In Farm and Fireside Herbert Quick writes on
the advantages of having practical education in
rural schools. Following is extract:
If our boys and girls given the right sort of
education at home they will desert us and go
to the city. They will stay the farm if they are
so educated as to feel that the farm they may
become successful.
In an Iowa county the rural pupils exam
med as to what they wanted to do with their lives
Most OF the boys and almost all the girls answered
that they meant to leave the farm when they grew
Two years afterward the boys and girls in the
same schools We're asked the question. Most of
the girls and almost all the boys that they
meant to stay the farm.
What had made the change? Just this: the
teachers had been given practical work do
in the schools. They had been working in the
schools on farm matters and the girls had been
studying cooking, sewing, housekeeping and the
care of the house and children. And they had for
gotten about leaving the farm
They had been doing pleasant, interesting, prac
