Education in Rural Schools.


The Importance Of an Improvement
in the education of farmers children
is becoming more and more fully i'm
pressed upon educators. Some OF the
facts in the case are given by cores
pendent of the Tribune Farmer, as
follows:
I have Just returned from speaking
before two teachers Institutes held in
Our country Two years ago attended
like meeting It is most interesting
to note the growth Of sentiment as it
concerns the teaching Of those things
pertaining to country life. The teach
ers listened then as a matter OF cur1os-:
ity; now evidently they have an intel
1igent understanding of the needs Of
the hour. Particularly is this true OF
the older teachers present. Many OF
them came to me after the session and
gave experiences in the effort to inter
est children in nature study and farm
practices One had taken up the sub
ject of seeds, and through the children
had reached the parents and discovered
the sort of seed they used The chill
dren had in this case become stuff
GENTLY interested, so they were dis
cussing the question themselves. An
other had tried field excursions with
varying success. Another in a dairy
district had talked about cattle rations.
Our educational department is fully
alive to the subject, and perhaps the
| most interesting feature of the case is
the fact that they do not through any
Of their agencies proclaim an only
way to get results.
The situation is really most comp1i-
| Gated because Of the many forces to be
dealt with.
The greatest difficulty of all is the
viewpoint of the school patron. He
has been successful through his own
force and initiative, and this knowledge
has not come through books or any
recognized system of teaching. He
just worked it out, and, guessing most
OF the time, there were many failures,
which were, of course, obviated when
possible. We have not worked out
any plan through an understanding of
principle; rather has the whole scheme
OF farm practice been worked out from
observation; necessary in it's place, but
doubly valuable when fortified by love
| for the business and a trained under
standing Of the fundamentals.
All of these things can never be
placed in a grade school and taught to
children, but the children can get
enough to show to them, as they de-
velop, that the science of farm life is
sufficiently complicated to demand a
course Of study in an institution where
agricultural science is specialized.
Where children in the rural schools
have no aptitude or love for rural study
1t IS lust as idle to force it upon them
as it is unwise to leave those who have
| the inclination without it.
| Really we should be hopeful over the
situation. We have been steadily
pounding away in an effort to get our
wants recognized; now that they have
been we should be able to work out
details and get real permanent school
help for our country children.

Give the Trees Fertility.

Commissioner Pease, of San Ber-
nard1no county, apparently believes
that Our orange growers must wake
up and give proper fertility to the soil.
In a letter to the Cu1tivator, he saws:

ion in certain locality in regard to

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMoE.
Plthy Remarks from One Of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera'
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling its value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce iG to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it wi be to live it down

er the winter modes like the silent
mist of the morning; it is softness of

to produce and always with remark

and subdued that frequently they are
only to be detected on near scrutiny.

able braided effects can be reproduc-
ed in cloth. silk or other yard mate
rials, cut into bias or straight folds
In some recent instances of smart
skirts the plaits have emerged from

be a continuation Of new-shaped hip

and still again they are laid in very
fine side plaits, pressed as flat as pos
sible, and decorated with small velvet
buttons or others Of silk crochet.
SO much has been written about
long coats that the bolero and Eaton
must feel sighted, yet this neglect
on the part of fashion writer's has not
been paralleled by the couturieres, for
some of the foremost firms are show
ing a number of unusually smart bo-
leros. They are cut on more or less
novel lines, and are more suited to
dressy models than are the long coats
or, in fact, coats Of almost any length
The waistcoat effect is emphasized
in the short coats, and the prettiest
imaginable ideas are carried out with

An Acute Observer.

A one-arIned man sat down to his
MONDAY luncheon in a little restaur-
ant the other day. and seated on the
right Of him was a big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district
The big fellow noticed his neigh
boris left sleeve hanging loose apd
kept eyeing him in a sort Of how-did-

failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position little. cleared
his throat and said; Il see, sir, you
have lost an arm"

picked up the empty sleeve with his
right hand. peered into II. looked up

The scare ABOUT sleeves has settled
into pretty general conviction that the
woman who wants long sleeves can
have them and be secure in the
thought that she is ahead of the FASH
ion, and that the woman who wants
the short sleeve is welcome to it and
may wear it with sure comfort that
a host Of persons counted among the
best in the land are with her. Long
sleeves, wrinkled their entire length
and coming over the back Of the hand,
are here, as it was predicted away
back last summer that they would be

or lace and match the yoke of the

such sleeves are so many as to defy
parucularization. some of the upper
sleeves being mere caps or bands

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was In the
ONCE of the Canadian Government at
St Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
of the building were signs 10 the effect
that homesteads Of 100 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and In
the windows were displays Of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told were grown
in Western Canada This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would 1t be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named aud vegetables as
well the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one Of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of a country pos
sessing a soil that will grow things.
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such cul-
ture, but they We're in evidence.
Throughout Indiana the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think
When a similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks,
many Of them were forced to stop and
remark: THAT is much ahead OF any
thing we can do. The quality OF the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think of
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there and these turnips,
cabbages, cauliflowers, beets, man
Colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead Of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens. are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of $40 for 160
acres. If adjoining land Is wanted It
can be secured from the railway COM
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms.

proper fit. dress which has been
bought ready made surely can be made
to serve the purpose and to really
look nice, but one which is made at
home is exactly right. as it is made to
fit one certain figure
In making a dress great thought aud
study should be given to the choosing
of the pattern. Do not choose a pat
tern which is so elaborate that only
the thinnest goods could be made af-
ter It when the material you wish to
make up is heavy and bulky. The pres
ent and sensible fashion for making
the one piece dresses for all girls

Smart simplicity also reigns at pres
ent, which is joyful news to the moth
sers Of large families. The Japanese
and kimono effects are extremely evil

dresses and coats. and they certainly
add a touch Of smartness aside from
the fact that they are as easy to make
