SERIOUS TIMES IN BALTIC
Many Bands of Insurgents Will Have to Be Crushed Before Quiet Will Reign Around
 Riga.

St. Petersburg January 1.-The Rus sians love nothing so much as their hol- idays, but depressed in spirits and purse in these revolutionary days, the celehra- ton of Russian Christmas next Sunday will be sad one. The streets of the capital have put on pitifuI semblance of holiday attire, but none of the heavy buying characteristic of the prodigal Rus sans in former years, is in evidence, while in the industrial sections the work men, exhausted by long series of strikes, are without money for Christmas trees.
 The green trees and gew-gaws were brought into the city by the country peo- pie, but the trees remain unbought in the streets.
 The holidays however, promise at least superfcially period of compara- tive quiet, the proletariat organizations having decided to refrain from activity until they are ended.
 Articles Defend Witte.
 The Novoe Vremya is printing a series of articles in defense of Premier Witte which are attracting much attention and are assumed to be inspired by the premier himself. The most important statement made is that Witte has taken a definite resolution to retire as soon as the na- tional assembly meets. With the turning over of the reins of power to the peo- ple's representatives he will regard his task as finished. The whole course of events, since the reform manifesto was issued is attributed by the paper to the refusal of the conservatives to support the government. It is explained that many of the reforms which Witte and his cab met have been continually berated for not realizing were not promulgated be- cause before or after its giving they would be seized upon by the reds to ad- vance revolution until finally the gov ernment being without the active sup port of the conservative classes, was forced, in self-protection, to adopt re- pressive measures.
 Makes Elections Possible.
 The policy it is now following is solely for the purpose of making possible the holding of elections and accelerating the convocation of the national assembly, The government is yet uncertain what the results of the elections will be, but it is confident that the parties of law and order will have a majority
 All the rumors that Witte's position is shaky, are characterized as pure in ventions The writer of the article says
 "Witte is as firm in the saddle as ever. His health is good and he is proceeding on the conviction that at least three quarters of the Russian people approve or his struggle against the revolution"

Open Revolt is Crushed.

St. Petersburg, January 6.-Q:55 a. m)- The Associated Press has been permitted to interview a representative of the Elm peror regarding the situation in the Baltic provinces. The representative declares that open revolt has been crushed in many parts of the provinces, and though the local authorities who were deposed by the revoutionists are resuming the reins of government under the protection of the troops, the situation Is still very serious one.
 In the districts of Dorpat and Pernau, in Northwestern Iivonia, the troops are unable to move except in heavy force. body of cavalry which niade forced night march from Walk, surprised an in surgent band at Rneu, but the peasants resisted until their ranks had been torn and shattered when they surrendered their arms and their leaders. There is strong concentration of insurgents in the villages of Meizekul and Lemeale, fur ther to the westward. which must be at tackled and broken up.

Immediately Shot.

A band of insurgents attacked General Orloff and his escort of a squadron Of cavalry near Marienburg, but the attack was repulsed and the leaders captured The latter were immediately tried by drum-head court martial and shot.
 The advices received by the government report the capture of an important arse nal of the revolutionists at Lemernik, in Southern Russia in which were found not only rifles, bombs and explosives, but also a small field pice. Another arsenal near Nakhitedchevan caught fire and an ex- plosion followed resulting in the killing of twelve persons and the wounding of nine others.

but the mental satisfaction in his work
that makes him love his profession
and give to it's practice the best ener-
gies of his life.
The physician studies long and hard
in preparation for his profession, and
then if successful is more and more
absorbed in struggles with suffering
and death, and oppressed with an ever
increasing sense of the limitations of
his knowledge and his skill. But his
heart is in his work, because he hopes
to alleviate pain and prolong useful
lives, if only he can find effective ways
in which to apply scientific principles
to the special needs of diseased human
bodies.
Is there any good reason why the
principles Of the natural world to sup
ply mankind with food and clothing
and whose labor makes it possible for
civilized life to exist and develop,
should not be so educated that he will
find in his business much mental stim-
illus and delight?
So the farmer comes with his eco
nOmic, social and educational needs to
the teacher and asks what the schools
can do to make him a more successful
business man, a better citizen and
neighbor, more intelligent and happy
man. And he expects an answer based
on an intelligent and sympa thetic ap-
probation Of his needs, as we'll as on
an up-to-date understanding Of the
functions of the public-school system
organized with reference to the re-
quirements of the masses Of youth in

