or race lines than bird All that is
lasting and sound in German culture,
for example, has already conquered
the earth, or is conquering 1t. We
could be no more thoroughly subdued
By German culture, Goethe, Kant,

armies OF all Europe extingush one
fota of German culture which was true
culture.
I'VE still think that the truly cul-
tured man, like the truly cultured ma
tion, is not arrogant, but teachable;
that he does not seek German truth, or
English truth, or French truth, or
American truth--but truth that he
is simple in his life and humble in his
point of view, and that he is coura-
geous with the courage which is will
ing not only to die for his convictions
when the multitude is with him, but
to die with equal quietude for his con
victions when the multitude is against
him. He may even be brave enough
not to kill his fellow men when his
country is mad with the lust for kill
ing. We still think that the truly cul-
tured man will not calculate the
chance Of living or dying, but win con-
slider whether in doing anything as
Socrates says, he is doing right or
wrong, acting the part Of good man
or bad.

FARM FACTS.

(Peter Radford, Lecturer National
Farmers Union.)
Cheap money will solve many Of the
farmers problems.
There is not enough of the commun
ity spirit among our rural districts
Success in farming depends largely
upon proper market methods, cheap
money and cooperation.
Something is wrong in our market
ing system when a small crop brings
more money than bountful one
Cooperation between practical farm
ers and proficient business men will
eliminate ignorance and prejudice.
The highest duty of state and fed
eral governments is to place agricul-
tural education within the reach Of all
The farmer cannot be helped until
he organizes, and the government can
best help the farmer through organiza-
ton.
BY cooperating with his neighbor
the farmer can learn new methods CT
culture and the interchange of ideas
will benefit both.
The nations menu must be made uD
from the fields, pastures, orchards and
gardens, and to farm intelligently the
farmer must know what is needed

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
TRUE CULTURE TO SURVIVE.


Equally as fierce but somewhat less
sanguinary than the operations upon
the battle field has been the conflict
that has ragged about the word "cul-
ture' since the war began. No sooner
was the stupendous struggle started
than the bold savants of the various
nations stepped into the breach TO
show us that in the last analysis each
of the billigerents was fighting for the
preparation of its own peculiar brand
Of culture which was superior to all
others. 1t has been conclusively es-
tablished that If the Germans should
40 down in defeat, medieval darkness
would again hover over the earth and
II has been just as completely demon
strated that the failure Of the allies
would mean the triumph OF barbarian
ideals.
The amount Of learning that has
been brought to bear in the course Of
this argument is simply amazing. Ger
man, French and English scholars have
Joined in the fray and the Russians
have also had their say. Likewise,
many erudite American doctors have
thrown neutrality to the winds in or
der to contribute their quota to the

sitions have been written merely in
the effort to distinguish between Ger
man "kultur' and the ordinary, every
day culture"
Gloomy enough is the prospect for
the world regardless Of what may be
the outcome of the struggle, If we are
to accept the ably sustained argu-
ments and prophecies Of the sky-scrap-
er intellects of the interested nations,
However, after listening to the testi-
mony and logic of the high-brows, we

highly trained intellect, in discussing
such a question, finds 1t impossible to
eliminate the personal equation, alias
prejudice, racial or national The
problem inevitably presents varying
aspects when viewed through German,
French and English eyes and 1t Is
therefore unreasonable to expect the
scholars of the rival nations or their
ardent protagonists to agree in their
conclusions. Personally, we prefer to
take the view advanced by Mr.. Ray
Stannard Baker who has put it SO
MUCH better than we could express i
that we give you his own words:
