Short School Term

The President of a State uni versity said to the writer not long since that it was useless to expect to educate children with a four-months or six-months school term, as the children would forget while out of school all that they had learned while in it. There is much of truth in this, too; in many cases It IS almost literally true. Yet. while fully agreeing that longer school terms are necessary, we could not help wondering why the pri- mary schools should teach child ren things that would not be thought of outside of school. Isn't it quite possible, and wouldn't it be eminently sen- sible, so to recast the course of study and textbooks that the child's lessons in school would
 fit in naturally with his work and play at home? And if this were done, wouldn't he be. less likely to forget his school lessons between terms?-The Progress sive Farmer.

SENTENCE SERMONS ON EDUCATION

Our culture must be strongly mixed with American agricul- ture.
 The true function of a school is to give expression to child-life within it's immediate surround ings.
 There is quite as much educa- tion and true learning in the analysis of an ear of corn as in the analyze of a complex sen- tence; ability to analyze clover and alfalfa roots savers of quite as much culture as does the study of the Latin and Greek roots.
 Our educational policy must be built from the ground up rather than from the top to the ground, as has been true in the past.
 The average school textbook is written for a universal need and consequently ignores our local relations. The aut h r assumes that teachers have sense enough to leave out much of the textbook matter and substitute much of local interest in it's stead.
 Education is a process of training that fits us into life and environments and makes us ex- pressive and serviceable where we live. If our education fails in these essentials. we have surely been deluded, and graft has played upon our time and money. Lack of social life, better home environments, more labor saving machinery and devices, carefully directed education for the rural girl and her mother, are more largely responsible for tn e migration of our best citizenship from the farm to city life than any other factor.

| LCSL I C O1 SOts The Monroe county Fair is to
 be held at Clarendon, Oct. 17th, 1913.
 On July 30th, each Corn Club Boy in the county was notified of a contest whereby free trip might be earned to the Tri-State Fair at Memphis. Each boy was to write an account of How l made my corn crop" The trip was to be awarded to the boy who wrote the best account. Only four boys competed. They were Joe Ramey, Walter Owens, John Moorhead and Toney Miley.
 A committee composed of A. Flora, J. w. Dickson and w. B. Williams met August 26 and after a careful examination of the es- says, gave first prize to Walter Owens of Clarendon, and second prize to Joe Ramey. of Keevil. The following is the prize win hing essay:

 On March 29th, 1at-broke my land with two horses to depth of about seven inches. On April 18th, I narrowed the ground thoroughly and marked off the rows and planted on April the 22.
 On April the 26th, narrowed the corn with a section harrow, again on May 3rd I narrowed with a Gee Whiz cultivator. The ground was then in fine shape. and the corn about four inches high.

ploitation of wars and bIoodshed in United States history, let us substitute the story of the history of our national agriculture and the captains of our national agriculture and the captains of our national industries.
 Agriculture must first be taught by effective correlation, then by general lessons and in daily classwork
 The Corn and Garden Club plats should be the agricultural laboratory of the rural and the village schools.
 The religion which ignores the sacredness of Gods acres is not efficient and cannot administer to mans true spiritual needs. Consolidation of rural schools is not a panacea for all our ills of rural education, for we can- not eliminate all the one-room schools, not in a hundred years. Unless the consolidated rural school becomes an agricultural high school instead of weak and poorly equipped city high school it will only be a greater power of discontent in the com- munity. 1 believe in consolidat- ed rural schools that are farm life schools, but not in the other kind for rural education. The cate s t regulations, educationally. to be made in America within the next twenty years will not be in college, university and city schools. but in the humble rural school and rural villa.
 The school exists for the child and the taxpayers and therefore

 A WORD TO CORN CLUB BOYS
 Your exhibit of corn must reach the Fair not later than Oc- tober 18th.
 Get two disinterested men to measure your acre and to witness the weighing of the corn produc- ed on the acre. The corn may be weighed with the shuck on, but it should be in a dry condition. The result you will report to me on the enclosed blank.
 Do not neglect to send to the County Superintendent at once eff you have not done sol a writ ten account of How l Made My Corn Crop" This account should relate each step in the process of cultivation, and should close with an itemized statement of the cost of making the crop.
 Select ten of the best ears and carefully wrap and box the same and deliver at the office of the County Superintendent at Clar- endon, not later than October 16.

terests of country folks, VIZ, home-life, farm, religion, and social life.
 Careful selection of rural school literature has quite as much significance as the careful selection of seed corn if we hope to get a good crop of lovers of good literature in our rural schools.
 Our educational policy should be builded for the common peo- ple, the ninety and nine.
 Dignity the profession of the farm and rural kitchen by mak- ing it's interests part of our school course. More education, less acres. and more production.
 The rural teacher is the proph- ct and builder of our future citi- zenship.
 Win the boy by being part ner in his rural life and country interests.
 It is quite beyond the power of a teacher to inspire the boy for rural life and a wholesome respect for the farm when the parents insist upon both making and naming farm-life degraded drudgery', and as long as the old shoe box shaped schoolhouse of pioneer days continues to en- viron their waking hours at school.
 Some of our so called educat- ors need to become alive to the fact that our greatest ultnre does not consist in the sen timental defense of t h e old culture sake and three r ed ucation, but rather in the cul- ture that gains efficiency for daily service to mankind.
 The function of the rural school is not to make common toiler contented with his lot, but tc help all to a place of dignity and contentment in scientific agricul. ture as a great profession. which will command the following o1 the most cultured and refined.
 The bad boy is the product o1 neglect, misdirection. and lack of sympathy in the common in. terests of his boyhood environ ments and experiences. Simply filling the bucket ol meeting the blackletter require. ments of formal contract isnot doing one's duty, much less making a gain for success in the business of teaching.
 Yes, teaching is the leading or drawing out of the chiId's in nate possibilities. but it is much more it is careful direction anc a system of follow-up work, after direction has been given. Redirect your rural and village education along agricultural line and you will turn the tide o American manhood back to thu farm, or better still. you will keep the best of rural energ. where it is most efficient. Con tinue the old policy of 'cultur' sake" education, and you vii impoverish American manhood as well as her agriculture; nev downfall of Rome will be ex perienced, but this time il America.
 Education is life, but it doe not follow that knowledge is life very often it is dead, inorganic and purifying. Knowledge i not power. Only the application of knowledge to human need gives it power. The test of al teaching should be. Does give us power of service? ! Getting an education simpl. means to learn the art of fitting Unto life and environments il order that we may express ou Hives with greatest efficiency. H n,,., raL o<sl ~.,,~.~. x~,,ck ,>ox,

checks had been returned because the
club was unable to fill the orders were
