TEACH THEORY ONLY
Expert Declares Ditch Digging

Learned at College.

BOSTON, July 6.-The boy who

agriculture in the country, according
to D. ]. Crosby of Washington d. c.,
a specialist in agricultural education,
who spoke before the department OF
rural and agricultural education Of the
National Education Association con-
vention today. There are 500 more Sec
ondary schools and colleges today

eighteen months ago. he said, but they
teach theory only.
Prof. G. F. Warren OF Cornell Uni
versity expressed the opinion that the
farmer without an agricultural educa-
tfon was headed for the poorhouse
He quoted figures to show that COL
iege-bred farmers averaged $s47 yearly
income, against an average of only
1913 for the farmers whose education
had been limited.
Too Hard for High School.
Most of the teachers used the idea
he said. that any fool could farm. Now
they say agriculture is too difficult fol

Arthur ID. Dean of the New York state
educational department, addressing the
department of manual training. "A
portion of agricultural and industrial
practice can be expressed in mathe-

He told the department that en-
ployes must permit boys and girls to
preservation of American citizenship.
That uniform college entrance re-
quirements hampered schools of all
classes was the declaration made by
H. L. Terry. state high school in
spector of Madison. Wis, before the
department of science education.

BOTH ARE vERMoNrERs.

One feature Of some previous govern
orship campaigns in Vermont is lacking
during the present lineup Of the voters.
i is the charge that New Yorker or
man from some other state is trying
to slip in and run off with the highest
Office in the state. Both the leading
candidates are Vermont men through
and through, 50 completely that not
even the greatest stickler for nome cam
didates can find fault. Mr. Watson,
the Democratic nominee, was born in
st. Adams and has passed all his life
there; while DIR. Mead, though born in
Fair Haven, has not drifted far from
Rutland during his threescore years and
ten. So, for native som candidates
there is no lack during the present year,
and consequently no chance for narrow
persons to carp about a n-Vermonter
having the presumption to try to be
governor. The cry Vermont for Yer
monters has no place, by virtue Of the
conditions as they exist; as, indeed, it
should have no place in any campaign,
provided candidate has lived long
enough in the state to imbibe some Of
the states spirit and to give evidence
that he intends to make Vermont his
