Agriculture the Neglected Field

All these he must know. And
so far as the theory and practice
goes, these elements have been
well wrought out for the school,
both rural and city. But there is
a great neglected field for the
country child, to say nothing of
the city child. Education develops
the mind largely through its en-
vironment and renders it capable
of dealing with its environment.
The great neglected field in rural
education is the use of agricul-
ture as a means Of that educa-
ton. We are under the spell of
tradition in our ideas as to what
education is and how it is to be
gained.

Governor Mead has been criticised
in many directions for the pardons and
paroles which he has granted. His
course has undoubtedly been just and
proper one and the ends of justice have
not been defeated in paroing prison

The Educational Needs of
Country Life
By Pres. E. A. Bryan

The recent appointment by
President Roosevelt of a commits
sion to investigate the needs and
conditions of country life has
turned public attention to a field
too long neglected. AS a people
we have, for the past generation,
and more, focused our attention
on the development of transpor-
tation, manufacture and COM
merce, partly because of the
greater rewards these seemed to
offer, and partly from an instinct
i've feeling of the need of these in
a symmetrical development of a
nation primarily agricultural. We
have subsidized railways by
money grants and land grants
and community gifts and until re-
Gently have given these a free
hand in the exploitation of the
people. We have stimulated
manufacture by preferential tar
ifs in many instances at enor-
nous cost in the indirect taxation
of the people. As a people we
have developed the corporate in
dividual to enormous size and
strength at the expense of plac-
ing in his hands a monopoly
power over prices of many com
modities.
Time for New Ideas.
In all of this we have faced
away from agriculture and have
even used specious arguments to
convince ourselves that we were
rendering the former a service
thereby, 1t is high time, there
fore, that we face about. Indeed
we have already faced about. The
establishment of agricultural col
leges and experiment stations
have begun an agricultural revo-

Pullman a city council without the tur-

Community Education.

The notion that the only educa-
ton which can proceed is that of
children is a mistaken one. Par
ticularly is it necessary in this
great awakening to the import
ance Of agricultural knowledge
that means be found for the con
tinued education of the entire
community. And this is said
without any disparagement of the
knowledge and intelligence now
existing The best educated are
the most DESTROYS of more knowl-
edge. The agricultural colleges
and experiment stations have
been the greatest of all means of
discovering and getting together
a great body of agricultural
knowledge and of equipping for
further Investigations.

College and School.

There should be the closest
working connection between such
colleges and the rural community.
1t is for this reason that the most
of them have preserved in some
way a physical connection be-
tween the rural school and the
college. And in this way thou
sands have tasted the possibilities
of agricultural education and re-
turned to the farm to put into
practice the lessons there learned.
The farmers Institutes and ex-
tension work has become and is
an important means of rural edu-
cation. Its sphere Of usefulness
should be greatly extended.

Good Work by Oranges.

The educational value of
oranges and similar organizations
can hardly be estimated. It
IS not the social enlightenment
that such organizations bring
alone, but the positive and direct
increase in agricultural and eco
nomic knowledge which makes
for betterment. 1t remains to be
seen how effective in the North
west the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union will be-
come, but it is to be hoped that
this will also be means of bet
terment. Sad to say, the country
church, which in older settled
portions has been great means
of education, has not acquired
the position and Importance here
which it has had elsewhere. In
region where the percentage of
illiteracy is lower than elsewhere
in the United States, it is with
the highest hopes that we look
forward to the improvement of
educational conditions in country
life.

