Let it be admitted without hesitation

Let it be admitted without hesitation
that the farmers life is not apt to lead
to wealth and ease and luxury. Very
few lives do If they are your objects
and you deliberately set out to achieve
them, the chances are 90 in the hun
dred that you will fail on the road
If you are the hundredth mantle one
exception-and win them. it is not a
mere chance, it is a certainty that you
will find your whole life has been a
failure, not merely in the road you
have YEARLY travelled but in the end
you have attained.
For neither wealth, nor ease. nor
luxury is the worthy end of a manly
life. They may crafty the craving of
weaklings and degenerates, but never
do they fill the measure of a man.
THE FAR MER
Norwich bulletin., 1911-07-15

For many years I've wondered why
men of education, college men and the
like, should SO unanimously refuse the
farm and the open life of the country.
They plunge into the professions, like
rats into a Pranary; the professions
where statistics show that not one out
of FIVE of them can make a decent
living and not one out of ten a real
place in the world. Or they go into
business where, again, statistics make
it clear that eight out of every ten will
fail wretchedly. In both cases they
seem to be blind to the deplorable
fact that. whichever they go into, they
are casting themselves into the hop
per of a machine in which their ideals
and their high aspiI atoms and most
of that in them which makes for in
dividuality are to be ground up into a
mush of uniformity. There isn't any
one of all the varied occupations a
man may adopt on earth which af-
fords such opportunity for him to
grow along his own lines as the pur
suit of agriculture. Yet these young
men. whose souls ara aflame with
protest against the vulgar conven-
tional turn their backs upon the one
occupation which offers greatest free
dom from conventional trammels, and
choose some other which is hedged
and fenced about with arbitrary laws
and presidents.

1t is rotten nonsense to talk as f
educated men had declined to some
thing below their proper level when
they take up farming. They have sim
ply undertaken a ost-gra duate course
which will call for the exercise and
development of all that is best and
worthiest in them, if they propose TO
get what's really in it out of it. They
have chosen the most natural life there
is-the life least hampered by conven-
tional restrictions, least liable to
manning and mutilation. They have
chosen the most symmetrical life there
is-the one least in danger of becoming
abnormal. They have chosen the life
giving greatest promise of success-if
by success they mean the real thing
and not some gaudily bedizened arti-
fetal imitation

~ do not know of any occupation in
which it is more possible to continue
in connection with the main business
of earning a living that enrichment
and enlargement of the mind which is
the best gift of university life, and its
proper though seldom realized contin-
uation after the university has been
left behind
Right there Mr.. Hill touches a side
of hfe's problem which ought to APP
peal more strongly than seems COM
mon to the eyes of youth. The old
idea that farmer is nothing but a
hoe-smith, dirt-digger, a clod-hop-
per. a drudge in purely physical sia
very has gone out among those who
know. The farmer needs and finds use
for his brains quite as much alarming
as the lawyer does a-lawyering. or the
business man a-huckstering. Further
more, he finds use for about sixteen
more kinds of brains than the profess
sional man or the business man ever
does. In the professions and in bust
ness specializing is the rule and an
essential of success. The man who
do one thing. The special work may
be a great work and the one thing he
does a big thing, but he must restrict
himself to its limits whatever they
may be. Instead of broa dening out he
must narrow himself; instead of ZEN
richment and enlargement of the mind
he must accept something perilously
near atrophy in all but one or two of
its functions. He must prune his life
of all side branches and out spreading
limbs, till it spindles up into a sort of
attenuated f1agpole of a tree instead
of the wide crowned symmetrical per-
lection it might have been. But the
life of the free country and the open
lands invites all there is in a man
forth to grow naturally and equally.
The real call of the modern farmers
work is as much on his mind as his
muscles. One great beauty is that It
builds UP both-the sound mind in the
sound body. One great glory is that it
exercises every. muscle and every fac
ulty of the mind with impartial fair
ness. There is nothing one-sided nor
lop-sided about it. To meet all its
demands and fulfill all it's exactions
one needs all the training he can get
in every possible field of knowledge.
He needs all the experience and skill
he can acquire. He needs all the
ductility of thought and fertility of re-
source he can develop. His whole work
is continuous education, quite as
high and honorable in it's character
and scope as any given in academic

