EFFICIENT EDUCATION.

The education Of the girls and boys
for efficiency i'm the affairs of life
the practical kind of training-has be-
come a marked tendency of the edu-
cati0nai inStitut ions not only of this
country. but the old world. 1t has
even made it's way into the academic
shades of the colleges and the univer-
stiles where tradition bound ideas of
culture and refinement have made
certain educators look upon IA ''bread
and butter" education with IL feeling
akin to horror.
Vocational courses must become
more popular, especially with the
youth of the country-w whose parents
are unable to give them long classi-
cal courses in the larger colleges and
universities. These latter institu-
tons have their place in educational
work but have for the greater part
been INSTRUCTED. In thousands of
cases they have united rather than
fitted their graduates for the bat
tie oil life.

comforts, Il third less hours of la
Dor and far less exposure.


Mr.. Cobum says that agricultur. is
a trade to be learned as much as any
other: "a fact which the reformer
and the philanthrOpist seem constant
~ to overlook" He knows no reason
why man who knows nothing about
farming. and who has not succeele Il
in anything. should expect success on
the farm. There would be more
chance. Of course, for those who are
already making their own way, but
people do well only what they have
learned to do. Mr.. Coburn says:
AS rule it takes Il farmer to
succeed on farm, just us it takes
good clerical man or Office man
to succeed in positions of that
kind. \ farmer can't move into
town and 60 into an office and
make himself Indispensable, nor
can you go out of one of those Of
fees and 20 onto the farm and
make Il success. The probability
is that in five years you would
starve out and would be seeking
your old position or something
lower. Take the population of
large department store. for exam
pie, and set it down on the soil.
What do you think the result
would be? 1t would not be any
thing pleasant, | can assure you.
Perhaps ten or fifteen per cent of
those who might try it would be
bpnetited.''
President Brown Of the New York
Central railroad, WHO is not without
practical knowledge of agriculture. is
SO strongly of the opinion that there
should be Il back-tO-the-farm move
ment that he has suggested that land
now neglected be bought by capital
lists and sold on easy terms to men
prepared to work it. Some, and per-
haps Mr.. Brown himself. would favor
doing even more for the men who
start life anew on the farm, provid-
ing implements and live stock. to be
paid for on easy terms.
neNchange of views between the
New York railroad man and the Kan
sas secretary Of agriculture would be
interesting and instructive. Mr.. Co.
burn does not believe that there is
any farm problem due to lack Of
farmers or to necessity for bringing
all the available land under cultlya-
.tion within the next few years If
there is such problem, it will reg
ulate itself in Il wholesome and ma
tural way. AS there is need for it,
the farms will be cut up and subdi-
vided." There will be more and bet
ter farmers in the future than ever
before. because farming is to be
made more attractive and more re-
munerative.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITSON.

The business men of San Francisco
and New Orleans are working to
have the great International Expo
sitiOn Of 1915 located at their respec-
tive cities. The Frisco advocates,
however, seem the more energetic,
and at frequent intervals are sending
circulars broadcast showing the de-
STABILITY Of the big show on the Pac-
tic coast. Among other reasons, the
coast men advance the facts that New
Orleans recently put 81 .ooo, 900 worth

THE BACK=TO=THE=FARM PLAN.

Whenever most of the people be-
gin to feel the pinch of high prices
for the necessities of life, and when,
as is the case now, the margin be-
tween home production of food crops
and home consumption is narrowing,
there is disposition to look to a
baek-to-the-farm movement as Il way
ont for those who find the problem of
life III towns increasingly difficult.
Some have apparently thought that
almost anyone, no matter how com
plete his failure to make Il living else
where. could succeed on a farm. This.
of course, is not the view Of those
having expert knowledge of the bust
ness Of farming. +. ID. Coburn, who
has long held the position Of secre-
tary of agriculture in Kansas, and
who likes his work so well that he
has declined an appointment as Unit
ed states senator, says that ono great
er disaster could come to the masses
in the cities than to dump them out
onto the farms" lie thus explains
why he cannot see any hope for the
crowd in general movement toward
the land:
'All these people have IN the
main come as near finding their
groove as they ever will. Most
of this back -to-the-SOil' talk we
hear is based OH the ridiculous
and wholly untenable theory en-
tertalned by so many dreamers

cites table published in Whitaker's
Almanac to show that. in the 80 wears
during which Great Britain has had
free trade, wages have increased S1.7
per cent and prices only per cent. If
these figures be correct, then wages
10 years ago were fearfully low and
out OF all proportion with prices.
Representative Hamilton Of Michigan
furnishes table which, as printed in
the Congressional Record, tells to-

sents comparison of wages for an

It now appears that the dog was

Hunter had no authority to take the
dog into custody. much less to kill it.
