SCORES CITY GIRL TEACHER
Joseph Chapman, Jr, Of Minneapolis,
Declares Her to Be Menace to
Agricultural Prosperity.

Chicago.-"The city girl who goes
into rural communities to teach is
menace to the agricultural future OF
the nation. She strikes at the back
bone Of the country's prosperity.
From her position on the rostrum
Of the little red schoolhouse tho
teacher from the city turns the
thoughts of her boy pupils into other
channels than those leading to the
raising of cattle and corn. The soil
will be remedied by the passage Of
tho consolidated rural school bill now
before the Minnesota legislature"
Joseph Chapman Jr., vice-president
Of the Northwestern National bank Of
Minneapolis, pictured the city girl in
this new role in a talk. His views
were expressed in a discussion Of the
subject of Agricultural Education
and Vocational Training" at the week
ly luncheon of the ways and means
committee of the Chicago Association
Of Commerce in the La Sale hotel.
"The present system of education
trains boys away from tho farm"
6alQ the speaker. AS result Oh LulO
influence on his mind at a critical pc
riod. the boy fails to see later tho
possibilities that lie in the scientific
development Of farm land, and, believ-
ing his future lies in the city, soon
deserts the life of tilling the SOIL"
In the establishment Of agricultural
high schools Mr.. Chapman sees the
only hope Of overcoming the preju-
dice against the farm and in getting
out Of the soil what it really owes to
the country. He advised Illinoisans
to take heed Of the situation.
"Ten agricultural high schools
were provided for in Minnesota two
years ago." he said. 'In a canvass of
the state we could not find enough
teachers to man the schools. We had
to go to Iowa. Wisconsin, Nebraska
and other states, six states in all, to
get teachers. Ten more schools will
now be established.
I'VE must turn back to the soil
keep close to the drift we are to-
continue as a prosperous nation. In
the rural consolidated schools aericul.
ture is going to have It's place."