luton which is even now in pro-
gress, and the present action of
our distinguished chief executive
Is result, not the cause, of our
turning our eyes as. a nation to
the needs and possibilities of
country life. The commission re-
ports upon all phases of country
life and all means of improve
ment, but already it reports that
the basic answer to nearly every
question is after all education.
And it is of the educational needs
| wish to speak to you today.
School Education" Not All.
When we mention "Educa-
ton we nearly all of us think of
school education" though, as a
matter of fact, the school is only
one of the means, the most i'm
portant single means, but not at
all the only means. So [ will
speak first Of the school and then
Of the general community instru-
mentalities, as they appear here
in Washington. But | must say
at the outset that for the educa-
ton of the boy and girl of school
age, country life itself is one of
the finest educational agencies of
which | know. 1t doesn't take
the place of books, and knowl-
edge of the sciences and arts, but
in and Of itself | know of moth
ing which offers a better, more
wholesome or more effective
means of education than life on
the farm.
Opportunities on the Farm.
Education is the result of re-
actions on the mind. These reac-
tions may come from words and
books and pictures it is true, but
they may also come from things
The crops and animals and activi-
ties of the farm offer the most
varied, and the most stimulating
means of such mental develop
ment. | should like to explain
how this occurs and impress upon
you its importance, but | cannot
now do so. But the key to the
accumulated stock of knowledge.
past and present, is to be found
in books. And pitiable, indeed,
with all his shrewdness and men
tai force will the country boy be
and become if he does not use
the school and use it well. And
first of all and most important of
all he must be we'll grounded in
the rudiments.
The Three RS"
We laugh at the three Rs, but
there is almost a round world
within them. The country boy
and girl, as all others, must learn
to read well, that is, he must be
trained in the understanding and
use of his mother tongue. Half
the curriculum, and more, during
the elementary year, in the var
ious courses of reading and writ
ing, composition and grammar, is
devoted to getting a mastery of
language, through which so much
of the world Of knowledge gets
into the boys head and so much
of his life finds expression. And
he must know arithmetic thor
oughly, both as a means of I'M
derstanding and Of dealing with
his environment. And he must
know as much of the world and
it's people, apart from his own
neighborhood, as he can get hold
of through books of geography
and history and the instruction of
his teachers.
Agriculture the Neglected Field.
All these he must know. And
so far as the theory and practice
goes, these elements have been
well wrought out for the school,
both rural and CITY RIlt there is

Some say "There is too much in
the school course already" What
of it, if there are not the right
things or the best things Others
say, eve haven't teachers who
can teach agriculture" Then get
them ready to do it. | do not
mean that the school ma am
should teach Mary how to milk
the cow, or Johnny how to har-
ness the horse or hoe in the gar
den. That phase of rural educaJ
ton is usually well taught at
home-better taught than the
teacher could do it. If the school
were made up of city boys and
girls who know none of these
things then such training would
be excellent. But it is not. But
underneath the whole range of
country life there is a body of
knowledge more or less well
known-there is a whole realm Of
scientific principles, there are UNI
discovered worlds as alluring to
the mind, if rightly directed, as
was the unknown world to
Columbus.
Study the Soil.
The soil for example is rich in
its offerings of material for study
which teacher and child alike
may study. Its difference in physi-
cal appearance-black and white
and yellow and red, in consist
ency, now friable and now mucky,
here sandy and gravelly, there
rich with humus, it's difference in
its capacity to hold moisture
where coarse or fine or due to its
composition, it's difference in per-
hitting water to percolate
through it whether in different
soils or in the same soil different
ly manipulated, it's fertility or in
| fertility-these and a hundred
other points about soils afford the
very best food for mental growth
So does the growing plant. What
are its parts? How does it grow?
Where and how does it get it's
| food? What is the effect of light
on it? Of darkness? of too much
or too little water? How does a
disease or a parasite fasten itself
on it and with what result? What
is the effect of tillage and lack
of tillage? Of crowding plants
close together? Of fertilizing?
And the domestic animals are an
ever present and ever interesting
source Of study and Of mental de-
velopment.
Studies in Farm Life.
The classification Of breeds of
horses, cattle, SWINE and sheep,
the characteristics of each, the
relation Of these characteristics
to use, as for example the Short
horn for beef and the Jersey for
milk. The plantation of fruit
trees, their propagation-prun-
ing, culture, protection from in
sects, the varieties Of fruit, etc,
etc, give a never ending means
of educating the youth of the
rural life and things. 1t trains
the pupil in the constant use of
the Scientific Method" which
will follow him throughout life. 1t

Education at Home.

