Bought their stuff the same old way.

When their meat bills upward flew

Vowed that they would start a crisis
To evade 'em,

Teaching Agriculture In Our Rural
Schools: A Plea For Greater Efficiency

There has been some reaction and
considerable disappointment resulting
from efforts to teach agriculture in
the public grammar schools, especial
ly when attempts have been made to
teach agriculture, say to the fourth,
fifth and sixth grades. In fact, there
are those who state that agriculture
cannot be taught in these grades.
II this were true, then nothing
could be taught to the pupils in these
grades. It is simply an absurdity.
Agriculture can be taught to any pu-
pill to whom anything else can be
taught. If a teacher can teach pu-
pill that five and seven marbles make
twelve marbles, he can teach that
same pupil that if an apple twig
grows five inches one year and seven
inches the next, it has grown twelve
inches in the two years. The num-
bers are the same, the only difference
being that in one case, in addition to
the arithmetic taught he has called
othe attention of the pupil lot of
marbles, while in the other case he
has taught an agricultural fact, name
ly that an apple twig grows about
five to seven inches in year.
The boy or girl of ten to twelve
years of age who has lived on the
farm knows considerable about agri-
culture; and this is especially true
If the parents are educated, know the
essential facts of agriculture, and
farm successfully. If the essential
facts underlying agricultural prac-
tees can be learned by boy from
eight to twelve years of age on the
farm, these facts can also be taught
in the schools, and it is simply redic-
ulous for anyone to contend that they
cannot.
The difficulties which have been
encountered in the attempts to teach
agriculture to the fifth and sivth
grade pupils are not due to any lack
of the teachability of agriculture;
agricultural facts can be taught as
we'll as commercial or any other kind
of facts, but the difficulties are in
our city-made textbooks and in our
inefficient teachers.
OF course, the lack of education,
especially along agricultural lines, in
the homes or on the farms, also Of
fers an obstacle to the teaching of
agriculture in the public schools. If
the parents Of the pupils were edu-
Gated there would be less difficulty
in educating the children, but the
fact that most parents are not edu-
Gated for efficiency in their business
of farming makes it all the more nee
essary that the effort be continued
and much increased to teach at least
some agriculture in the rural schools.
The education Of the rural pupil in
agriculture should start with the very
lowest grades and continue in a ru-
raj school, and this could be done,
and the agriculture of the South rev.
olutionized in a generation, without
in the least lessening the teaching of
language, arithmetic and geography,
the three subjects taught in all
schools. But before this can be eff

10 cents. as compared with last week
While very little buying is in progress
for future delivery, spot purchases are
increasing and manufacturers are in the
market looking for silks to carry them
along from day to day. Leading raw
silk firms are certain that prices will
remain firm and are more likely to in
crease than decline.
Shanghai is shade weaker and
prices have been quoted down from to
10 cents: movement is light. but the
supply in hand Is small and some buyers
are unable to get what they would like
