He is interested in modern methods
and modern machinery. He is able to
take the hints and suggestions given
out from the agricultural stations and
successfully use them. He has been
taught to do that kind of thing in the
schools. He becomes an up-to.date,
progressive, scientific farmer and a
power for good among his fellows.
These are some few of the advan
tages of high school education To
bright boy who chooses farming as his
vocation.
In hundreds of cities and towns all
over our fair state, all of the boys and
girls have the privilege Of attending
the high school free of charge, and
profiting 10y the splendid advantages
here offered for bringing into maturity
and usefulness whatever inherent pow
ers they may possess. Many of them
are improving these fine opportunities
and later in pursuing their thirst for
knowledge are filling up our colleges as
never before. Now all this is just as it
should be except that the country
young people should have the same ad
vantages. | am most heartily in favor
of township high schools which would
even up things somewhat and give all
the boys and girls equal privileges. A
few have already been started and
more will follow until, like the rural
mail delivery, we find them all through
the state. In this section of the state,
we have no such schools as yet and you
must send your young people to the
towns for high school training. If you
send them to Yale, we believe you will
make no mistake.
In Yale we have loyal people. who
almost without exception. believe in
education and all that it stands for,
and are willing to make sacrifices that
the schools shall be the best possible.
We have Board of Education COM
posed of the most wide-awake, progress
sive business men who are sparing no
pains nor reasonable expense to keep
our schools abreast Of the times and to
make them the equal of those in towns
even larger. We have trained and
progressive teachers, alive and awake
to the best interests of the students.
Our school building is one of the best
in the state, with system OF heating
and ventilation that is well nigh per
feet so that the physical health of the
students is cared for while the mental
life is receiving its training Our Ii
brary and laboratory are receiving
yearly additions and are becoming very
efficient. In short, we believe Yale Of
fers unusual advantages for the farm
ers' sons and daughters. Send them TO
us and we will do them good.