THE GRADUATE AND THE FARM

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
The school and college year has now
closed in its usual blaze OF glory"
From thirteen to thirty thousand stu
dents of different institutions have
graduated Some have taken sheep
skins and some have drawn plain
paper certificates and some have got
nothing to show for their school work
except what may be in their heads.
But they've all finished with the school
room and are now preparing to take
course in real life.
It's the customary thing to poke
gentle fun at these young folks. They
are apt to have high ideals and, also,
rather high opinions of their own abil-
lty. They frequently show themselves
to put it mildly-just a little bit
bumptious. They haven't yet quite
comprised the hemisphere difference
between swagger and dignity-between
over-confidence and self-confidenee.
They too often make themselves ride
ulous in the eyes of older travellers by
their assumptions of superiority.
Therefore, they are easy subjects to
satirize and ridicule and cartoonize.
But. somehow, / haven't any tempta-
ton to laugh at them nor at the trite
and strained ''smartness'' which makes
fun of them. Rather, ! am moved to
profound sympathy with them and to
a painful apprehension, as foresee the
awful mistakes that too many of them
are going to make.
They wonder, most of them, what
they are going to 90 with life. L
wonder-with something of terror in
my wonder-what life is going to do
with them. They have been learning
to swim little in the still inside
waters of the sheltered cove. Now
they must see where they can get
among the breakers and the surf and
the seaweed and the undertow and the
crashing storm waves of the broad
ocean, where there are no life lines for
them to cling to, and no swimming
master to help if they get out of their
depth. Yet, if they are going to reach
their castles in Spain, there are thou
sands of weary miles of buffeting be-
fore them.
And few of them-very, very few of
them, are ever going to reach those
castles of their youthful dreams.
eff youth only knew" signs the old
French proverb. How can it? knowl-
edge is the child of experience, sell
dom of mere teaching. One might as
well expect to raise a two-year-
colt in a minute as to find an old
mans head on a young mans Shout
ders. Nevertheless, we grizzled old
fellows are almost as fond of giving
advice to the lads as they are of tell
ing us how we should have managed
the world when we first took hold of
it. Perhaps it never does any good;
and yet. in some rare exceptions, it
might.

United States. Yet it is this same
James J. Hill who recently wrote in an
article intended for reading in one of
our largest colleges his belief that "A
good many hundred university gradu-
ates in this country every year would
be better off If they had shaped their
studies with view. to agricultural in
dustry. and taken their diplomas
straight to a farm.
Mr.. Hill asserts that the man with a
university education, supplemented by
just such practical instruction as he
would feel essential in any other oc-
cupation,' is certain of success on
the farm in proportion to his industry
and ability. L do not know adds
Mr.. Hill, -'of any other occupation of
which these sweeping assertions can be
made" And then he adds these golden
words:

wALpEN University.

The regular monthly service OF
Walden University was held at Me-
harry Auditorium on Sunday morning,
18th inst, at II o'clock. The stu
dents were in their places, and quite
number of the citizens of Nashville
also attended The sermon was
preached by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, au-
tnor and Secretary Of the Educational
Board of the National Baptist Con-
vention, who took as text st. John
1925, 20: 81 am the resurrection and
the life" etc. AS an Introduction to
his subject, the preacher, by lively
illustration from nature, impressed
his hearers with the fact of the utter
impossibility of concealing their real
inward or spiritual state, affirming
that thorough test which must nee
essarily come, will make that condi-
ton manifest. Then taking ur the
subject in the text, he said that
Christ was called upon to prove the
truth of his profession when called to
restore Lazarus. He further remark
ed that the three characteristics OF
Christ which prominently manifested
themselves on this occasion were the
embodiment of self-control, of self
surrender and of love. In concluding
his address he said: "The virtues of
Christ are received by contact, and II
you will take Him into your lives,
the grave will not mean death to you,
but will be a portal to eternal life
beyond the grave"
Meharry Y. M. G. A. was addressed
at $40 p. m. Sunday afternoon by DR..
Quillian, president Of the local Mis-
sionary Training School of the M. E..
Church, South. The doctor spoke Of
the opportunities within the grasp Of
the well-prepared ytVng man, and OF
the great responsibilities which he
must bear and expressed the wish
that through Divine power these op-
portunities might be seized, and these
responsibilities borne for the general
good of mankind.
After DIR. Quintillian had spoken,
DR.. Hubbard spoke of the opportuni-
ties for missionary work in Africa,
and prayed that some of the young
men of the institution would pledge
themselves for Christian work in the
dark Continent. After these remarks
had been made, Mr.. Ellis, newspaper
correspondent and known in journal
istic circles as the Religious Ram
BIER" entered the room and was
asked by Dr. Hubbard to speak. In
response he said that he regarded the
race problem as a matter of great
urgency, and expressed the opinion
that individual contribution would dc
more towards the solution of the same
than anything else.

Association, desire to thank the
ladies of the Hospital Club for their
untiring and successful efforts toward
furnishing the hospital. The check
for $243.47, received from you on the

pays in full the account for furnishing
the hospital.
We now feel encouraged in be'iev-
ing that the remainder of the build
ing will be erected during the coming
year, we are now at work on the
foundation. This means that about
twenty additional rooms will need
furnishing before they can be used.
l would respectfully ask the aid and
cooperation of the Club in this work
for the coming year.
Yours truly,
