AGRICULTURE IN THE SCHOOLS


Farmers and teachers both, have
vt felt sure how to teach agri.
culture in the common schools.
The difficulty lies mainly in the
false standard of education that the
teachers as a body now set up and
still continue to prescribe. If our
teachers were thoroughly practical
and constructive in their ideas of
schooling, they would soon fit the
case to the circumstance There
must first come an evolution or
rather a revolution, in the minds of
teachers as to what the processes of
the school are for. The old CLASH
cal stapdardard still obtains and
useless studies are carried on be-
cause of false notions of value.
A writer in School News puts the
matter in the right light for both
the parent and teacher when he
says:
All studies must be interpreted
for mental discipline, culture and
usefulness. When any study fails
to meet these requirements for an
individual, he should take new
bearing. All students should
receive their mental discipline from
those studies that are related to the
future activities of life. Life is too
short to rest mental discipline and
culture on less firm foundation.
A great impetus would be given
agriculture in the elementary schools
by giving our present high school
courses an elective setting in agri-
culture. Our chemistry should be
more of soil and less of star dust;
botany, more of corn and kindred
cereals and less of toad stools; 70
ology, more of helpful and harmful
insects and breeding of farm animals
and less of microscopic protocol.
Let us teach our children to use tho
camera and telescope more than the
gun and scalpel. The microscopic
cross section of a bull frogs verte-
bra has no more relation to the
real problems of life than a Mexican
bull fight has to the price of steak. I"
All the brains that there is in
the teaching profession has not
been able yet to put before the
scholars of our country district
schools a botany that shall disclose
the structure and laws of growth
of our farm plants and weeds.
Botany is studied, but it is
botany that does not enlighten the
farm boy. The study is OF no earth
ly use to him, yet the farmer, of
all men, unless it be the doctor,
has the most vital interest in plant
life. To get these big Columbian
branches down to farm comprehen-
sion, where they will start the farm
boy in an undertaking Of what
science has to give him as farmer,
has not been comprehended yet by
the teaching fraternity. Until they
do comprehend the problem, the
farmers cannot; for the teacher
controls and directs the subjects
taught and how they shall betaught.

STATE HIGHWAYS

Notwithstanding the fact that
politics was the main feature of the
Washington State Good Roads con-
vention recently held in Wenatchee,
several affirmative actions were
taken that will have an important
influence on subsequent highway
legislation. Four trunk routes were
endorsed. Two cross the state east
and west, one of them to go thru
the Snoqualmie Pass, from Seattle
to Spokane by way of Ellensburg,
Wenatchee and Waterville, the
other from Tacoma around Mount
Rainier and thence to North Yak
ina, Kennewick, Walla Walla and
Spokane. The Pacific Highway
from Blaine to Vancouver was ap-
proved and a road from Puget
Sound to Grays Harbor and Will
apa Harbor. To finance these pro-
jects the issuance of state bonds was
endorsed.
