country that greatest of all work, the
making Of a homes will be placed on
a basis of thorough training where
heretofore it has been a matter OF en-
tire absence of knowledge Of the task
in hand.
The advantages of technical training
have long been recognized throughout
the country. There is. for instance.
the case OF the Newark technical high
school. 1t has kept a record Of it's
5000 graduates. These men got their
training by attending night school
while they worked in factories. In
the beginning the so styled skilled
mechanic received $40 TO $50 a week
Today the figures show that the aver
age wage Of the graduates OF the
school 45 years old is S66 a week. Such
results as these are convincing
Students Of agricultural conditions
realize that the possibilities OF scien-

that made the last generation seek
better lands in Kansas and Dakota is
driving the present generation to seek
better, returns from the old lands
through a new and better farming. 1t
Is proving to be a more profitable pro-
cess than that of moving on to the
frontier There are unlimited possi-
bilities from it and the end need never
come: The fact is cited that in Ger
many, where the land has been farmed
for thousand years, the average
yield per acre in wheat is 2S
bushels, while on the comparatively
but 13 bushels. Also in Germany the
demonstration farm is to be found in
every community.
Willet H Hays, assistant secretary
of agriculture. has spent many years
in working out the system now pro-
posed. The bill now on the verge of
passing is the result OF his labor and
enthusiasm. The whole people have
long recognized the necessity OF giving
this direction to the schools. 1t has
been done here and there fitfully. The
present plan is to place on a national
basis that sort of education that has
proven so effective in many individual
cases in this country and which has
been worked out in so many countries
of Europe on a national basis, notably
in Germany
There seems no possibility OF the bill
failing of passage at the present term
of congress. Should it fail IL would
but appear again next fall, and contin-
uously until 1t is enacted into law. It

result aimed at is a greatly improved
race, better living conditions. greater
prosperity through a greater produc-
tion.
The committee on agriculture of the
senate, under the guidance of Chair
man Dolliver, is unanimously in favor of
a proposed bill having this end in view,
and there is not an enemy to it on the
senate side. Through legislative COM
mittee hearings the voice of the people
has been heard, and that voice is prac-
tically unaniomus. The bill is about to
go over to the house side, where it was
first introduced, but was not allowed to
come out of committee. There are
three men in the house side who op-
pose the bill. They are Speaker Can
non and Representatives Tawney and
Scott, whom he controls through com
mittee appointments. The latter is
chairman of the house committee on
agriculture. These men have not al
lowed the bill to come to a vote. Rep
resentative Davis Of Minnesota was re-
moved from his position on the com
mittee on agriculture because he insist
ed on this. But when the bill comes
over from the senate, with its accumu-
lation of Endorsements, its progress can
not be stopped by the few men who
oppose IT.
The first step OF the vocational edu-
cation act recognizes the fact that
teachers are not available to carry on
the work that the bill intends to in
augurate. 1t, therefore, appropriates
$1,00o.000 a year to be placed in normal
schools and used in instructing pros
pective teachers in agriculture, trades,
industries and home economics. 1t is
expected that in two years there will
be sufficient instructors available to
start the main features of the work.
Therefore, the main features of the
bin can not be operative until 1913.
At that time an additional $4,000, 900
year will be available Roughly. this
will give $4,000 a year to each con-
gressional district, or 400 schools for
the entire country. In the farming
districts $4,000 of the money will be
ASCN III 4iidAuLdlulLB an AGRICULTURAL
high school and $1,000 in maintaining
a demonstration farm. In the city dis
tricts the whole fund will be used for
instruction in trades, industries and
home economics. But every community
in the nation, city or country, will have
its industrial school
These national funds are given con-
ditionally. The districts receiving
them must raise an amount equal to
them and must provide grounds, build
ings and equipment. The federal money,
as stated in the bill, is to be used for
instruction only. This assures the
national government that in every case
there will be an adequate fund for the
maintenance of a creditable institution.
The national government has proved
that this scheme will work AS early
as 1862. under the Merrill act, the fed
eraI government appropriated funds for
the maintenance of colleges of agricul-
ture and mechanical arts. Each state
now gets $4,000 to be used for this
purpose, the appropriations having in

Congress is now in the very act of

Prof W. J. SpiIlman, in charge Of
the farm management work Of the de-
.partment Of agriculture. is one of the
!. big men Of the government service and
with few peers in his appreciation Of
the intimate needs Of the people. In
relation TO this bill he said:
This is the most important piece Of
Legislation proposed since the nation
came into being. It means the intelli-
gent molding Of the lives of all the
children that are to come. When it
has been in operation for 20 years
the farmers Of the nation will be
capable Of producing two and a half
times what they now harvest because
the boys win have learned the right
sort Of farming. The home life Of the
nation viii have been made over
through the training Of the girls for
home making. Plenty viii be indef
: nitely assured because Of the increased
productiveness Of the people"
The object Of the new education is to

he is placed. The mass Of educators

Georgia. They are proven success.
There are today In the United States
800, 900 isolated rural schools. OF those
100000 might be consolidated into
10000 larger schools. The remaining
100000 are so situated that they must
remain isolated, but much may be done
in preparing especially fitted teachers

There is among the instructors one

farming. He plants all manner of
things that thrive on the farms of the
neighborhood. Often he induces the
boys to plant larger plats at home and
farm them in competition under his di
rection. The boys interest is natu-

going on about him than in the alb

basis of the vocational education idea

a scale. In this original plan the
states were required to furnish sums

fact, they have voluntarily provided
sums that have amounted to 10 times
those required by the law. In every
case the federal fund has merely proved
a nucleus around which a great inSti-
tuition has developed. This agricultural
and mechanical work has proved the
most popular education in the nation.
Educators, therefore, hold that it is
proved that additional amounts appro-
priated by the government for this sup
Elementary education will be greatly
augmented in each locality receiving 1t.
In this way two links in a voca-
tional education are assured. The state
university supplemented by the normal
school is provided for Then the pres
ent bill provides for the agricultural
or mechanical high school. The third
link is the consolidated rural school,
the best school in the nation today and
one that is developing rapidly in maiiy
farming communities.
The consolidated rural school is
formed by bringing together a number
of small district schools. Five schools
of 30 pupils each may be combined into
one school of 100 pupils. This central
big school may be well built, we'll

with three teachers of special training

to employ five inferior teachers. The

school where the teacher has third

compIishments under the instruction
of the department of agriculture may
be cited Boys were set to work on
an acre each of corn farmed under
direction in dozen states. The av-
erage yield in these states has been Is
bushels to the acre. The boys har-
vested SO bushels to the acre and one
lad got 152 bushels off an acre which
his father had farmed for 20 years
with. never a return of more than 20
bushels Much of the cotton land in
the south yields light crops because
the soil has been exhausted by lack
of rotation of crops. "A single year in

them he will wax prosperous and the
nation will benefit.

both city and country. With the or
ganization of the consolidated rural
school an instructor in home economies
may be had. The girls in all the
schools will be taught how ito cook,
how to sew, how to-arrange a house
conveniently, how TO make it sanitary,
how TO yentilate it, what are the nour-
ishing foods. what is the proper cloth
ing for children and a thousand such
things. These are the simple things
that should be known to every wife
and mother, but which have no place in
the education of today.
Present legislation does not directly
affect the studies in the primary grades,
but they will naturally adapt them
selves to the course study higher up.
Consolidated rural schools are not d.
rectly created, but the tendency toward
them will be greatly strengthened by
the legislation.
