Danish population annually sells in the
markets Of London 81, coo, Goo worth
|of butter In 1908 the sntirs United
States exported only u, 064 600 worth
Of butter In addition to the yAst qpan-
Itity Of butter mentioned, Denmark
sends out ene-ffth A. much pork - wo
do, and just ~ many horses; and esr-
tainly, We should lead the world in the
breeding Of horses In the meantime
the Danish nation has taught the hens
how to work. Four hundred and hfty
thousand dollars worth Of eggs were sx-
ported BY this country in 1875, and in
1903 this export had reached . value
Of 4S, 092, 0O0 In the last tan yeaFB
Denmark has taken $4,000, 900 worth Of
corn from Iowa and Nebraska, via New
York, which she has fed to Danish cows
and pigs, and then placed the latter in
tho European markets in sueeesGful
competition with similar products fron
America.
81 said : moment ago that twenty
years ago the competitor Of Denmark
was the State of New York. In these
twenty years the Danish people have
increased their exports from Il, 000,o 900
to $40,O00,000 In the same twenty
years farm values in the State of New
York have decreased 5000, 100000 In
the last fifteen years Ontario has outbid
New York in the same way in the
cheese market. Twenty years ago New
York companies received Canadian
cheese and put the New York stamp On
it to get one cent more in the English
market. Today the New York farmers
are sending their cheese over the Cana
dian boundaries, and paying two cents
per pound in order to sell it at all. 4"
Showing the superiority of European
methods of education in comparison
with American education, Dean Russell
said:
Wurtemburg Is = small German
state, little larger than the Inland
Empire Of Eastern Washington, and
having population OF about two mil
lion persons. Thirty years ago Wur-
temburg began to realize that her pop
ulation WAS beginning to dwindls; that
something had to be done to maintain
her integrity rs 8 state. So she set
about building up E system of schools
for all the people; that would help the
boy who wished to be carpenter, =
plumber, or q farmer, in the same de-
Is thav
would assist the youth who desired to
be 8 lawyer, an engineer, or ply
sieian- Today Wurtemburg has uni
vsr.ity giving courses of worldwide
fame; technical schools, weaving and
manufacturing schools; two hundred and
thirty industrial schools in towns and
villages; schools for metal workers, and
workers in the textile trades; schools Of
art, of agriculture, of preparation for
household management; and numerous
farm schools, and high schools through
out the state.
Wurtemburg state but little
larger than the Inland Empire Of East
ern Washington, supports all these in
stitutions, with an income of ten dollars
per head of population. What would
American citizens think, if in addition
TO supporting agricultural colleges, they
were asked to support Eve hundred
technical and Industrial schools for
every two million Of populations This
is what is being done in the small state
Of Wurtemburg, and from the point Of
view Of American citizens today, it is
almost inconceivsble; the contemplation
Of which must lead any American citi-
zen to infer that his country has much
to do and learn before it can success
fully compete with the old country in
the products of industrial education. )"
