THE INDIANA TRADE LAW

That public opinion Is rapidly
ripening for the lntl oductlon OF
vocational schools is shown ly
the fact that five states have de
termined to introduce it. Tn
fortunately all of them require
that the child be at least fourteen
years Of age. The experience III
the Cleveland school, shows clear-
ly that it should begin with sixth
grade children, who are eleven
or twelve years old.
The best of the state laws Is
that of Indiana which will be IN
effect during the next school
year.
This law provides for a unit
system of vocational education,
that is, a system under the adj
ministration of the state board OF
education, the local boards ot
education, and advisory com
mittees appointed by the loca!
boards. Provision is made for a
deputy superintendent in charge
Of industrial and domestic science
education, and for an agent 20
supervise agricultural education.
This agent, who will serve in a
dual capacity as state agent and
! as assistant at Purdue Univers-
.ity, is to get selected from those
actively connected with Purdue 5
agricultural extension depart
ment.
The act also provides for coun-
ty agents, half Of whose salaries
will be paid by the state. These
agents will be appointed only in
response to petition from the
counties desiring them. The dut-
les of the county agent viii in
clude work in all fields that have
proved helpful and stimulating
in promoting rural welfare, sue,p
as farm demonstrations, ami
boys and girls clubs.
State aid, as provided for in
the new law, will be given to
the amount of two-thirds the sum
expended for instruction in voc l.
tional and technical subjects, al
thOrized and approved by the
state board Of education. The

We have no intention to crlE

sum total of khis particular di-
vision of human knowledge, hav-
ing but ashes and dry bones As

tigation. On the contrary, we
! lave the temerity to believe that

tion which are as yet undisclOsed,
even to the superior perception
of our agricultural savants. The
fact that we still have the weevil
with us in undiminished numbers
after several years Of experiment
and advice contributed by fhhese
same experts. would tend DO sup
port the theory that there re-
mained something yet to be
learned in connection with the
problem. We do not question
the attainments of the Govern
ment experts, nor the good that
has been ace omplished by their
experiments and teaching, but we
do feel that they are somewhat
intolerant when. not satisfied
with claiming the monopoly of ali
holl weevil knowledge. they az
sail, belittle and discourage those
who. by independent practical
.endeavor. are seeking to reach a
result which the said experts,
with all their scientific iilumina

I to notice Of the fact nm order that
they might make the experiment
if they saw fit to do SO. We did
! not recommend the remedy as
efficacious, but merely called
thereto the attention Of those in
terested. From the character Of
,'the testimony before us we be-
l'heved the experiment was JUST
tied; and, by reason Of the fact
that the proper application of the
amixture involved constant work
ing Of the crop, which all agree
is a most important factor in the
weevil fight, we believed that.
regardless Of the merit OF the
mixture, the application thereof
would necessarily bring good re-
salts. Without the remotest in

motive Of trying to iseap,iin the

in which the cotton farmers and
