Learn Farming

No boy should make application for
this honor unless he actually wants to
learn moro about agriculture. The
State Fair costs 100000 and is worth
many times that sum to the farmers of
Ohio if they will take advantage of it's
lessons. The following named persons
will select the boy from each county:

If the more promising boys and
girls in every neighborhood, or d
large proportion Of them, grow up
dissatisfied with their environment
and leave for the cities as soon as
possible, an i~ncalculable injury has
been wrought. 1t is a damage to the
agricultural regions and in many
cases to the young people concerned.
h schools and the system which
governs them must accept a large
share Of the blame in this matter. It
is A painful truth, but they annot
hide nor minimize it. In fact. they
have too long tried to evade their re-
sponsibilities and secrete their faults.
One Of the striking defects of our
rural schools is the youthfuiness Of
the teachers. Coupled with inexperi-
ence in many cases, there is a lack Of
interest. Assuming, however, that
every cache has a proper amount of
interest in her school and q devotion
to the cause of education, it is rank
folly to look for practical results or
an extensive scale, from an instructor
sixteen and twenty years Of
age.
Thousands are teaching all over the
west and middle west who are still in
their teens, and who have 40 Va
views of life than they irnbibed while
hurrying through q high chool or
academy course. In the nature OF
things, such teachers cannot impart
reSpect and love for agriculture, a
lofty public spirit. "A taste for home
making, or a Skill which will enable
the young people of the farms to lift
themselves out of the rut in which
their fathers and grandfathers have

Country schools in America are not
rising to the great opportunities which
confront them. They are not keeping
ace with other social Institutions.
Some Of them occupy an ~edIn
low plane. with faults as tiagrant as
could have been pointed u twenty
or thirty years ago.
The faults Of the country school
system are q strong factor in causing
young people to dislike rural life.
Logically, then, they are responsible
in a great degree for the slow prog
ress of our farming communities.
An experience of twelve years as a
teacher OF rural schools has left a
clear impression On my mind Of de-
fects and OF possible remedies in edu-
cational methods and conditions.
