The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-07-02


: the school houses are left at the
close OF the school year. In many
cases the filth and litter present in
dlcate plainly that they were not tidy
or clean In recent years, and broken
windows and open doors show a
carelessness about their condition in
Keeping with the filth with which
they abound. All are not of this
type, but they are shockingly and
disgracefully common.
This condition of the school
houses not only shows them unfit to
serve as a means Of creating higher
ideals In those children who come
from unsanitary and uncomfortable
homes. but 1t shows an Indifference
and disrespect for those things for
which the school should always
stand.
We Must Strive for q Better Home
Life.
1t Is doubtful II better crops and
a better agriculture will come except
as result Of desire for a better
home life. Man Is largely a selfish
animal. and until he has q desire for
more and greater home comforts he
will not strive effectively for better
crops.
The common rural school is the
present hope Of the South and in in
creasing its efficiency and adding to
the length of the school term we are
building up the greatest power for
uplifting the masses and making
our land truly prosperous. 1t Is
true that better schools, good roads,
comfortable. sanitary homes and all
the other things which go to make
up happy and prosperous rural life
can never be procured and maipta
ed until the average earnings Of the
men doing the work on the farms
are increased. but a strong desire
for these things and the knowledge
OF how to obtain them must origi-
nate In the rural school. 1t Is true
that no profound knowledge Of ag-
riculture will ever be taught in the
common rural school, but an intro
duction to this knowledge and the
awakening Of desire for 1t must
start In the home or in the rural
school. 1t will not be given in a
large number OF homes because too
many parents do not themselves pos
sess 1t. and in such cases the rural
school Is the only hope. When we
SO re-arrange and reconstruct our
rural school textbooks so as to give
the pupils little better insight into
their daily work and the value Of a
better home life. we shall have taken
the first step.
This first step. like nearly all 9TH
err first steps. seems hard for the
school teachers to take; but after a
few more years Of talk" we shall
act, and when the child in the rural
school Is shown a few new and in
teresting facts about the things he
has been familiar with all his life,
his interest will be aroused. Moth
ing will more quickly attract the at
tention OF child or more firmly
hold 1t than to be shown that there
are interesting facts, which he had
never heard Of. connected with the
very things by which he has been
surrounded all his life. When our
school books are based on the sub
iocts surrounding and oDtoripp into

Equitable. 1t is better, too, to do
your own irrigating, and not depend
upon the rains
Too much water is worse than not
enough. For myself, personally, I
prefer what is called a dry year, be-
cause then l can give my plants just
the necessary amount of water, and |
have the assurance that | shall not
suffer from over-production on the
part of the trucker who depends upon
nature to do all his irrigating for him.
This sort of trucker must, inevitably.
fail to produce good crops on dry
year, and the man who Goes his own
lrrigating gets, accordingly, a better
price for his produce. Louisiana

Kahn Not Strong Enough
to Secure a Hearing
ut This Session.

The Picayune makes the following
statement in its news columns:
On his return from Washington
Sunday morning Mr.. T. P. Thomp.
son, chairman of the executive com.
mittee of the Worlds Panama Expo
sition Company, issued the following
statement which explains itself in de-
tail, and shows exactly what the con.
ditions are in Washington to-day in
regard to the selection of the exposi-
tion site for the celebration of the
completion of the Panama Canal in
| 1915:
1.-THE kilograms from Mr.. Nc
Carthy, employed by the executive
committee to represent the World 8
Panama Exposition Company, and
from Congressman Broussard on Tues
day last. asking me to come to Wash
ington, were based on what, at that
time, was good information. 1t ap-
peared that Representative Kahn, of
San Francisco. had Dragged that he
had secured majority Of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs to agree to
bring out the California resolution
with favorable report Thursday.
Through the efforts of Congress
man Broussard, Ransdell and Wick
life, and the work on that House
committee by Congressman Garner,
of Texas, our friend, the Russian
atrocity matter was allowed to pre-
cede and take the time of the COM
mittee," continued Mr.. Thompson.
However," he said, ''it was well
that We were there before the COM
mittee. as was shown by that body
taking up, Immediately after the jew
ish hearing, the exposition matter,
On a vote to consider the Panama
Exposition at special meeting to be
held the next day it was proven that
Kahn's strength was not sufficient,
for it was agreed that the matter lay
over.
"We have three Republican men,
bers,' said Mr.. Thompson, in going
further into detail on the subject, "of
that committee of nineteen and eight
Democrats-one Democrat is away.
Congressman Broussard is alert and
in touch with these gentlemen, as are
the other Louisiana congressman, and
Mr.. Mccarthy, who is favorably
known and we'll liked, and who keeps
right in with sources Of information.
We have also the active work of Mr..
Stadden, Of the Picayune; Mr.. Brown,
Of the Item, and Mr.. Watkins, of the
States, all enthusiastic logical point
workers, so we may be sure that every
movement is closely watched.
Nothing further can be done with
the committee membership now"
added Mr.. Thompson. ''The dispsi-
tion, even by several who are not
favorable to New Orleans, is to not
report on any exposition resolution,
because such resolution would have
no chance to pass the House. The 1
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Fos-
ter, of Vermont, thinks this way, so
/ feel that all is right for New Or
leans, and that there will be no ac-
tion by this Congress on the Panama
Exposition.
