pie had lacked this training and were
still behind. But they were dvanc
ing. and he believed that such 1nstl-
tutions as Hampton and
were doing immense good by seno1ng
out men who knew something OF ag-
r%fculture as an industry in which skill
was useful and who had acquired the
habit of steady and assiduous work.
Every one who came from those in
situations was a pioneer among the
more backward members of his race,
helping to lead them inward. What
he seen made him hopeful that
with encouragement and extended IA
cilities for industrial training the
colored people would become more eff
fcient workers. Every Improvement
in their intelligence n in self-respect
helped a man by increasing his wants.
He was no longer content with bare
subsistence. He began to desire a
better house and better clothes. He
sought to have some Of the comforts
as we'll as the necessaries of life. This
gave him a motive for working more
steadily; and the more he worked and
the more he gained, and the more he
saved by thrift, the more did he de-
sire to possess the more did he buy,
the better customer did he become.
The great need for the progress Of
agriculture was a still ampler applica-
ton of scientific knowledge to farm
ing operations. Since the invention Of
the implements such as the plough
and the spade and the cart thousands
of years ago., no changes have taken
place in the sphere Of agriculture
to those which chemistry
has introduced by it's analysis Of the
constituents of the soil and the way
treating them. Think Of what has
been done not only for the fields but
by physiology for our knowledge Of
animals, for better methods of breed
