A FARMER BOYS PROBLEMS.
IV.-Spending Your Money for an
Education-The Best Investment a
Boy Can Make.

Week before last, DR.. Butler, in
has talk on "Cultivating the Reading
Habit" summed up the whole matter
in one sentence that you will do we'll
to remember:
''THA man who reads thinks; and
,Io man who thinks has power"
Pre- dent Barrett, Of the Farmers
Union, expresses a similar idea when
ho SAYS 1T Is the educated few who
rule in this or any other country"
With these two sentences, then, as
sort of text, let me talk to you for
just a little while about how it
pays to invest some Of the money
you are making right now-and a
good big part of your time--in edu-
eating yourself, in preparing your
self to be one of the men who rule,
one of those who think, and one,
who because he thinks. has power.
1 believe that money spent by any
bright, earnest farm boy for a text
book on agriculture, or for any good
book that will teach him things he
needs to know, is money invested just
as truly as If he had put it into live
stock or machinery or fertilizers:
and in many cases 1t will bring him
far bigger returns than will almost
| any other investment.
Certainly money and time put into
schooling-at the rural public school
at the high school or at the college
are money and time well spent. I
believe II should be the ambition Of
| every boy to go to college. Every
| boy Will not get to go. of course, but
| the nearer he comes to going the
better. If he only prepares himself
To enter good college. he has done
much. And If boy starts out early
with the determination to go, he can
pretty nearly do 1t. Boys have work
ed and saved their money for years
for that one purpose, and when they
hnally succeeded in completing the
course, have found themselves able
to earn two or three times as much
as they could before. No money is
better spent, even from a purely busi-
ness standpoint, than that spent for
an education.
The short courses in agriculture,
OF which editorial mention was made
last week, offer great opportunity
to many boys who ere unable To
to take full college course, but who
wish to prepare themselves better
Tor their life work. Last year in
wisconsin 500 young and old farm
ers attended the short courses given
by the State University; and there
should be two or three hundred boys
in every Southern State getting ready
right now to take the same such
course this winter
Indeed, getting an eduCation-and
by education" / mean not merely
the knowledge gathered from your
school books, but preparation for
your life work and for right living
should be hoys' main object in life
! According to whether or not he pre-
pares In his youth to do the work
that men have to do is he like
~ TO succeed or fail when he becomes
a man. Therefore, count the money
AS we'll as the time and thought
you put into the training of your
mind or the development OF your
