Let Us press home this week the
Importance Of better schools in the
country districts. This month while
the trained educators of the state,
our Governor and other officials and
prominent citizens are conducting a
campaign for progress and develop
ment In the schools, let our farmers
unions join In the discussions and
give to This important feature of our
declaration of purposes real solid
support.
We need never hope to be an effec-
tive business organization. SO long as
Ignorance and prejudice prevail.
When we have shown to our fellow
citizens that We can take hold of the
things around our door steps and
work effectively for the uplift OF our
communities. then we will command
the respect and sympathy, and gain
the hearty cooperation of all good
citizens.
I would not for a moment discount
the great good that can be accom-
plished by Statewide. and interstate
cooperation, nor the big plans some
Of our leaders have for financing the
cotton crop. but neighborhood CO.
operation willy have to precede this
wider ainalgamation--for how can
you amalgamate or unite what does
not exist?
Therefore. We the rank and file,
and minor officers of the union must
stress education and community Of
interests In season and out of season,
''line upon line. precept upon precept:
here a little and there a little." and
by example prove to the doubling
ones that In "unity there is strength
and that farmers will stick.
This shall be the burden Of the
messages will try to impress upon
the farmers of another county where
have been invited to speak this week
and from these little seed grains of
truth we trust to see the Farmers
Union grow into a great tree that will
refresh man and beast and birds. by

high school, agricultural or not,
should fit it's pupils for the life that
they will lead. The duty of fitting
the few, 1, 2, or 10 per cent, by spe-
cial training for college entranceI
must fall upon the few who are toy
enjoy the advanced education, or the
colleges must adjust their entrance
requirements to the existing status.
The training of ninety boys who
are to go no farther than the high
school, must not be dwarfed or mis-
shapen because of the ten OK less who'
may perhaps enter college.
In particular is this true of the
agricultural high school. 1t cannot
aim in both directions. What it Of
iers it must give we'll and thorough
~ but the choice Of subject matter
Tor the curriculum must not be domi-
'ateo py the entrance requirement of
any college, but must be made entire
ly subservient, to the needs of the
farmers life.
hamilton Wright Mabie has de-
fined culture as the process by which
man comes into possession of his
own nature and into real and fruitS,
ful relations with the world about
him.. 1t should give as much knowl-
edge and training as is implied in the
definition of DR.. Mabie just quoted.
therefore, we must retain as MANY as
possible of the most pertinent of the
subjects of the high school of today
whose function is not filled by the
neWly-introduced subjects, and there
by avoid reducing the agricultural
nigh school to a mere trade school.
II is impossible to be specific in this
regard because conditions vary i'm
olHerent sections as to the training
previously received by the pupils in
the lower schools. In no case. how
ever. is there time or need for Greek
or Latin, mathematics higher than
geometry, and rarely for modern lam
Suage except the mother tongue.
While there is unquestionably great,
value in these disciplinary subjects,
there are many other subjects which
furnish useful, practical knowledge
as we'll as mere discipline, which not
only develop power to reason but
power to reason about things con-
corning which the pupil will in life
reason, and which draw him toward
life rather than separate him from
it,"

n Question About Your Public
School Teacher.
Public
Does She Think She Cannot Teach
Agriculture, But Can each His
tory, Geography and Physio-

COiy, geography ana PnySlO-
logy?-Why?
One Of the greatest obstacles TO
agricultural teaching in our country
schools is the diffidence of the teach
er, who because she has not herself
been taught agriculture, thinks that
she cannot teach it to others. She
can teach agriculture successfully. as
1 have seen demonstrated in many
instances; and / believe that / have
frequently led them to go on in my
teachers institute and summer school
work, by calling their attention to the
fact that to teach some agriculture.
they need not know all agriculture.
and that if they can teach to their
pupils few facts or principles, that
they do not already know, that it
matters not if the pupil knows a few
kinks and turns about handling a
plow or a mule that the teacher does
not know.
Il wonder, as a matter Of fact. if
our teachers who have conscientious
ly and thinklngly studied a good text
book, do not know as large per
cent of the knowledge, teachable, ag-
riculture as that same reader knows
which she thinks herself amply able
to teach?"

TWO BIG QUESTIONS AND AN H..
ILLUMINATING STATEMENT.
Three Notable Extracts From a Not
able Address Which Country Teach
ers, Pupils and Patrons All Should
Study-Here They Are.


In recent address before the
American Association of Farmers
Institute Workers. DR.. F. l.. Stevens
delivered a notable message on agri-
cultural education, two or three ex-
tracts from which are so effectively
stated and comprise so much truth
in so little space that they ought to
be memorized by all country teach
ers and by their patrons and pupils
as we'll. One treats briefly but thor
oughly of the evolution of our edu-
cational system, another points out
the folly OF preparing ten pupils for
college instead of preparing ninety
for life, and the third points out the
absurdity Of teacher arguing that
she cannot teacn agriculture when
Gf she nas studied the textbook
properly she probably knows a great
deal more of the ENJOYABLE, teacha-
BILE things" about agriculture than
of the movable, teachabIe things
about history, geography, or physiol-
ogy-subjects which she regards her
self as thoroughly competent to ham
die. Here are the three paragraphs
from DR.. Stevens address and we re-
peat that we cannot commend them
too earnestly to our country teach
ers, and their patrons and pupils as

MENT ABOUT EDUCATION.
Some Patent Truths About How Our
Educational System Developed and
Why the Old Ideas Are Not Adapt-
ed to Our Modern Needs and Ideas.

Educational System Developed and
Why the Old Ideas Are Not Adapt-
ed to Our Modern Needs and Ideas.
Our present public school system.
common, high, college, and university,
is an outgrowth, an evolution. from
preceding systems.
cd 1t came to us from an age
during which education was for the
aristocrat, hence was largely of or
nate, esthetic, fashionable content.
"(2) 1t passed through a phase
when education was for the priest,
during which epoch it became heayi-
ly tinctured with subjects appertain-
ing to the priesthood.
"(3 1t developed into a system
htted for the learned professions of
law and medicine, and was cores
spondingly modified. And since the
chief ancient source of knowledge
was the ancient languages, and, more
over, since both law and theology
and in the earlier periods. medicine.
toQ-required constant return to
these original sources. Latin and
Greek became fixed colhponents of
the educational system
Thus was the system of education
slowly evolved through the centuries
and adapted to those who were to
follow the learned professions or the
life of ease. From this condition.
with the advent of the public school
and education for all, were derived
cur present system. The change of
needs, historically considered, was
sudden. 1t was an educational cata-
clysm. Evolution could not keep
pace, and We find the system that is
struggling TO survive today full of
vestigial characters, useless except for
toXenamic purpose Progressive
