Perhaps some one will say that am
an optimist, an enthusiast - that IL
there Is all this dignity and inspira-
ton attached to agricultural labor why
is 1t that the fields are not thickly
populated-why are all these aban-
doned farms in New England? So I
am an optimist-without cheerful OPP
timism what would be our state of
mind In these days when there Is such
tendency to undertaking and the
pursuit of gold and of fashion? SO
am an enthusiast. | have cause to be.
There Is too much evidence of good
percentage of splendid results having
come from Just such schools as the
one which II is now proposed to estab-
fish here for me to expect anything
less Of this. My observation has been
that most men have in them love
of the soil which would have held
them had they been properly trained
before other calls became strong. One
reason why the call of. the city is 30
often irresistible Is that the untrain-
ed, poorly EDUCATED tiiler OF the soil
sees before him nothing but long years
OF ceaseless, wearying toll with few
diversions. Labor presents to him nc
aspect of dignity. He sees In It Just
plan every day hard work of the COM
mon or garden sort.
To the youth grounded in scientific
agriculture are opened up long vistas
Of possibilities. One of these is the
certain Increase In value of his labor
commensurate with his increased eff
cheney. Not the least of these Is the
positive knowledge that he Is the pos
SCISSOR Of trained faculties. which are
instrumental In producing two spears
of grain where one grew before. ( He

deprive him of his knowledge or his

Ing value to himself and to the COM

pupils Of the proposed Agricultural
School will be possessed of faculties
for original research work. But every
