PLENTY OF Tools.


Mr.. Bender says that in every
school where agriculture IS taught
as special course the school district
pupils taking such work, have at hand
farms. working tools and equipment,
valued at 100000. This he says IS
more than any state could afford to
expend in buying county agricultural
school farms.
"We teach short course in agrl-
culture, and follow this up by send
ing the classroom instructors out into
the fields to carry on practical work
with their pupils" said Mr.. Bender
"The pupil, working on his fathers
farm, and with home tools and equip
ment, is naturally interested. For,
whatever profit comes by way of bet
ter crops, animals, or produce, the pn'
pill and his parents derive the direct
benefit. The pupil- have the use OF
equipment which the state is not
called upon either TO furnish or keep
up. 1t is a good bargain for the coun
try school district taxpayers and also
for the taxpayers in general.
