Where districts are not large enough

must be taught to love nature, to be-

ideals for career Of honor and use

How can we expect the ten thousand
young teachers to grasp and compre-
bend these vital essentials, and then
to show the boys and girls in their
schools how they can be the most
manly Of men and most womanly of
women, without leaving their country
homes?
Country schools, as rule, pay too
small salaries to secure broadly cul-
tured and capable teachers. AS gen.
eral thing. also, they are cursed. or at
least hampered, by system Of petty
politics, which not only enters into the
hiring of teachers, but is felt in all
matters Of management and discipline.
Society in the country fails to re-
ceive from its schools the results
which It needs. This deficiency is rec
ognized by all Of the larger schools
and the farmers Institutes, which to-
day are giving great deal of atten-
ton to the social hfe Of our agricul-
tural communities. In fact, the gov
