an educational standpoint? In Ger
many and France they changed their
methods of instruction twenty five
years ago. They added practical ed
ucation for the boys and girls so that
they were equipped for something be-
sides society" when they got through
school They were equipped to earn
an honest living with their hands. In
Germany and France they combine
with theoretical instruction something
along practical lines that will fit the
boy and the girl to make living. In
England they have the same system Of
education that We have, and today
100000 or more idle men walk the
streets OF its cities without anything to
do. To be sure, the tariff may have
had something to do with 1t, but in
Germany and France. owing to the
character and quality of the goods
made by the artisans of those coun-
tries they find market all over the
world.
We here in America, because we
have large amounts of raw products,
have been enabled by brute force to

workmen of our country cannot COM
pare with the workmen OF Germany
and France for skill and knowledge.
and that Is because the workmen OF
those countries were taught twenty
five years ago how to do these things
in the public school.
To show you that the people of this
country are awaking up to this fact, let
me say that the Association Of Conn
merce of Chicago. probably the strong
est commercial body In the country
is sending its superintendent OF schools
to Germany to study the method Of
instruction followed in its public
schools because they feel In Chicago
the same way that you feel and the
same way that feel; that the public
schools of this country are not giving
the boys and girls the instruction they
ought to have today.

The Minnesota Bankers association
is giving a good deal of attention to
agricultural education They have gone
to the trouble and expense of sending
q committee to investigate the matter
'This committee examined into con-
ditions both in Minnesota and Wis
kconsin. The conditions are cimilar
Fenough in North Dakota to make the
| report of interest and of value, and
! especially as it came from a body of
conservative business men who are in
terested in the welfare of their state
Below excerpts are given from the
report made by James Chapman, jr
vice president of Northwestern Ma
ttonal bank Of Minneapolis:
Es@ Your committee on agriculture was
appointed at the last meeting of the
FBankers' association at Minnesota, be-
cause of desire on the part of the
Ehankers Of this state in the first place
10 know something about this condi-
zion in our state, and secondly to see
AZ there was any way in which we
Irould help adjust it,
We took UP the work assigned to us
with full realization of its magnitude
and the difficulties in the way of OBJ
taining the necessary information and
data upon which to construct conclu-
sions. In the first instance a large
Humber Of letters were addressed to
prominent bankers and citizens
throughout the state, requesting an
awers to certain interrogatories therein
contained. These interrogatories COW
sred generally the subjects of agri-
culture and agricultural education in
Minnesota, and quite a large number
OF replies were received and more or
E1ess useful information was obtained
by this means. We also visited our
own agricultural school as well as the
agricultural school at Madison. Wis,
and collected data and statistics frorl
i number of other sources AS a re-
kult of these investigations and re-
mearches we have arrived at several
general conclusions which win be
stated more or less In detail.
Only One General Scheme.
Probably the matter OF most iTnpor-
kance for consideration Is the fact
frat there is in Minnesota no syste-
matte plan for the giving of instruction

communities. There il only ono gem

Extensive Agricultural Education
Urged By Bankers Of Minnesota

eraI scheme of education in the state
alike for all children, irrespective of
whether they are to be lawyers,
preachers, merchants, farmers Or me-
chanics. If this general scheme leans
In any one direction it is toward fit
ting students for the professional
classes. Practically nothing is being
accomplished in an educational way to
interest children in the farm and farm
life, or in any branch Of agriculture.
We have also been impressed with the
fact that there is practically a total
lack Of interest among school teachers,
especially those in the rural schools,
on the subject of agriculture. Many
OF these rural school teachers coming
from the larger towns and even cities,
find themselves thrust into an environ
ment that is altogether uncongenial
and there lis a consequent lack of SYM
pathy between them and their pupils,
not only as concerns the school work,
but also the method of living. I'm
doubtedly the salaries paid to all
grades Of rural teachers are too small.
An increase in their salaries would re-
suit in the procuring of better teachers
and better results in every department
of instruction.
There is expended annually in the
state of Minnesota for education, the
sum of $14,000,O00 and we are strongly
of the opinion that If a very much
larger portion of this large sum could
be devoted to practical instruction in
agriculture and industrial training, the
standard of our citizenship would be
very materially raised. 1t Is a fact
that a large majority OF our young
men and women, after finishing their
education, however elaborate and
complete, find themselves totally un-
prepared for the battle of life and are
compelled to accept positions of a
character much lower than their in
herent ability deserves. We cannot
too strongly urge the adoption OF an
educational system which will equip
our young men and women with the
sort OF knowledge that can be put to-
some practical purpose.
Urges Agricultural Education.
We made considerable inquiry into
the compulsory agricultural educa-
tional law Of the state of Wisconsin.
