Blazing the Wrong Trail

One of the leading farm journ-
ais of tho south is authority for
the statement That in the rural
high schools of North Carolina
seven thousand children are
studying Latin, while only sew
On hundred arc studying ugri-
culture.
The Significance Of these fig.
ures are not grnspcd until we
learn that Of the pupils attend
ing high school in this country
not more than one per cent ever
reach the collage or university.
When we asslmiluto the fur
ther fact that the high schools
do not aud can not impurt
working knowledge of the Lat
i'll language, we begin TO ap.
preciato the utter foolishncss
Of an educational system that
forces upon children the study
of II dead language from which
not one in 1000 will ever bene-
fit.
The above figures may vary
III other stntes-we hope they
do. But they serve To call for
chilly 10 our attention Il giaring
fault i'll the school system of
the United States.
Any system that requires
boys and girls (who in many
cases can i'll afford the time and
means to attend even high
SCHOOL, 10 waste from n quarter
To fifth of their school life on
II study that will never benefit
them in life's struggle, is not a
blunder-it is n crime.
Consider again. OF the 1000
studying latin, there are only
700 studying agriculture. These
figures also may vary in other
states, but still any one famil.
lar with the school system Of
this country knows that the
proportion Of our rural boys and
girls who secure competent
education in agriculture is la
mentally small.
And what is the conclusion:
Why, we IRE welded in our
schools to a fossilized, petritied
and Anticipated system that or
dams that in order TO acquire
an education" one must be
conversant with II language
that is 80 cvorlnstingly dead it
has not been generally spoken
on earth in the last thousand
years. Aud this while the cry
ing, burning needs Of the hour
are sidctrackcd as of minor i'm.
portance.
Il il time for the rural popu
lation Of our country TO arise in
their might and demand tha,
the schools cease educating
their children away from the
farm.
The professions are over
crowded, and the trades are in
even worse condition. The
farmers job is the only ono in
this land that promises career
without the paraiyzing compe-
tition to be met in other lines
ie, instead OF being trained for
efficiency in this great calling
our youths are compelled TO
frittor away their time on n
course of study that, to be- in
any sense beneficial, must be
followed through the college or
uniyersity-which the very
smallest per cent of them ever
reach.
