AGRICULTURE IN THE CoUN.
TRY SCHOOL

Advocating that the boys and
girls stay on the farm, and at the
same time teaching city objects in
the rural schools, is contradictory.
If the boys and girls are taught
one thing, they cannot be expected
to want to do something else, even
if they are advised to. A few
years ago the question was asked
the boys and girls in thirtyfour
schools in Wright County, Iowa
8 What do you want to do?' OF
the 164 boys, 157 wanted to leave
the farm and 1853 Of LA girls want
ed to do likewise. After agricul-
ture and home economics had been
taught for three years the same
question was asked in the same
schools. This time 1852 of the LA
boys and 161 of the 178 girls to
whom the question was submitted
wanted to stay on the farm. This
changing an almost unanimous de
sire of leaving the farm to an al
most unanimous desire to stay on
the farm seems miraculous; yet il
was done through making little
change in the course of study. 1t
is simple, however, for boys and
girls will want to do the things
that they have been taught how to
lido. Their interest will be devel-
oped in the things they are taught,
They will see more in them than
in things they know less about
|Again, agriculture and home econ.
omics are the things that boys and
lgirls are the most interested in te
begin with. They live in an agri

oratory. The knowledge that
they have when they come
to school is on these
two. subjects, SO that education to
he the most effective must begin
with what the children know, and
not as Professor Mlinard saws
'sTake them from where they
aren't to where they don't want to
go" That is what makes the
school irksome, that causes the
boys, especially, want to leave
schools. The way to keep the
boys on the farm is to teach about
things they have to deal with. If
it is desired to have them leave the
farm, then keep agriculture and
home economics out of the course
of study.
The will to do springs from the
knowledge that one can do. One
likes to do what one can do we'll.
Doing work that one dosen't un-
derstand is drudgery. Most boys
must enter productive work. IL
they are not educated for it then
it will be drudgery. Most girls
will manage homes. II they are
not taught for it, home making
will be drudgery. So it is in the
power of the schools to make Ell
ther enthusiastic workers or drudg-
es of the boys and girls.
What are the schools of our state
doing to teach the boys and girls
the principles of agriculture so
that they will know what to do
and understand why they are do
ing it2 Are the teachers of our
schools prepared to give the pu-
pills instruction in agricultures
Our attention has recently been
called to the Campbell Correspon-
dence Course in Soil Culture.
This course is not only adapted to
the needs of the farmer, but to,
the needs of the teacher who can
not take the time to 60 to an agri-
cultural college. Every man
who is interested in better farm
ing and especially every teacher
in the country schools should send
for catalogue of this school and
if possible take the course. Write
to the Campbell Correspondence
School, Lincoln, Nebraska, and
ask them for free catalogue.

February was the quietest month

circles. There were 81 arrests
during the month. of which 81
were for drunkenness.
Since closing the saloons in
Beresford, it was suspected that
there was illegal sale of liquor. and
a detective was employed to ferret
out the case. As a result, seven
druggists and their clerks were
arrested and bound over to court.
G. L. Dean, living on a farm
near WiImot, pleaded guilty to
stealing two wagon loads of wheat
and selling it under an assumed
name at Twin Brooks. Dean ask

that his family was destitute.

FAR will man and woman, in love,
go to break the ties that keep them
apart?
The ultimate answer to this newest
of all twentieth-century questions
has just been given by Lieutenant
Clark, a 44-year-old army officer in
the English service in India, and Mrs.
Gussie Fulham, 81, the wife of a
high military official stationed at
Agra, India.
All England has been stirred to the

given-a plea of guilty to numbering
both the woman's husband and Lieut..

SHACKLETON TO USE
NO FOOD DEP0TS
London Amazed at the Bold
ness of Antarctic Ex-

/ rs Cable 10 The Tribune. !

London. Dec. 31.-The most surpris-
ing feature Of Sir Ernest II. Shackie-
toms plan to cross the South Polar con-
tinent is the proposal TO march at least
| 800 miles, and possibly Loo miles.
without the aid Of depots Of food. so
daring a scheme has never been at
tempted before. The usual plan has
been to make a depot every seventy
miles or so. No other polar explorer
ever tried TO carry enough food for the
whole tourney. Mr.. Shackletor said
Yesterday:
rI don't care how many people say 1t
isn't possible: ! say il is. and am
going TO show il is For the last two
Years 7 have been working it out, down
To the last ounce Of food and so far as
We can see there is no reason why We
should not do il.
I'VE shall start with 100 dogs and
about 1900 pounds OF food. As we go
along to dogs will eat each other. and
by the time We reach the pole or there
abouts We probably shall be reduced to
fifty dogs and six slcdges. That equip
ment should see US through the 100
miles or so still in front Of us. In
working ont the equipment ! allowed
ten days for delay by blizzards.
The astounding boldness of tho
scheme becomes still more apparent
when compared with Amundsen's Nor
wegian expedition. which depended On
the dog cat dog system now adopted
by Shackleton. but made the usual de-
pots as well. The scheme marks revo-
luton in polar work.
