New Orleans, La, Jan. 9.-Durine
the next two weeks state meetings Of
the National Farmers Union are tc
be held in eighteen states, beginning
today with meeting in Oklahoma
The national executive committee has
formulated plan to hold one million
bales of cotton off the market The
various state meetings are asked to
ratify this plan and take the necessary
steps to put it into effective operation.
When this is done the National Farm
ers' Union shall have accomplished
what no other organization has ever
been able to do-that is, it will have
the cotton situation of the United
States we'll in hand and under the
most thorough control.
The public, especially in the south
and southwest, has heard much of the
Farmers Union during the past few
years 1t is predicted that the organi
cation will attract much more atten-
ton in the near future, for when it
has got the cotton situation well in
hand it means to turn its attention to
the control of other products of the
soil.
History does not record a more phe-
nomenal growth than that of the
Farmers Union. Born in Texas less
than decade ago, and beginning op-
erations with membership of ten
persons, it has today an active men,
bership of more than one million, COW
ering every southern state and spread
ing into number of states in the far
west. Strong state organizations now
exist in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisi |

DIR. ELIOT SPEAKS.
Harvard President Addresses Uniyer.
sity Alumni.

Columbia, March, 19.-Dr. Charles
w. Eliot. retiring president Of Har-
ward University. tonight, speaking in
the hall Of the house OF representa-
tives. under the auspices of the alum
nj of the University Of South Caro-
lima, made an eloquent plea that the
State give each child "its own best
chance" to so train it's youth that
they should be best fitted for the call
ings which they wanted to follow, and
which. as individuals in a great DEM
ocracy. they must follow.
DR.. Eliot said that the modern
methods of education were far su-
perior to those of sixty years ago. The
methods had changed from the de-
ductive method, dependent on men,
ory and discrimination. to the induc-
tive method, based on actual obserya-
tion and inference. The modern sys-
tenn, he says. taught the student to
do. not primarily to know.
Education. he held, should be di-
rected towards the end Of training a
nations youth, en- masse, for the
duties of citizenship. 1t is hindered
In this way by every change which
tends to decrease the mental vigor of
people--changes from outdoor in
dustry to indoor work.
In conclusion he urged that ample
provision be made by the States for
institutions of higher learning, the
educational inspiration coming from
the top, not the bottom, Of school
system.
