j. ID. Eggleston discussed Ono way
of linking up school and rural COM
munity life"
He stressed the fact that the present.
age lives in an era when education.
before bread. is the greatest need OF a
nation, reversing Danton's saying that
After bread education Is the greatest
need of nation.
The complete school program. ac-
cording to Mr.. Eggleston. must not
only provide an educational scheme
that will concentrate the children
activities upon the materials OF com
munity life, but II must assist them TO
realize their efficiency as future citizens,
as producers on commercial basis
In this connection. Mr.. Eggleston
went on to say. the adults OF COM
nunity should be brought 70 realiza-
ton also of their value as commercial
producers The farm demonstration
movement was born out OF the intensely
Individual attitude assumed by farm
ers in working out their problems
without assistance
Mr.. Eggleston reviewed the work OF
the farm demonstration movements
and paid a high tribute TO the efforts
of the late DR.. Seaman \. Knapp, OF
the Department of Agriculture. Mr.
Eggleston spoke of the manner in which
demonstration work could be made a
part of the rural school work by having
those qualified TO instill its precepts Visit
the schools and impart their knowledge
through practical methods.
Several instances were cited by the
speaker to prove the correctness OF
this idea Tho school farm at Burke
vile. Nototoway County. Nirg mia. was
among the exam pies mentioned as an
Illustration.
