ARTICLE VI
The High School For The College Few.

AihS M oShOOiIo TIC SUIlcSc TCW.
1t has been said times out of number
that the high schools were planned for the
benefit of the few who wish to go to
college. Bnt isn't it too late in the worlds
progress for intelligent people to say that?
Such a statement is without any substan-
tial foundation as to its spirit.
What is meant by the few? Certainly
the Inference is that something like ten
per cent only go to higher schools, where
as in all progressive communities from
thirty to forty per cent go to some higher
school, not always, Immediately, but
ultimately, and because OF that high
school course.
No more true is it that the high school
is for those only who are to go to college.
Only Latin can be said to be exclusively
for t~hose.who areto go to college. German,
History, Literature, Mathematics and
sciences are primarily for a cultured life
and only incidentally for college.
The truth is that the whole spirit OF
the high school is to make a college
course relatively unnecessary. The four
years are focused for culture getting. A
young man or a young graduating
from a classical course i'll a first class
high school can maintain a position III
cultured society with no unreasonable
effort. There is nothing in the best
classical high school that does not con
tribute to the social and cultural advan
tage of any person who does not go tc
tile college. The higher the standard o
college for which the high school fits it
students, the greater the service rem
dered those who are not to go to college.
Nor has this %non-going college ad'
vantage merely a cultural and social value,
There is nothing i'll the classical training
of a high scool that does not materially
| advance one in the class in which he il
Ito play the game of life as a business
man or a skilled mechanic. A moderr
language is always likely to place one tc
advantage. Geometry, algebra and trig
onometry enable n to take a better view
of any practical subject. History ant
Literature give a business man or
skilled mechanic a power he would no
otherwise have, and every thing in scienc'
and art put lin in a better class in bust
ness and mechanical life. All that thes,
folly statements can possibly mean il
that the high school atmosphere make
one wish to go to collge, wish to know
more, to seek higher standards of knowl
edge, and that this is a mistake. If III
thinks that is a civic, Industrial, or com
mercisl crime let him say SO, and tina
will place such an one in the class wher
he belongs namely, among the non.pro
gressive, the selfish, the misery, thos
who rebel that we have no caste in til,
educational possibilities of the Unite'
States.

developed a type of corn which is
strong in breeding. He must then
look TO the keeping OF the vitality.
The corn should be stored in the same

winter all the corn should be tested

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR
IMPROVING CORN CROP
The Double Aim of the - T.. S.


The field OF work for the corn breed
ef is two fold. He should first produce
n variety which will yield the largest
amount Of sound, marketable corn in
his locality, and secondly, he should
induce others by word and practice
TO grow better type. or course, his
object is 70 sen his corn TO them when
they become fully approclatve. Three
points should be given attention In
improvement OF corn Prevention Of
inbreeding; fixing a definite type; and
securing the maximum yield.
If the corn Is not inbred Il viii not
run out so soon when IL IS used in the
field by the growers. Fixing a def
mite type tends also toward the same
end, but is broader, in that II also aids
in maintaining a maximum yield Of
sound corn.
Preserving the seed Is Of the great
est importance. Each ear should be
cared for as II it we're finely bred
animal. In ono of them may be the
developing OF type Of corn which
will surpass any other variety. II the
seed shed is well ventilated and the
corn is dry before freezing, there is
no danger of the vitality being In.
jured during the winter. Nevertheless,
all the corn should be tested With the
termination box and all doubtful ears
discarded
Eacn ear should be carefully OK
amined in regard to type. Choose
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1908-05-14

only ears that conform to the same
type. They should be of the same size
and shape. Straightness of rows
should be considered The distance
between them should be only great
enough to allow the corn TO mature
and dry out thoroughly. 1t is very inn
portant that the kernels be of the
same size and shape. This makes the
work of grading very simple
After this selection has been made
take enough corn from one side Of
each ear to plant 80 hills. The ears
are then TO be wrapped, labeled and
stored. II is very important to keep
them in perfect condition, as further
work depends on their vitality the fol
lowing spring. A plot Should he Sc
lected where the corn taken from each
year can be planted in a separate row.
Give the rows the ordinary soil Let
the method of preparation of ground
and tending of crop be what would be
given regular field. Sucker broken
and barren stalks are TO be removed
in due season. In the fall harvest
each row and calculate the yield of
each. one. This corn is not to be used
for further breeding operations.
The ears which have the highest
yielding powers can now be selected
for further use. From these select two
which nearest approach the same type.
Plant the remainder of the ears in al.
ternate rows in breeding plant. This

Tho seed to be saved IS to come
from the dotasseled row, as It is not
inbred. This corn will give as near
as possible the three fundamental
points for which the breeder was
working. First, inbreedng has been
prevented; second, by selection,
definite type has been secured; and,
third, the yield is being increased. For
more work it So necessary 10 select the
best ears from this crop and make a
test with them as was done with the
parent ears.
After a high grade OF seed has been
produced It is necessary to get 1t be-
fore the growers. The breeder should
interest himself IN the improvement
of the growers corn. This will be
done by taking interest in all the corn
shows and contests in his locality.

EFFECT OF MULCH.
It Does Not Retsrd Blooming of Straw
berry Plants.

No. This question has been settled
for 90 years. So long as the top of a
plant is exposed to sunshine and air.
so long will any mulch be impotent to
retard its developing and blooming.
If n plant like n strawberry plant be
kept entirely covered with the mulch,
the development win be retarded, but
in that case the plant is likely TO be
destroyed by the mildews that will de.
velop.
1t used TO be believed that placing
straw around n tree or around a plant
would keep its roots cold ana thus
delay blooming. This was desired to
carry the tree or plant beyond the
time of killing frosts. But 1t was not
difficult TO prove that the state Of the
roots had nothing TO do with the
time of leaving out OF the tree or of
its budding. In one of the demonstra.
tions TO prove this. a grape vine with
its roots in the frozen ground, which
was also covered with snow, was car.
ried into a greenhouse and exposed to
the light, heat and sunshine. The
leaves came ont as usual. though the
roots could not supply moisture. OF
course the exhaustion of the moisture
in the vine resulted in its destruction.