AS millions OF children came to be

it became apparent that the literary
currlcula and the general atmosphere
of school life ON the old basis created
diStaste for the manual OCCUPATIONS
in which the vast majority of all the
students in public schools must en-
gage during their adult life
Naturally the movement for the re-
modelling our school system to meet
the requirements of industrial life had
it's most active development first in
the cities, where the school system
was most highly organized and where
the very rapid increase in the extent
and variety Of mechanic arts and man
ufactures created a tremendous de-
mand for youthful workers whose
minds had been prepared to deal with

suits Already provision for the teach

schools is made in 40 states. While
in 1890 there were only 81 cities Of

it is reasonable to expect that an edu-
cation which aims directly to promote
Industrial efficiency, as the new edu-
cation does, will more than pay for it's
increased cost by the increased wealth
which it will produce. If literary edu-
cation has been very profitable in

permanently maintain the fertility of
the soil, what crops are best adapted
to his locality, how to select and i'm
prove varieties, what methods Of cult
walton, irrigation, and drainage will
enable him to make the most prOduc-
tive and beneficial use of the available
water supply, which machines are best
adapted to particular uses and how
they can be most economically main
tanned, what kinds of animals are most
profitable to keep and how they can
be improved, what methods of storage,
packing and marketing will yield the
best results, what remedies to apply
in plant of animal diseases, how to
prevent ravages by insects, birds and
animals. Merely as a money-maker,
the farmer cannot afford to limit his
knowledge to his own experience and
the observation of his family and his
neighbors. He must have some &C.
quaintance with the general experience
ize information gathered and printed.
This requires preliminary technical
training in school at an early age as
the surest and best preparation for a
successful farm practice
Moreover, the American farmer
needs to learn somewhere that in the
az on which we are now entering the
cooperative spirit will be more and
more essential to the best economic
conditions of agriculture, as of other
industries. The farmer in this coun-
try has thus for been the bulwark of
an indivdualistic organization of in
dustry and Of society in general But
we are beginning to see that excessive
) individualism in industry is resulting
in an overwhelming aristocratic, or
plutocratic, or oligarchic control of in
dustries, and that in some way we
must evolve the true cooperative Or
ganization of our industries if we are
to perpetuate the democratic chara cter
OF our social and legal institutions.

Trent of their industry.
The unintelligent farmer in every
age and land has sunk to the level Of
a stolld and unprOgressive peasant try,
and in this way, in spite of the efforts
OF great statesmen and philanthropists.
the general level of prosperity among
farmers has been kept low. One
of the most discouraging effects of
visit to the Old World by an American
is the observation of the general pow
erty of the masses after all the cen
turtles Of civiliZatiOn-the absolute ruin
of the soil in such countries as Pales-
tine, once the land flowing with milk
and honey, and almost intolerable bur
dens put upon farm women and chill
dren even in such enlightened coun-
tries as Germany and Belgium, the ex-
IRENE want often seen in rural COM
munities in Spain, Italy and Ireland.

education over against what they call
a cultural education. It is an educa-
ton truly and completely cultural
which we demand, and our insistence
is that no education can be completely
cultural which does not contain the
manual or Industrial element.
The teacher can also now say for
the encoura cement of the farmer that
owing largely to the work of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the agricultural colleges and
experiment stations in California and
other states, there is now a large body
of definite knowledge which may be
called the principles of agriculture.
And this knowledge has been already
more or less completely reduced to
pedagogic form for use in various
grades of school.
If agricultural textbooks do not al
ready exist which are especially adapt
ed to California, the publishers will
have them prepared just as soon as
your school authorities call for them.
Of course improvements will be made
in the books and appliances for agri-
cultural institutions just as they are
constantly being made in those for the
atural sciences and even the ancient
languages.
Moreover, we already have success
full examples of the teaching of agri-
culture in the schools. Thus secondary
and primary agricultural instruction
has been given for many years in the
schools of France, Belgium, Denmark
and Germany, and i'll recent years il
Massachusetts, California, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Wisconsin. and Alabama,
and to negroes at Hampton, Va, and
Tuskegee, Ala, and a number of Other
schools for this race in different
Southern states, and already thous-
ands Of children in the elementary
schools in this country are receiving
instruction relating to agriculture.
often under the name of nature study
Thus our argument is complete. The
farmer boy or girl comes to the public
school with fundamental economic, So
cial and educat ional needs that should
be met with special training i'll agri-
cultural lines. The teacher comes to
the public schools with new ideals of
educat ton that make the Industrial ele-
and with an abundance of material for
useful instruction in agriculture. Sure
ly old-time traditions and prejudices
cannot long bar the way to the effec
tive teaching of agriculture in our
public schools.
But some one rises up and says it
will cost too much to give farmers
children such instruction in the public
schools. l cannot believe that such
an argument will have much weight
with the American public in general.
or with the California public in par
ticular.
No doubt we must pay more for
our public schools in the future than
we have in the past. We must have
