NO LABOR UNIONIsTs
Chicago Minister Argues Against Teach

The Englewood Woman's club is a

R. A. White presented the subject, and
in doing so, stirred up the teachers.

DIR. White made the following sugges-
tons:
That a part of the building fund be
diverted to the teaching fund.
That tenure Of office for teachers be
put into effect.
That legislation be passed in favor of
pension law
That the merit system for the ap'
pointment and promotion Of teachers
be established.
That no teacher shall be permitted
directly or Indirectly, to become mem,

The last two sections Of this cate
CORY were a challenge to the teachers
who had been invited to attend.
"In a democratic state, all public
servants must serve the commonwealth
and not a part Of it, said DR.. White

Changing the System.

"While the agricultural colleges, gen.
orally, educate men and women for pro-
fessional agricultural work, this school
has grandly opened up practical way
Of educating the boys and girls who are
to remain in farm life. While nearly
all Of our whole school system serve as
avenues off the farm into city life, the
Minnesota agricultural high school, and
schools copied after it, in the Univer-
sity. of Nebraska and in the University
of Maine, also in the agricultural col
leges Of North Dakota and Oklahoma,
and the smaller county agricultural high
schools at Menomonie and Warsaw,
Wis.,, have proven that boys and girls
who are to remain on the farm can and
should be specifically educated for coun-
try business and country life.
The next step is to develop schools
which shall offer this new practical in
struction to all the farm boys and girls.
Recent advances show that the rural
school can be so reorganized that agri-
cultural and home economics can be
successfully introduced there. The
rural schools must, however, first be

Possibilities, Are Great. q

The farm school accommodating the
pupils hauled to it at public expense
from an area five miles square, with
it's ten acres of land; it's substantial
four-room schoolhouse; it's cottage for
principal; shelter belts Of trees; it's
fields, gardens, orchards, Fairgrounds
and other. things needed by principal
who teaches some agriculture and an
assistant principal trained in teaching
home economies; this kind of a school
is full of unheard-of possibilities.
Its course Of study can be extended
two years beyond the grades, thus sup
plying the children with the first two
years OF high school work before they
leave the parental roof. And four
teachers can fairly compass the work
for the 120 or $50 pupils. The agricul-
turee and the home economics, instead of
will greatly assist it. The technical
and industrial studies do more than
teach of books; they lead to something;
they induce the pupil to appreciate the
modern form Of the old aphorism, 1.-THE
earth belongs to him who waits, ,

ment of the present, as EThe earth be-
longs to him who hustles while he

These school can also be articulated

Benefits to Be Derived.

"Thousands Of students who wish to
enter some city vocation have the op-
portunity to do so. In fact, the farm
school as thus outlined, is nearly as
great benefit to the boy and girl who
wishes to go into the city, as the one
who wishes to remain on the farm.
"This scheme will do more to articu-
late the entire school system into a
complete and harmonious unit than any
thing else that has been suggested; and
further, the young people who go from
the country homes with this better prep
aration will be even more useful than are
those vigorous people who now come
from the country into city life and en-
rich it with their physical, mental and
moral energy.
"There IS no doubt but that the
proportion of our whole people engaged
in farming, now only 35 per cent, will
be still further reduced, probably to Is
per cent. These 10 per cent going from
| the farms to the cities will have a good
influence in proportion to their train
| ing and ability. The state can as ap-
propriately help to build farm schools
| as university, or as state capitol.
