and the offer has been accepted.
The general education board, | may
say. is a trusteeship, organized in 1902
and Incorporated by act of Congress in
1903. Its purposes are to promote edu-
cation in the United States. and espe-
cially to promote, systematic and make
effective various forms of educational
beneficence. Such men as Frederick T.
Gates. Charles W. Eliot, president emeri-
tus OF Harvard: Andrew Carnegie Walter

Britain: Arson Phelps Stokes. jr., and
Edwin A. Alderman are members Of the
board
We have been fortunate in securing
the services of DIR. #. y. Carver. pro-
sity, as director of the rural organization
work. The president OF Harvard has
granted him indefinite leave of absence
for the purpose. DIR. Carver has been
deeply interested in rural life for many
years and il pioneer in the study of
rural economic problems. He has written
one of the most useful books on the sub
lect of rural economics and has devoted

The Human Sphinx" IS the title which
some of those who have met him have
sought to attach TO Secretary Houston
1t is hardly an apt characterization,
though it IS true that he preserved abb

was coming to accept the post in the

those friends when they read in the news
papers next day of the distinction that
had been conferred upon him.
But that doesn't make a man sphinx.
He isn't given to loose and trivial con-
versation, but he does talk easily, grace
fully. thoughtfully and well. He has to
want to talk first, however.
The atmosphere OF the man is that OF
one strong mentally and physically. he
possesses air of dominant force. which
is intensified by coal-black eyes. They
are such eyes as Jay Gould possessed;
SUCH as lighted the face Of James o.

bearded countenance of James j. Hill

reserve, distant with dreams, dancing

Such eyes might have been possessed
by Joseph, of whom his brothers said:

Questions of transportation enter into
the subject in a large degree. and these
questions are most complex.
SO 1t is that We in the department are
inclined not TO be dognatic in discussing
the matter of the nations food supply

that matter and what is termed the high

and forces that enter into the cost OF
living question. The farm is but one.
Another is the increase in gold produc-
ton. and that is an important one.
The real problem before this depart
ment now is one of investiga ton. To
point the way to better conditions we
must first get the facts. We must know
what is good and what is bad in our
present system in order that better one
may be adopted. Such better one is Il
system whereby the best products may
be produced and reach the consumer with
the greatest efficiency and economy.
Hence our rural organization service.
1t is manifest that organization Is es-
if the desired end De achieved. Individual
effort will not produce the results. Com
bined effort is needed How to CONSOLE
date and direct that effort is something
the service must determine.
Heretofore the Department of Agri-
culture and other agencies charged with
the advancement of agriculture have
given primary attention TO problems of
production. Now we propose to proceed
further We must consider and weigh
existing organizations, enterprises and
activities, with a view TO determining
just how they are working and just what
is their effe,t.
The next step properly should be to
encourage and bring into combination or
CARNATIONS that will be helpful in ad-
vancing rural life. 1t may be further
necessary to emphasize the value of or
ganized effort by practical demonstra-
tons III different sections OF the country,
operating through the Sovernment-aided
agricultural colleges. which already have
done important work in this field.
As a concrete example, 1t might be
