EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Education formerly meant an ability to
write polished Latin verse to think in
terms incomprehensible to the mob. and
TO feel a proper disdain for all things
material today it is being given the
meaning of an ability to take ones part
in industry. in business and in the oper-
alton of the farm. One of the most sig
nificant and definite Foundations yet at
tempted of this newer education and its
scope will be made at the conference for
education in the south, which is to be
held in Louisville Ky, next week, April
: TO 10. The object of the conference
Is the promotion of the physical we'll
being of all southern farmers, and upon
this basis the development of a higher,
fuller culture.
The best educated man of yesterday
was the most helpless where business
Was concerned. He knew much about the
personal habits of the trilobite. could
give accurate information concerning the
sources of the drama and poetry of the
ancient Greeks. and was able to trans
mute facts Of life into a metaphysics of
the universe. But he knew less than
nothing of making and selling things.
while his knowledge of the farm came of
Inemoried bits of pastoral and rustic
poetry. The oldest note in education was
that Of rearing up a race of men above
manual. dcQusitive labor. The newest
note seeks to identify the educated man
with productive labor, rather than to di-
vOrce him from the practical. Instead
of the uphuilding of a class, its object
is primarily cooperation, at most lead
ership in cooperative effort. The new
education is interesting experiment
for the making of culture democratic.

While the results to be accomplished

more or less hazy as
Plans Simple far as the non-profes-
1n sional public has been
anu oeAnito. concerned, the plans
10 be evolved at Louisville are unique
In that they are so simple and so definite.
The unit to be educated, according to the
outline for the work of the conference, is
the community. This unit is subdivfded
into four principal sections-the men,
women. boys and girls. The agencies to
he employed in the practical and cultural
education of each unit are the country
school, the country church and commu-
nifty organizations. such as cooperative
farmers associations. farmers clubs.
boys corn clubs. girls canning clubs and
women's clubs for home-making and So
cial development. The objects are i'm
proved methods of cultivation, conserva-
ton Of natural resources, cooperative
marketing, capital and manufacture more
nutritious food. sanitary homes, develop
ment of community utilities. promotion of
community moral and cultural progress
and the bringing about of the land-own-
ing in place of the tenant farmer.
Thus, the project of the conference goes
beyond the public schools, colleges, uni
correspondence schools. 1t plans the in
crease of the happiness. independence,
usefulness and culture of every normal
member in every rural community in the
south. 1t plans the careful training of
every individual. not only along school,
special and documentary lines, but in
everything for the Strengthening of the
effectiveness of his endeavors and the en-
richment of his and his communitys life.
To add. if possible, to the interest and
novelty of the project, 1t is proposed to
accomplish this comprehensive education
and material advancement Of a nation of
people through themselves. The educa-
tional method will be cooperation. The
pedagogic masters of the community will
he all of its members The courses will
be on material welfare, health, recreation
and general culture. In short, the con-
ference will propose for its task the most
inclusive. yet definite. educational pro-
gram of historic times Nevertheless,
the machinery by which the task is to be
realized is simple and immediate.

conference at Louisville will be devoted to
munity organization. Members who will
come from every section of the south will
have place in this model unit. and will be
made acquainted with its workings as
whole. After the conference. they will
propa gate its lessons, each as leader in
his home community.
The work of teaching the farmers of
the south the advantages of the model
community will be done in two ways.
There will be demonstrations and confer
eaces of members. As the foundation of
the community, the first demonstration
will be that of the home. This will fall
into several divisions. The best arrange
nent and equipment of the home will be
demonstrated Housing needs. cost. site,
plans and construction will be handled.
Installation of plumbing to the best sani-
tary advantage and the greatest con-
venience will be shown: also, the ap-
planes and arrangement for the best
lighting, heating. laundry and kitchen
will be explained. Much attention will
he given to a thorough treatment Of labor
saving devices in the home.
The conference leaders confidently ex-
pect to convince the members that the
overWorked farmers wife, the drudge
whom rough and unremitting labor robs
of comeliness and wider interests while
still young IN years, is inexcusable both
10 herself and to her husband in this late
age. The members will be shown how
special training and proper equipment
shall enable the housewife to perform all
her many duties well and still have plenty
OF time for recreation and mental growth
This aim forms part also, of the seconG
demonstration, that on household man
agement. Under this head, daily pro-
grams. menus, meal serving and related
things will be explained.
