Education in Germany and in the United
States.

THE average man, of the people in
America Is much more interested in the
affairs OF the public schools than the
average man in Germany" declares Dr..
George Kerschensteiner. wellknown
German educator in "A Comparison OF
Public Education in Germany and the
United States just issued by the bu-
reau of education. In the daily press,
reports and discussions on educational
topics occupy space which to my OBJ
servation is fully ten times that which
German newspapers devote to the same
subject"
Dir. Kerschenstener compares point by
point the school systems in the two
countries. He shows how Germany Sc
cures educational efficiency by central
zation of authority within the indiyid-
ual states As result OF the
lack of state compulsion, he says, 1--WE
see to-day in the United States the
sharpest contrasts between school sys-
tens that are Incredibly poor and others
of the highest possible type, that would
do credit to the finest civilized nations
of the the globe" He finds that Ameri-
can citizens of community have more
direct control over their schools than in
Germany, and commends this condition.
He compares the teachers in the two
countries-thei training their salaries,
their tenure of Office. He discusses re-
ligion in the schools of the two coun-
tries. co-education, and other points oil
similarity and differences.
Direct election of school board mem
bers by the citizens, as found in the
United States, impressed DR.. kersohens-
teiner very favorably. He notes that in
Germany the citizens have litS& or
nothing to say about their school syys-
boards are nowhere chosen by popular
vote he declares. He thinks the
American plan might be a very good
thing for his own country, particularly
as means of arousing genuine public
interest in education.
The American high school comes in for
some interesting comment by DIR. Ker-
chensteiner, both complimentary and
otherwise. He praises the high schools
Democratic spirit, its aim to educate all
the people; but he misses the thorough
ness that characterizes the work of the
German gymnasium.
In both nations the schools are now in
period of great development, according
TO the Munich educator. The great ad
vantage that Germany possesses" he de-
clares, in addition TO the relentless
thoroughness of the whole educational
work. Is the we'll regulated organization
of a state-provided school system. which
requires in each community a school rs
good as that in every other community.
RtIt this advantage has been purchased
at the expense of many qualities for
which we must envy the American
schools"

Cresco plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1913-1945, 1913-09-05

100 acres of alfalfa meadow wn.2"
produces from 1-2,to tons Of valu-
able hay. 1t is interesting thai al
though one can find specimens Of
nearly every variety of noxious weeds
on this farm, they are held in cheek
by the alfalfa in the rotation prac-
ticed, and never bother to any extent
in the grain fields. AS a result of the
growing of alfalfa and the manure
from the extensive feeding operations
the fertility and crop-producing abb
ity of the fields on this farm have
been mai, tanned, and even increase.
Then two thlngs-stock feeding and
alfalfa growing-have built up this
farm and filled the owners pocket
book. Every bit Of roughage is saved
to be fed to the stock. Most of the
small grains are cut quite green, be-
cause the owner wants the nutrients
in the straw to be as digestable as
possible. Nest of the oats are fed
as sheaf oats.
Silage forms a large part of the
winter ration, with corn, alfalfa hay,
sheaf oats and cotton seed meal.
That it pays to be up-to-date and
get out of old WORKOUT ruts may be
shown when one looks over the de-
tailed accounts kept on this farm.
1t may be summed up in the state
ment that during the dry period of

Up 70 DATE STOCK FEEDING.

~ PAUL JOHNSON, Iowa state College
Last summer Capt. w. S. A. Smith
Of Leeds, Iowa, topped the Sioux
market with two carloads of mixed
heifers and steers that sold for 1915.
These cattle were fattened on SUM
ner pasture of alfalfa and grass. The
other part of the ration was an aver
age Of 20 lbs. of ear corn per head,
shovelled into the hunks each morn
Ing.
These cattle were purchased as feed
ers for 1925 and were not a very fine
looking ;,unch when bought. 1t was
surprising, however, to see how uni
formly they fattened out. Altogether
the captain fed oyer SO head on pas
ture and though this was but small
or part Of his feeding operations, it
was not the least profitable. One
hundred and twenty head of large hogs
followed these cattle and fattened on
the pasture and droppings. These
were sold during the summer. In
this experience Of Capt. Smith, there
were two outstanding features: First.
the profit from summer feeding; and,
second, the value of alfalfa to ths
Iowa farmer. Both Of these practices
