Changes Needed 10 Increase the Dignity
OF Rural Life,
Editor 7HneSi

Editor Times
Under the new order Of things, to
attain the best results the policy Of
maintaining large plantations in the
South must be abandoned; all the
idle lands must be brought into use
and made profitable; labor for men
and women must be held in honor;
diversified agriculture must sup.
plant the one.crop system TO in
sure safety and all the best condi-
tions tor a life OF usefulness aud in
Auencc must be established in the
country Before rural lite can be
held in the highest honor the follow
ing conditions must be secured,
A much larger percentage OF the
farmers and their families must be
broadly educated and Of high char.
acter.
The farm lands must be so inn
proved and managed ms to yield a
more certain and profitable return
for labor expended
The farm improvements must be
durable, suited to the requirements
Of the farm, convenient and attrac.
tive,
Churches schools, means OF com.
munication, social conditions and
various opportunitiesmust be better
for the m sses in the country than
in the city f.
The problem is how TO effect these
rural changes for the better Edu-
cation being so important, many
have thought and still think that
the establishment of Agricultural
Colleges will accomplish the oh.
jcct Forty years trial has shown
that most OF the college trained
youths whether in schools Of ogri-
culture, science or classics, leave the
farm; and there is a reason and
this reason IL not difficult to under.
stand,
The education required is one that
can reach the adult masses as well
as the young and will hold them to
the farm The error is in q failure
to see that the situation can not
be overcome by q college education,
however helpful it may be to a
man as a citizen, The practical and
sane way Of accomplishing the re.
suits is TO induce the farmers to try
better methods and note the results
in improving their farms to make
tillagc less expensive and production
more certain, to double the crop TO
the acre and halyr the cost
Well informed men who are sue.

that a thorough knowledge Of ogris
culture can be acquired in one way
only and that is by working out

national railway committee, and r. A.
Broyles, of Atlanta, Ga, member of the
national board of directors of the Trav-
elers Protective association, clashed
yesterday in the convention of that or

Chairman Crandall. in his annual re-
port, declared that the national board
last year acted in direct opposition to
the will OF theT P. A. as expressed at.
the 1911 convention.
Director Broyles accused Mr.. Gran

legged the board of directors, learning
that the chairman of the national rail
way committee had been too close to
certain railway traffic managers, de-
cided to check him. After two hours of
exchange of personalities all asper-
sions and remarks rejecting on the
character Of either Mr.. Broyles or Mr.

Fhis was clearly shown at the meet
ing of the commission, when almost eV-

declared himself still uncertain of a
sol,1ion. Chairman Joseph A. McCord
declared that he would never go on
record in favor of segregation; Alder
man Nuttins held that the greatest
danger to society lay not in the recos-
nizad resorts Of a segregated district
but in the clandestine places Of up
town streets and the ioathsome dives
OF Decatur and Peters streets.
Refuses to Call Resorts "Orderly."
Councilman w. G. Humphrey moved
that the commission include in its min
utes report on the tour of the re
st,1cted district the night before with
the sta5 ement that the resorts were
conducted in an orderly manner X N.
Pickett stoutly opposed this, declaring
that he would not be placed on record
as saying any such places were or
DERBY and thereby countenance them.
The matter was finally settled by the
secretary being directed to write such
a .renort in the minutes, no resolution
being adopted and no member Of the
commission being recorded as for or
against such a report.
The most important action Of the
meeting was a resolution addressed to
the council, asking that the charter be
amended to give the city power to
regulate hotels, rooming houses and
dance halls by the issuance or refusal
of permits. Just as saloons are regu-
lated. The resolution was sent to the
