AS TO MEXICO.

The Boston Herald sizes up the
situation this way: president Will
sons recent remarks about the ty-
ranny of government dwithout the
consent of the governed have been
commonly interpreted as his way
Of justifying the Mexican policy OF
the administration, if the admin
stration can be said to have policy.
THAT policy seems to be to force
the Mexicans to have the kind of
government to which President Will
son will consent, in the absence of
and definite information regarding the
kind of government which the Mexi-
cans are willing to accept. So we
defend our course in trying to force
Mexico % have the kind of govern.
ment we think is proper by declar-
ing that government without the con-
sent of the governed is wicked.
1.-THE truth of the matter is that
if there is to be any peace or order
across the Rio Grande, either the
Mexicans of governing power must
bring it about in their own way, or
some outside force must go i'll and
restore order But in neither case
will there be government by consent,
as we know it here. any more than
there is government by consent in
grammar school.
I'VE shall soon know whether
President Wilson is planning to in
teryene in Mexico and force upon
the MeXicans system to which they
have not consented"

SCHOOLS AND FARM LIFE.

So fundamental is the upbulldlng
of rural life, in the opinion of Dr.
p. L. Claxton, United States com
missioner of education, that the OBJ,
servance in the school of one day
each year as Agriculture and Rural
Life Day" should become a national
custom, instead of being confined to a
few states, as at present. Eve can
90 without some of our anniver-
saries, if need be-" says Dr. Claxton,
Ito have time for this. the most
fundamental of all. The children
in our schools should be given an
opportunity to pause in their regular
work and consider the significance
of agriculture and rural life; the
worth and worthineSs of tillage of
the soil: and the beauty and glory
of simple and sane life in the open
country
DR.. Claxton points out that in sew
eral states Agriculture and Rural
Life Day" has already been intro
duced into the schools, at the sug-
gestion of the bureau of education.
In other states exercises appropriate
TO the purpose are held in connec-
tion with Arbor day, Thanksgiving
day. or the harvest home celebration
In order to aid in the proper observ-
ance of the day, under whatever
name it may be celebrater, the bu-
reau of education has just issued a
bulletin containing material that can
be used by teacher and others in
arranging an interesting program.
Fittingly prefaced with the County
Boys Creed" the bulletin includes
sections on mans struggle for food !;
the application of science to agri-
culture: men influential in improv-
ing agriculture-from George Wash.
ington down through Luther Bur
bank. Liberty H. Bailey, and .other
present-day- men; our domestic ami
mails; and study Of forests How
vegetables have been used as medi-
cines among different peoples; bread
making through the ages; the mys-
tericS of mother earth; the origin
of food plants; cooperation among
farmers; wonders Of single acre
these and other topics treated with
special reference to clarifying coun.
try life.
Following each discussion there is
a list Of suitable poems and songs
on farming and farm life. "What
we have tried to do" said DR.. Clax-
ton yesterday, sis to get together
in convenient form material that will
help in the movement for apprecia-
ton of the true value and beauty
of farm life among all classes of
our population. The wider observ-
ance of Agriculture and Rural Life
Day, both in city and country
schools, will give the coming genera.
tion a clearer insight than the past
has had into the fact that agricul
ture is the basis of national we'll.
being. and that there is no more
honorable work in life than that Oh
