PRESS COMMENT

Green's Fruit Grower-A principal
of a country high school has told a
tale out of school. Not single grad
uate of his institution is actively en-,
gagged in agriculture. The problem of
rural higher education is partly a
problem of educating into them Xix
ing for rural pursuits. And this is
the most difficult problem of country
education. The higher mis-education
of country youth is just the failure
to recognize this difficult problem of
country education-and the failure
to deal with it as wisely as possible.
Orange Judd Farmer-The secret
program of the radicals in the new
labor movement appears to be the
unionization of farm labor. Are en-
envy aliens back Of this effort? The
