read with interest by others. The
author explains that by the term "rural
schools" is meant "not only the schools
in extremely rural districts, but also
those in villages and small towns which
draw largely Oh the adjacent country
for pupils and financial support"
"Failure to take up the teaching of
agric ulture in some form" writes the
author, "has not heretofore meant that
the teacher has been at fault. Local
conditions may have been such as tc
have made it unwise to undertake the
work. However, the point we would
make-and We would make it plain-is
that the rural school teacher is at fault
when he fails to point out to the country
boys and girls, who are his pupils, the
beauties and advantages of the country,
who is constantly directing them city
ward, and whose general demeanor and
conversation is such as to make them
dissatisfied with their surroundings.
Not that we would have our boys and
girls blndfolded, not a bit of it, We
would not have them remain on the
farm just because they were born or
reared there, but we would have these
boys and girls receive the kind of in
struction that would be Of value to them
should they decide to remain there"
Not only is the need of agricultural
instruction pointed out, but there are
suggestions as to how to interest the
boys and girls in the study of the soil
and growing things. In addition, there
are special chapters by men prominent
in rural school work. In one of these

This year he had two fields of alfalfa,

The FoiIer Fooled.

Recently II young man bet another
that he could not break an egg placed
on the floor Of their room by hitting 1t
with a barrel. The second young man
promptly took the bet.
Thereupon the first young man care
fully placed an egg in a corner of the
room, just where the walls made a
right angle, so that it was impossible
for the other to hit the egg with an
ordinary barrel.
Then the first young man proceeded
70 gloat.
But the other suddenly produced a
revolver and broke the egg by tapping
it smartly with the barrel Of the weap-
on. Then he demanded the money.
There vas quite a dispute naturally.
Finally the two agreed to submit the
question to the editor of a sporting pa
per. In due time the answer came.
The sporting authority decided that the
second young man was the winner Of
the bet, since the other had not speci-
fed in any way what kind Of barrel
should be used for the destruction Of
the egg.-New York Times.