There is not better means of

about us if they are rightly used.

Consolidate Rural Schools.

To have good rural schools they
must be large enough to lay the
basis of good work. A very small
school is nearly always a poor
school Better be large enough
for two or more grades. To this
end the rural schools should be
consolidated. Districts should be
re-organized along Typographical
lines and the area included be en-
larged. To this end means for
hauling the children to the school
center should be provided. To
this end Good Roads" should be
built. In fact the consolidated
school is an impossibility without
the construction Of good roads.
With it the efficiency of the school
would be increased fourfold and
the saving in the cost of instruc-
ton would more than pay for the
cost of collecting the children
and returning them to their
homes. Longer tenure of the
teacher.
We should reach the point
where the same teacher should

abroad said Senator McCumber of
North Dakota yesterday.
II am not in favor of such commits
sion having power to change rates of

bility. If a proper commission had
prepared facts for the last session of
congress, there would have been no
need for the great disturbance over the
tariff revision
lis there much feeling in the North
west over the tariff fght?" Senator
McCumber was asked.
"Only what has been stirred up by
the twin city papers" he said.
THE city papers, all of them, have
attacked the tariff bill without regard
to facts or details.
They have denounced it with the
most sweeping generalities, without
knowing anything as to the facts"
How does the northwest feel to-
ward the administration? was asked
of the North Dakota senator.
4 do not see how Minnesota can
support President Taft for renomina-
ton after the course it has taken in
denouncing the tariff bill which the
president has defended" hs said, Il
believe North Dakota is behind the
president
Senator McCumber declared that the
tariff bill had been misrepresented in
the Northwest and that the people
would find it to be good, substantial
reduction of the tariff
1.-THE press would not accept the
statements that it is good average
reduction, however, and has persistent
~ held out the view that the tariff had
not been substantially reduced" said
Mr.. McCumber.
Did not Senators Aldrich, Burrows.
Lodge and others declare on the floor
of the senate that the party had never
promised to revise the tariff down
ward?" Senator McCumber was asked.
That was the most foolish thing
they could have done he returned
with spirit But because Of those
signal statements the press should not
go on misrepresenting the bill, and
misrepresenting those who supported
the measure"

WATER FAMINE
in S. DAKOTA
GOVERNMENT PREDICTS THAT
MANY ARTEsIAN WELLS WILL
DEPLETE SUPPLY.

thousand artesian wells are drawing,
approximately, 100000 gallons of
water per day from the underground
basins of South Dakota between the
Missouri river and the eastern boun-
Cary of the state A report issued to-
day by the geological survey, covering
a thorough examination of geological
and underground water conditions in
South Dakota, predicts that this great
draft upon the water resources Of tire
state must, in time, materially dim; ~
the artssian supply.
There is a large group of flowing
wells also at Belle Fourche and re-
Gently other wells have been opened
in the valley of the Bad river. The
experts Of the geological survey have
found no evidence as yet of the failure
OF individual wells because OF the lack
OF water, but they express belief that
in the future the continued flow from
so many outlets will have its effect.
/. South Dakota has a sandstone for
nation many. hundreds of feet thick,
which saturated with excellent water
and furnishes good pressure for artes-
ian wells all through the state. Many
wells opened within the last few years
and which were depended upon for
the supply Of ranches and communities
in the state, have failed. All such
cases that could be reached were in
vestigated by the geological surveys
experts. and local conditions were
found to have been at fault each time.
The clogging of wells and the leak
age from improper construction are
said to have caused the majority Of
failures. In no case has the real water
supply given out.

vey presents in detail the data col
lected as to the geological formations
