TWO THINGS NEEDED
In COUNTRY LIFE
State Prize Winner In Maryland Week
Essay Contest Urges Education
and Organization.
JESSE M. HUNTINGTON,
Wicomico County.

Education is most important mat
ter in our country life. Our farmer
boys and girls should be trained in
country industries. Our boys should
be taught the general principles of
farming, farm management, crop and
animal production, and the like. This
work should be tstarted in the ele-
mentary grades, continuing throughout
their school days. Our girls should
learn household economy and home
sanitation. With such training in child
hood, any country girl is better fitted
for the many problems which confront
her in later life.
A consolidated school in each rural
community instead of so many small
one-teacher schools would meet an
urgent need in many communities. Ad-
vantages gained by having a consoh-
dated school are more competition, bet
ter equipment, and more specialized in
struction. Our high schools ought also
to be provided with means for giving
agricultural courses, particularly,
winter short courses for the benefit of
the older farmer boys. They should
also have classes for training rural
teachers, as many Of our teachers do
not understand the needs and prob
lens of country life. Our normal
schools should train teachers especial
ly for country schoolsA Our Agricul-
tural College ought to be looked up to
as the greatest institution in the State
devoted to teaching agriculture. Stu
dents either intending to be teachers
or farmers should be encouraged to
attend it. The agricultural short
courses held there are of unreasonable
value to the agricultural interests.
We need also to promote local or
CARNATIONS in our rural communities.
Local Improvement associations work
effectively for improved roads, better
schools, and more effective local gov
eminent. Women's clubs are useful
in aiding our country mothers to be-
come better home keepers, and secure
necessary recreation. Boys and
Girls Clubs give the boys enthusiasm
for farming, and teach them improved
methods, while they create in our girls
an interest in household economy and
give them the social life they need.
The local grange has rendered valu-
able services in promoting improved
living conditions, better agricultural
methods, the elimination of unneces.
sary middlemen, economy and honesty
in government, and satisfactory edu-
cational facilities.
In Maryland, particularly, the Afa-
lated Agricultural Societies, promot-
ing the Maryland Week Exhibition,
have been particularly helpful in af-
fording an opportunity for the States
agricultural resources and meeting
place for our city and country people.
The Essay contest for the boys and
girls of the public schools, which they
supervise, is an inducement to US to
study our agricultural problems and
help us become more useful men and
women. 1t is good thing, that we
have these societies and associations
in our State. They are much needed.
We should have them in every com
munity in Maryland.
