Extension Department, Iowa State
College.
For many years short courses. farm
ers' Institutes and various other meet
uings have been held for the benefit Of
the farmers and farmers wives Of ev-
cry state. This and all other agricul-
turai education has been chiefly d.
rected to the grown-up people. Today
educators everywhere are beginning
to realize that the boys and girls, who
are to be the future managers OF our
farms, have been neglected. Even
their schools have not been Of the
proper kind and the subjects taught
there are anything but inviting to the
free and inauiring minds Of farm chill
dren. Not single subject has been
taught them which should fit them for
their duties of life or which bring
them closer to their work. There may
be some good reasons why many
bright country boys and girls have left
the old farm and gone to the more
Turing life of the cities.
But conditions are rapidly being
changed and we can rightly hope that
in the near future the country children
will at least be given a chance to
study the things nearest them and
that their education will be as thor
ough and complete as that of their
city cousins. This will ultimately
come through the Introduction into
the schools of the fundamental prin-
ciples of agriculture and home-making

Senatorial Register.

A recent overhauling of a desk IN

health officer brought to light small
volume entitled The Medical Regis
ter OF the District" which contained
complete list of the senators OF the
thirty-ninth congress. giving their
weight, height. and head and chest
measurements. The author of the
book. DR.. j. M. Toner. says in ex-
PLANTATION of the table:
ut shows that in all the points OBJ
served our senators exceed the aver
age Of mankind in Aall parts of the
world as well as the average of our
own country"
From the figures given. It appears
that the tallest senators at that time
came from Kentucky, the shortest
from New Hampshire and West vir-
ginia. The average height was feet
10h inches, and the senatorial heads.
measured little lower than the hat
is generally worm" showed an aver
age circumference of 22h inches.
Fourteen OF the 40 senators were 9
feet tall.
II Ollie James realizes his ambition
to be promoted from the house to the
senate. Kentucky will repeat In the
sixty-third congress the reputation It
had in the thirty-ninth of having the
tallest man in the upper house.-The

HELPING FUTURE MANAGERS OF FARM
Educators Everywhere Beginning to Realize That Boys and Girls
Of Our Farms Have Been Neglected Children to
Be Given Chance to Study Things Nearest Them.

last month the second annual contest
was held and premiums were offered
for the best corn, oats, potatoes, cook
ing. sewing and home management
work. A report of this exhibit will be
found elsewhere In this issue.
At the short course year ago last
January the Iowa Junior Agricultural
Union was organized among the eighty
boys and girls attending. There seem
ed to be a need for a state organiza-
ton of this kind to direct and bring
together once year a representative
OF county and local clubs. The Off
GERS are elected from the boys and
they are given the complete control of
the organization. Last year the mem
bership reached almost 1000 active
members. The purposes of the union
are well stated In the constitution and
are substantially as follows:
/. To assist in extending the bene-
fits Of the agricultural college to the
farms boys and girls.
>. To interest the boys and girls in
farm life by outlining courses of study
in farm and home work, encouraging
competitive contests, holding junior
short courses, and assisting in or
ganizing county and local clubs.
3. To cooperate with other educa-
tional associations.
4. To print an annual report.
The annual meeting is held each
year during the short course at Ames.
The second annual meeting was held
last month. New officers we're elected
and business meeting held at which
a committee was appointed to revise
the constitution. In the revised con-
stitution the committee was instructed
to include as much as possible of the
plans and work of the boy scouts, a
move which Will give a social and
moral as well as an intellectual inter
est to the work. This committee was
also instructed to select a suitable pin
or badge to be worn by the members.
1t is expected that this organization
will be great help to the local clubs
by furnishing instructions and mate
rial for their work. The membership
will probably double in the next year
and great good will certainly be ac-
complished when these thousands of
boys and girls begin studying the
things OF interest to them.
The real purpose of this junior edu-
cation is not SO much to teach the
boys how to raise bigger crops or the
girls how to- keep house more econo-
mically. but 1t is to make their life
work more pleasant and interesting
because Of their knowledge of it. Edu.
cation is said to be the fitting of ones
self for his or her life duties. II the
farm boys and girls are not given an
opportunity to study their business.

and the correlation Of this work with
the subjects already taught there.
This is only justice to our country
population, and Isl by no means diff
cult task.
However, 1t will be several years be-
fore many schools take up this redi-
rected education. as 1t cannot come
suddenly. 1t must come gradually with
the conditions and ability of the forces
to carry on such work. In the mean
time much good can be done through
other sources in helping the boys and
girls In their farm life. 1t is to meet
this need that the Junior work of the
Extension Department 10 conducted.
The work began in the spring OF 1909
when about 500 boys and girls agreed
to carry on an individual ear test with
ten ears Of corn. Nearly one-half of
them purchased the seed they began
with from some well known corn
breeder in the state. Instructions were
sent them throughout the season in
testing the seed, planting, cultivating,
making records and harvesting the
crop. During the short course the
following winter nearly all of these
young farmers competed for several
thousand dollars in premiums offered
for the best samples of corn exhibited.
This contest was considered very sue
cessful and It was decided to make It
an annual feature Of the work.
During the season of 1910, the work
was broadened to include much more
than corn raising. A choice Of seven
courses was offered to the boys and
girls: two were In corn growing. ono
IN cat growing. one In garden and po-
tato growing and one each In cooking.
sewing and home management. From
four to eight lessons were given In
each course. The work began with
the simplest phases Of the subject and
became more advanced n the season
progressed. Through the efforts Of
county superintendent and teachers a
total of over 1000 boys and girls en-
rolled and received instructions in
these courses. At the short course
