THE FARM LIFE SCHOOL.

THE FARM LIFE SCHOOL.
Once again the citizenship O
jackson County is called upon t.
settle at the ballot box a question o.
vital import to the Industrial de-
velopment of the County. By theiI
own act the people have builded an
excellent system of public education
and now we have come to the last
and most important link necessary
to our whole educational policy
Most important because it effects
directly the great bulk of our people
and the problems of their every day
life.
In Jackson County nature has
outdone herself in providing those
things most necessary for the hap
piness and prosperity of the child
rem of men. Here she has gathered
together the elements requisite for
health, comfort, happiness and
wealth of humanity and unfolding
them in lonely panorma placed them
at our disposal. But we must learn
to make a proper use of these things
which the God of allure has placed
in our power We must learn how
to EMO, these blessings to the fullest;
how to till the soil and make it bring
forth more abundantly, how to chain
the chrystal streams and use them
for our purpose, how to husband the
fruits of our labor and save them
Tor anOther generation. In a word
the children must be taught to think
to work, to live, and that is exactlv
what the Farm Life School is for
1t will be place where the bows
and girls of the farm can 90 and
learn the principals of their avoca
ton just like the Doctor and the
Lawyer learn the mysteries of their
profession. Where farmer boy can
learn to look 1T his soil and know
how to fertilize it. how and when 10
pillow it, what to plant in it and
when to plant it, how and when to
cultivate his crop all at the least
expense to obtain the best results
Inc soil of Jackson County can be
made to produce three, four and five
lines as much as it now does. It is
% be school where the boy can
earn the fundamentals of orchard
ng, stock raising and market garden {
ng, where the girls can learn to care
or and preserve what has been 8
made, to prepare the food for the 4
'eople and know what is best suit {
ID for the idiosyncrasies of eecs indi- a q
'Idual, where she can learn the
principles of nursing and how to
make the home a clean, healthful \
nd attractive place in which to J
i've.
This is a matter that gets mighty t
lose to the hearts of the people for O
! is one that involves the welfare j
the boys and girls. And it is not Q
Or few it is for that army, that Il
5 per cent of the children who live =
n the farm. Unless we can show Il
he children how they can live the N

'rtunes in the towns and cities or +,
