VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
(Gastonia Gazette.).


No less an authority than N. w
Walker, of the faculty of the State
University and State Inspector OF
high schools, pleads for vocational
training in our schools and for tne
elimination of the so-called classics.
The problem before our schools is
that of preparing the "a per cent for
life, not the per cent. for college.
OF what use to a man is the know
ledge of Greek and Latin roots after
he leaves school? This view woui1
a few years ago have seemed vepy
radical to large number of educa-
tors. Mr.. Walker admits that few
years ago he would have hooted at
the idea of leaving out the Latin. He
says;
THE only claim that can be made
for Latin in the high school courses,
Sc far as the large majority of stu
dents are concerned, is that it fur
nishes mental discipline; but it is
a question whether other studies or
6 vocational nature can not be used
that will furnish just as good mental
discipline. This may all seem heresy
to those who still cling to the old;
few years ago it would have seemed
so to the writer
If Latin. Greek, etc., train the mind
why will not manual training, domes
tic science, chemistry, ETC., train the
mind and the hand as well?

The farm-life school, training the
country boys in practical agriculture,
and the country girl in the home
building and housekeeping features OF
rural life, constitutes, in its introduc-
ton into North Carolina perhaps the
most singularly promising and con-
structiVely valuable forward step in
edpcati al policy and practice which
the state has taken in the past decade
The county farm-life school has
come to North Carolina to stay. It
is the biggest movement In rural edu-
cation, It has the approval and supz
port Of the country people and they
will not be satisfied until one such
school is established in every county.
Beginning rather experimentally with
three schools in Guilford in 1911, the
idea has grown until three others
we're in actual operation during the
school year 1874, ten more have
completed preparations and will open
next fall, at least five other counties
have campaigns on foot, and every
few weeks new county starts cam
paign.

Trains for County Life.

Trains for County Life.
The farm-life school goes to the
root of our educational deficiency 1t
trains the country child for country
life. North Carolina is an agricultur-
al State primarily Eighty-two per
cent and more of our population is
ruraf Our future lies in the building
p OF a great farming State. Educa-
ton is preparation for life, and if
cighty-two per cent OF our life is
'farm-life," we must have tfarm-life
training" in our education.
Being first in historical development,
the city schools first worked out we'll
defined courses OF instruction, their
curricula being fashioned with the
.LUrpose of training city youth for its
environment, city life. These curr.-
cula, however, became formal and
rsmifed not only in the city schools
nat in the rural as we'll, and our coun-.
try boys and girls have been receiving
virtually the same educational train
ing as that devised for the city child.
The pa1pable result of this has beef
the educating of the country children
away from country life. The schools
taught them nothing of practical value
which they could not put to use on
their fathers farms, nothing about
how to plant and fertilize crops, moth
ing about scientific crop ratation, live
stock raising, and fruit culture. Aad
80 they left the farm and went to the
city to be clerks, Iaborers, profession
al men, anything but what they should
lave been by heredity and environ
ment-farmers.
The farm-1ife school throws itself
sauarely in the path of this tendency
to de-ruralize our rural States. Il
checks that exodus of our best coin-
try blood to the cities which would
in the long run have entirely sapped
the vitality of an agricultural State
Ii interests the boy in farm-life by
teaching him about it. And it not only
teaches the country boy to raise bet
ter crops and herds and to extract
better sustenance from his narive soil,
but it teaches him the essential dig
nifty and nobility of the life of the far
mer. and shows him how to make that
