THE HIGHER EDUCATION

Inc most encouraging thing about
higher education i'll the United
states is the fact that the number of
students is increasing, yet when We
consider the wealth of the countr,.
ana lts great population a total
OF 2l6,493 in the colleges and uni
Nerslties is not large number. There
ought to be five times as many.
In former years it was not surpris-
ing that SO few looked beyond the
secondary schools. The cost of the
higher education was much greater
than IT is at present, and the activi-
ueS OF life were not so highly devel-
oped that college education was
'r"med 80 much of an advantage
marked change has taken place
Industry has been specialized TO so
nigh degree that the expert has the
call. The arts and sciences are open-
ing up great opportunities for the
ambitious youth. And money is
pouring into the treasures so
''''"''iN 'lldN llt Cost OF tuition
is a relatively small factor, DESPITE
the wonderful growth of the insti
tutions. Last year the benefa ctions
totaled $26, 6,67O,Ol7, an increase of
about $2,000.OOO over the wear
year previous. Outright gifts from
year to year, in addition to the mil
hons given by Mr.. Rockefeller and
by Mr.. Carnegie, for general endow-
ment and for the pensioning Of teach
Hrs, make up a magnificent income
apart from that contributed by the
students. The ambitious young man
and young woman are wonderfully
blessed in having so much incentive
to aspire to something beyond the
nigh school and the academy. The
cost OF education could be yet furth
er reduced, without increase in
income OF the colleges and univer-
stiles confined themselves to essen
tials and wasted less money in at

ma ntainance OF comparatively use

The demand for lit men has in

The brains OF the country have
recognized this shortage and are
now turning their attention to in
creasing the supply. The first eff
forts have been toward increasing
the efficiency of the men who are now
in business. in factories, in profes-
sions. Hence, the advent of the
special schools and the correspon-
dence schools. Many institutions
maintain their own schools in their
own establishments. securing for
instructors some OF the leading men
In their various lines OF endeavor.

conducted to give the men now en-

worth to their employers.

the shortage in the supply Of efficient
workmen have directed their secon-
Diary efforts to increasing the eff

of practical education. II is their
contention that under former meth

But there is an increasing demand

Agriculture is the great primary
business or pursuit of the human
race without it the world would
perish Were nature to lock nm her
stores and refuse to produce. or the
farmers Of the world refuse to work
Tor single year, anarchy and
chaos exceeding all power of imagi-
nation would follow.
There are certain definite nrin-
cples in this business we know as
farming. or agriculture. which lead
to the conclusion that the only safe
ana permanent system of agriculture
must be founded upon reasonable
diversification.
Did you ever think of the condi
tion of the cotton farmer of the
South; of the dilemma he faceso
The only way in the world YOU can
improve a one-crop system is to pro
duce more of that one crop. and
when you do that the markets of the
world are glutted, the price drops.
and your effort to improve brings its
own disaster.
Forty years ago the state of
Iowa went through long period of
change from one-crop. narrow
and unproductive
agriculture to diversified and pro-
ductive agriculture, and today
doubt whether there is a territory of
similar extent in the country more
prosperous or more productive than
that state.
IF the bankers and credit mer-
chants OF the South still fail to lend
their constructive backing to the
OF self-supporting ag-
riculture and are still going to make
their loans and finance the agricul-
ture of the south as a one-crop agri-
culture, then we are going to have
one-crop agriculture until such
time as human nature breaks and we
have revolution which will over
throw the present system.
"The first and most important
proposition for the whole cotton ter
