RURAL SOCIAL PROGRESS

The University of Missouri has established special
training for rural social workers. under
its college of agriculture Farm management rural econ
omcs marketing and rural sociology given special
study in many agricultural Schools but nowhere else has
the training of social workers been brought into such
close and helpful contact with these branches and with
rural life in general
The director of this training department says:
whole idea has been to bring the student and the
lob together We have assumed that should be able
to turn people thoroughly trained for all phases of
their work. But do expect students to get thor

LONG LIFE

There used to be considerable doubt whether it
possible for being live for century Reports of
cenenarians not convincing to people with taste for
statistics and documentary evidence That doubt how
ever pretty well swept Recently there has
been an avalanche of items about people alive or de-
parted from fe anywhere from 100 to 1876 of age
Most of them very likely have been exaggerated tai les
based as usual tradition and unntentonal distortion
rather authentic data But many of them seem be-
yond controversy Among the latter be set the latest
case that of John Drysdae West Virginia farmer who
according the family record was born in Scotland IN
1896.
1t will be observed however, that practically all of
these longevity have to do with people
living simple plain uneventfu lives far removed from
the world of action and progress that attention is paid
to them until their death Is long life greatly to be
desired when it can said that the most important part
of it is its end?
Far more desirable seems the ideal represented by the
deathbed words of Theodore Roosevelt who finished his
course at an age comparatively early Il have had full
life and happy one. Properly estimated Roosevelt
lived longer than any score these vauned cenenarans put

So Uncle Wiggily and the boy beau
