THE FARMERS INSTITUTE

son this week in celebration of the
beginning of Farmers Institute
work in the United States, in the
same place about twenty-six years
ago, calls special attention to some
facts worthy of notice in connection
First, large credit is due the In
stitute and its promoters, past anc
present, for the wonderful revolu'
ton in method which has taken
place in the farmers world during
this quarter of century. The
work of the Institute is by no
| means the least factor in the many
which now cause the manifest trend
toward rural and farm life. TWEEN
ty-f1ve years ago young people look
ed upon the farm as a good starting
point for the city. Its work was
hard, its hours of labor long, its So
cial advantages were meager, home
was simply place for meals and
sleep. It's life was more of q drudg-
cry than delight. There was little
thought that farming would take an
honored place among the profess
sions.
Yet, to-day, old things seem to
have passed away. The word sci
ence is found in the farmers die
tionary. Modern machinery and
modern methods call for brains
rather than Drawn. Captains of
industry" find the agricultural
fields ample for large exploits, while
schools for training the boys and
girls on the farms receive first at
tention. Back to the farm" is
the cheering call to-day; and the
Farmers Institute has been dill
gently preparing the way for TWEEN
ty-fve years.
Again, the complete change in
thought and method is marked by a
comparison of the topics discussed at
the first and last meetings. While
certain subjects, such as soils and
their treatment remain permanent,
others appear to-day which could
not have been In evidence twenty
five years ago. Although the ear
lier Institutes were for instruction,
they had large work to do. first, in
arousing interest in new ways and
methods. Farmers in this section
depended largely on a grain crop.
Markets had not opened fully for
butter and the products of the
truck garden as they have since.
Wisconsin was on its way to its own
as a dairy state. It had not ar
rived. Consequently, the topics at
the Institute dealing with things of
immediate practical value to the
farmer would have to concern them
selves with the farms and their
management at that time. The
awakening to better methods
would have to be done by pioneers
in those methods-mainly imported.
At this anniversary meeting the
change is apparent. Cows and con-
crete now hold the field against all
corners. The COW has become the
farmers mint, coming his product
into double eagles. Golden grain
is now surpassed by golden butter,
to the enrichment of farm and farm
err. And this golden age is also a
stone age. Concrete makes the
best silo to preserve the best food
for the best cow for the best farmer.
Concrete makes the best foundation
for the living mint. Concrete
makes the best bridges for the
farmers traffic. Hence concrete
and cows reveal the march of the
farmers progress toward his con-
quest of the earth and what is bet
ter, toward those conditions on the
farm which do more than all else to
create and foster desire for rural
life.

ball coach Richards has had a re-
markable record. The six prepar-

The leading article in the Feb
ruary number of the Western Jour
nal of Education is The Adjust
ment of Education TO Contemporary
Life" by President H. L. Wilson.
The article states that there is gen
eral satisfaction with the pres
ent schools, as expressed frequently
by educators, professional men, in
dicating that these institutions do
not provide just the kind of training
that is needed. This necessity of
the adjustment of the schools to the
needs of contemporary life is con-
sidered a most important educa-
tional question. Realizin the
magnitude of the subject, the au-
thor confines his discussion to
several of the most fundamental
needs of contemporary life which
the elementary schools should meet.
These he deems to be: Cd The
training for efficient citizenship
in American democracy, (2) The
conservation of the physical
strength of the race, and 80 A
more universal and systematic train
ing for industrial and commercial
pursuits. After fully and convinc-
ingly discussing these subjects and
indicating that unless the high
schools meet the demands of the
people, trade shoots of various kinds
will be established which will result
in loss of favor and usefulness to
the high schools, the paper conclud-
es with the statement that when our
elementary schools are reorganized
and administered so as to meet
these three fundamental require
ments, our system of education will
more perfectly be adjusted to the
| needs of contemporary life.
