
tuity and improvement of rural
life. 1t may be very entertaining
and quite fashionable to chat in
the city parlors about the beauties
of agriculture, but the real prob
lens of agriculture are on the
farm and not in the drawing room.
He discusses the questions of
profits, urging education to devel-
ope the farms to their greatest de-
velopement. Entering into the
question of profits he said was the
consideration of markets, good
roads and methods of transporta-
ton.
Regarding education in farming
he said; "All agree that we have
passed the time for unintelligent
farming. The fact remains that a
large portion of the agricultural
farming has been blind trust in
the moon, or Providence, or luck.
The multitudes have long believed
the farmers boy needed an educa-
ton if he proposed to be lawyer
or a minister. We appeal an
equally abiding conviction that
the boy who is to be a farmer
must have an education. The
modern idea is that we shall learn
to do things by doing them under
competent supervision and in a
most economical way. In the
larger questions of farm manage
ment and the many problems of
farm life there is call for a grade
of intelligence, of executive abili-
ty and of management much
higher than is ordinarily appreci-
ated."
Agricultural education in the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1905-01-21

rural schools is the outgrouth of
the agricultural college and fol-
lows the line of other educational
development. The local influence
of a school should always be for
the improvement of its constitu-
ency. There is no place where
more widespread good can be done
for agriculture than in the rural
schools.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1905-01-21

At the annual meeting of the
Association of Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations,
held recently at Des Moines, Iowa,
in his address as President Of the
Association, w. O. Thompson,
President of the Ohio State Uni
versity, spoke, in part, as follows:
THE agricultural college has
been unjustly charged with edu-
eating the young man away from
the farm. We may as we'll recog-
nize, however, that in spite of the
agricultural colleges this tenden-
cy continues. 1t is no small part
of our work to cultivate such a
sentiment as will retard this ten
dency. However, there should be
a free movement towards the city
and an equally free movement
toward the farm. Farmers should
not expect all their children to
follow the plow or be queens in
the kingdom of domestic economy.
But farm life must not be the last
resort. 1t must not be the refuge
of necessity; it should be the life
of choice, and | may say of enthu-
siastic choice. 1t is evident that
it has not always been such a
choice, but in many instances men
have dignified themselves and the
farm by deliberately choosing to
lead an independent life rather
than to rush into the miserable
arti6cialities of much of our city
life. 1t is to the population capa-
bic of such a choice that we must
look for the elements that will
check the too strong current away
from the farm"
He spoke of the difficulty of
bringing town or city people to
rural life Many of them are
quite willing to live at Conven-
lent distance from the city with a
large investment in a small area of
ground for personal comfort and a
certain type of luxury that only
the country can bring, but they
are not easily brought to do the
actual farm work necessary for the
development of agriculture, 1--WE
cannot conceive of a country as a
