people to know what better road laws, bet
ter school laws, better corporation laws,
better transportation and communication,
cooperation in buying and selling, elimina-
ton Of the middleman, establishment Of
social %centers, libraries, lectures. etc, edu-
cation in the things which come close to
the farm and its life; better houses and
more conveniences, with bigger profits and
therefore a larger margin to spend in bet
ter living; bring the people to understand
what all these things will mean to them,
and that these things are what the new
movement seeks to give them, and Mr..
Pinchot believes there will be short delay
about getting 1t under Roadway.
President Roosevelt has named as his
commissioners, Prof. L. H.. Bailey of New
York Agricultural college at Ithaca, who
is one of the recognized experts in these
studies; Henry Wallace of Des Moines,
a practical farmer, who knows actual farm
ing conditions all over the country; Presi-
dent Kenyon l.. Butterfield of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College; Clifford
Pinchot, forester Of the government; and
Walter II. Page. editor of The Worlds
Work. These gentlemen will meet shortly,
probably in this city, and prepare for their
work, on which the president has asked
them TO report before January ! so that ne
may have opportunity to make recommen-
dations to congress as to aspects which
may neeessltate legislation.
This report will be merely preliminary.
It is designed to have a great, permanent,
organized movement developed from this
beginning. 1t is recognized as a work OF
years, OF decades; indeed, a work that Will
never he finished, II II Is rightly begun and
well prosecuted.
Social and economic changes OF utmost
significance may readily be forecast as
results Of this work. Thus, the commission
will make most careful inquiry into the
benefits and the need Of cooperation. Co
operation among farmers means nothing
less than the death-knell Of the country
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-27

town. Primarily a trading center, and
s~econdarily a social and educational center,
1t is supported by the population imme-
diately surrounding 1t. The indictment
against the country town charges that it
is economically wasteful in that it takes
heavy toll from the producing community
without any adequate compensation; that
it is socially demoralizing, and that as an
Industrial center 1t is a failure. It's schools
are better than those of the country dis
trict; but they are not good, and are In
nowise adapted to the education OF the
boys and girls who are TO be farmers.
So, inevitably, the extension OF practical
cooperation in buying and selling the
farms necessaries and products, and better
transportation, means the decay OF the
country town. 1t means, If such careful
students as Prof. Bailey, who has gone
deeply into this problem, can be taken as
authority, that the farmer would get more
nearly what he is entitled to from his
products, while the people who now make
up the population of the country town
would themselves be gradually redistTlbuted
back TO the ranks of economic producers;
some would become farmers, some would
go to the Industrial centers. The|disinte-
grafton OF the country town is inevitable
when rural free delivery shall remove ex-
cuse for maintaining its postoffice, when
postal savings banks shall enable the
farmer to handle his money most easily,
when cooperation shall rave reduced the
amount of business for the country gen
eral store and when parcels post shall
have brought the markets Of the city to
the farmers door. Then the improvement
Of country schools will make It possible
for growing families to be educated with
out leaving the farm; and the establish
ment Of social c%enters, libraries. halls. IN
~stitutes. lecture courses, etc, will remove
the social excuse for the country towns
existence.
This is rather a big problem with which
70 grapple. II involves running counter 70
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-27

a vast power of interest and prejudice; a
power which has thus far been success
fully appealed to in the effort to prevent
adoption of the parcels post adjunct to the
postal service, for instance. But, urge those
who believe the country town an excuseless
institution, when 1t is abolished the farmer
will cooperate in marketing his products.
Ills butter and eggs instead of being pro-
duced at home and marketed at the country
store by the pound and dozen and paid
for in trade" will be marketed directly
&c the city, in quantities; the butter will
be made at the cooperative creamery and
sold for cash; the grain will pay no ex-
cessive tolls to the elevator combine, but
Will be handled at cost by the cooperative
elevator. And so on through the list Of the
FARMS output.
So much for the economic revolutions
quiet and gradual one, Of course. and one
which iH truth would finally benefit all
concerned, II those who advocate it are
right. The educational changes would be
no less striking. 1t is in mind that, instead
Of having subdistrict schools scattered all
over each rural township. a system should
be developed under which a single central
school should be for the township, with a
good. sanitary. modern school building. In
thus should be conducted an organized and
graded school. with better paid teachers and
with facilities for real educational work.
Instead OF having one teacher at SS5 a month
teaching the three rs TO a half score
of infants in summer, and to a half hundred
youth Of all ages in winter. there would be
skilled teachers In each grade. some higher
courses and good work throughout the year
for those who wanted IT, More than All
this, the text books for country schools and
the courses OF study would be designed for
the special conditions OF the country. There
would be effort at adapting the education
to the needs Of the children; elemental
chemistry, the adaptation Of some knowl-
edge OF geology to study Of sol conditions

less and ineffective waste OF effort. The
one trouble is tina the people will not move
in that direction; at least, not till the coun-
try is made more attractive to them than
now. 1t is useless to moralize and preach
about it. The people whom we regard as
u~nfortunates, on New YoTk's lower East
Side. would rather stay right there and
continue living the life of the city. than
to move away to the really better condi-
tions Of the country and there's the end Of
it," said Clifford Pinchot, one of the com
missioners. I'VE must make our effort to
keep the people on the farm. once they are
there; not to toll them away from the city
to the farm"
Mr.. Pinchot is that rara avis, a practical
altruist; he is a millionaire, who instead Of
driving a coach and six over the beautiful
roads of England. or automobiling in
France. for mere pleasure, rolls up his
sleeves and works without vacations for
the government at a per annum salary
which represents his private income for a
week or two, and then pays a good slice Of
the salary to piece out the meager allow
ance made by the government for a private
secretary, in order that he may nave the
secretary he wants, He has been studying
these problems for years, AS chief forester
he has lived much among the poorest coun-
try people. He knows their conditions and
their needs. He can tell Of nights spent
in the effort to sleep on the floors of their
humble but hospitable homes; Of meals of
'sowbelly" and pone; OF the deadly monot-
ony Of their lives and the unending drudg-
cry OF their work. He believes that this
work is one of education as well as of in
nffon-araaf tina ,. Of rnaEfnn the paouTa
understand; of instilling a social conscious
ness. an ambition and aspiration for better
things. He believes that new institutions
must indeed be created; but before these
can be secured, there must be aroused an
aspiration for them and for the better con-
diuons which they will bring. Bring the

''modern conveniences" than the farm has
thus far known.
Helping the woman of the farm to
improve the conditions Of her life, which
by all the students of the problem is con-
coded TO constitute the most difficult pro-
blem Of all.
These are only a few Of the questions
which the presidents country life commits
sion must consider. They are mentioned
as among the most striking, and as sug-
gestive of the great scope OF work for the
farming population which Is proposed TO
be taken up.
President Roosevelt believes. and so do
the gentlemen whom he has designated as
his commissioners, that the city has had
its share OF attention; that the country
needs and is entitled to intelligent con-
sideration. To keep the people from desert
ing the farm for the city is a great pro-
blem nowadays all over the world, Eng
land has grappled with it and been hope
lessly defeated, it presents a decadent
agriculture and overcrowded cities fun OF
ignorant and vicious elements, as a result
OF this defeat. Germany faces the problem
with misgivings; her defeat has not yet
been made so signal and overwhelming as
that Of England. but the tendency to con
centrate IN the cities is marked and alarm
ing. Austria and Italy confront like con-
ditions, especially northern Italy. France
has best stemmed the tide toward the cities,
France being a country of small holdings
OF land, while the others are countries OF
landlord proprietors and tenant farmers.

urged that the United States strongly
