1t was jolly crowd, each one
contributing a story or incident that
happened to one Of the others, to the
general enjoyment of all. 1t would
take too much space to relate all the
stories told.
All had contributed toward the
cafeteria picnic and we had a deli
cious repast. Cafeteria style of eating
is not generally understood by most
of the people. A line is formed and
each one takes up tray, helps him
self to napkin. knife, fork and
spoon and passes along a table upon
which the viands are arranged, being
helped to butter, bread or biscuit,
fried chicken, potatoes, vegetables,
salads, coffee, and then seats himself
at table. Nothing is passed around,
II you want more you have to get up
to the general distri buting table and
call for more as no one waits
you except at table.

The New DAY and the New Subject
for our schools is here. Ohio has form
ally entered the play and the work of
her children in the schools and in
their homes TO better weld these to-
gether for a more complete education
of her Buckeye boys and girls by
closer study Of plant and animal life;
our school system will be more help
ful outside the school house and off
the school grounds.
The Legislature provided that agri-
culture must DE taught in our schools
but wisely left the manner in which
1t was to be taught and how much
was to be done to the boards of edu-
cation, superinlendents and teachers.
The first month of school for this
year Is past; 1t has made its impress
sions, In proportion as the work in ag-
riculture was planned and thought
fully executed, SO were the proper i'm
pressions made on the pupils; good
Impressions lover happen-they are
the results OF some careful designing
and persistent striving. Now what
have vcu planned In your schools?
What are most essential among the
agricultural subjects in your vicinity?
What does your course of study lay
out for your teachers and pupils? Are
your schools each working alone like
a balky horse, or are they all working
study to build up set of township
or village schools?
To the superI1tendcnts and Teachers
Especially:
IL is hot a matter of as great pride
to teach agriculture and living things
as to teach arithmetic? Can your pu-
pills read and do they read agricultur-
al literaturei Have you or your pupils
written for the bulletins from the Ex-
pertinent Station at Wooster. from the
State Board of Agriculture, the De.
partmenS at Washington. or the Agri-
cultural College? Have you an exhibit
Of what your pupils do on hands all
the tims7 Do you aave all the schools
to bring an exhibit together at some
place or meeting? (Let me see and
photograph these exhibits so that 9TH
ers may see what you do through the
papers.)
When pupil brings question
that you can not answer and yet is
very pertinent to the agriculture Of
your vicinity, do you know whore to
get the answer? Do you know OF the
Travelling Library? Does every poul-
try yard, every COW and every garden
in your district pay and pay well?
Can YOU teach your pupils how to
make every one or any one of these
pay in profit and pleasureY.
