TO IMPROVE THE
FARMERS LOT
Continued from second pare.

portion of his farm TO be transformed into
object lesson. He works 1t according to the In
structons OF the representative of the Department
of Agriculture. When his neighbors how much
better his crops than theirs they are inspired

recently recounted in The Tribune The theory is
that when farmer has money in his pocket the

Practically ali of the states and territories have
agricultural schools and colleges but they are
in position TO do effective work for the farmer

is the head has conducted for many years a
respondence school in agriculture. This has de-
partrnents for the women and children as well as
the men Thousands OF students are enrolled
1t been suggested thai the textbooks and the
underlying idea of the teaching in the rural schools
might be altered 10 the advantage Of the sections
in which they are located The textbooks are crtt-
cised being written from the commercial point
of view. the examples in arithmetic. for instance,
being those which = bank commercial clerk

might well be such the farmer would be called
on TO solve in his daily life
There is a to consolidate the underpaid
poorly equipped rural schools In large central and
accessible schools well equipped with specialists

would be used to collect rhs children ana return
them home There are six hundred of these con-
solidated rural schools throughout the United
States, two hundred Of them being in the South
They we'll equipped for their work II IN stated
that an effort is being made TO obtain from Con-
gress an appropriation TO assist in planting such
schools
