Keeping the Boy on the Farm

-.
One of the farmers most difficult
problems has been the keeping of the
boy on the farm. 1t seems to be human
AZURE that as soon "a boy arrives at
the young manhood period, the city ap-
peals very strongly tr him. ALI the
while he is attending the county school
he hears all sorts of stories about the
good times folks are having in the city.
During the summer vacation period,
his city cousin comes out to spend few
DAYS on the farm and tells him about
the amusements going on back home
and the conveniences he has in the city
of which the farm lad is deprive1. All
these rumors tend to excite the curios
ity of the ceuntry~lad and by the time
be reaches about twenty years Of age
he has decided to desert the farm, go
to the city. enjoy life and above all
make lots of money in a short time.
Up to this time he has spent all his
life on tn farm. He has learned the
cultivation of soil, the rotation of crops
and the million and one other things
necessary to the successful operation
of the farm. His value to the farmer
cannot be estimated and oftentimes
should the lad depart for the city, it is
necessary for the farmer to try and re-
place him by some fellow who is mex
perienced, which results in ~foss Of
time, production and money. Quite Of
ten such action is a detriment to the
young man as well as to the farmer.
For when he gets to the city he finds
that things are not as he had them pic
tured. He is required to- start on job
at the bottom and. oftentimes before he
has worked his way up to Irresponsible,
position, he becomes discouraged and
settles down to very ordinary life of
meager means without the possibilities
of the independent life which were af-
forded him had he remained on the
farm : q y
Now the thing which has in most
cases taken the farm boy@se the city is
the promise of more pleasure, more COM
fort and more cow enience in his living
condition Jas well as the promise Of
more pay and better advanceme mt.
Where conveniences of electric light
and power, of running water, modern
bathroom and labor saving devices of
all kinds have been installed on the
farm it is found that the boys are much
more content to stay and carry on the
work for which their early training
has fitted them. A great many farmers
heads of the families, in which there
are several boys. have realized this and
have given their farms these modern
convenenees. They have been repaid
by having their boys stay with them
instead of going to the city, -

PLAIN STUDY ESSENTIALS FOR
SCHOOLS IN COUNTIES

A program of minimum essen
tials for the courses of study in
the rural schools of Maryland
should be worked out and estab-
lished in each county, is the opin-
ion Of the county supervisors as
expressed last week at the ses-
sion Of their two-day conference
in the Park Avenue building
with state Superintendent AL
bert S. Cook. The supervisors
approved the suggestion that
this program be worked out by
William j. Holloway, State Sup
ervisor of rural schools.
Discussions Of high schools,
conducted by S. M. North, the
State Supervisor of High
Schools, entered on the establish
ment of tWo-and three-year high
schools at points in the State re-
mote from good roads or rail-
roads; an increase in the amount
of supervision necessary for
approved high schools, and a
method for procuring additional
supervisory training for princi-
pals of frst-group high schools.
The conference was unanimous
in it's approval of these three
movements.
