WAR VETS FORM A
FARMING DISTRICT
First Community to Be Estab.
liShed by Veterans Bureau

Canton, Miss, March Sixteen
veterans of the World War, trained
in agricultural schools by the United
States Veterans Bureau, have been
located upon farms near here by
Blair Harrison, chief Of rehahilita-
ton for the sixth district of the bu-
reau, as an experiment. 1t is the
first farming community to be cstab-
lished by the bureau in its effort to
return to their proper station in So
ciety men disabled in the conflict
Each veteran has been given a
fully equipped 40-acre farm, facing
upon highway and it has been ar
ranged that he may own the prop
erty within a few years. The farms
comprise part OF an initial tract of
1850 acres sent aside by citizens of
Canton and it is proposed ultimately
to have $50 veterans in the vicinity
and to have under cultivation APP
proximately 1900 sores of truck
land.
The underwriting Of the venture is
by the local Chamber of Commerce,
which raised a FUND to guarantee
bhithS lNi NdllStu W tOll~
struct homes and for other purposes.
Each of the first sc farmers has
"rest egg" saved from payments
made by the bureau during his pc
Rod of training but part of each
monthly compensation check must go
toward payment for the land and
other equipment furnished by the bu-
reau and citizens of Canton.
In addition to his land each vet
cran will have a specially constructed
house of three rooms with two
porehes, one screened for sleeping.
They also will have their own school
at which they may continue their ag-
ricultural education and at which
their children will pursue the usual
school work.
In order that the farms may be
stocked the Illinois Central Railroad

DR.. Henry S, Pritchett, president or
the Carnegie Foundation for the Al
vancemcnt of Teaching declared in
his annual report.
The conception that the public
school is an agency in which any
child may be taught any subject" he
said, lis fundamentally unsound and
leads to expense beyond any mans
ability to estimate,
IF the demands of the schools con-
tinue to increase at the present rate
the inability of society to pay the
cost must bring about radical cur
tailments. The public school will be
endangered unless its cost is brought
within limits that the public can
bear, and unless it fulfills the prim-
airy objects for which it exists.
THE increase in cost is due partly
to increase in numbers, the better
ment of facilities. the improvement of
teachers salaries. But a large part
of the increase is due to the fact that
the school is no longer conceived of as
primarily an intellectual agency, but

the government of Sweden has con-
tributed 120,000,000 crowns or $780,
100000 to the building of a total Of
10000 homes since 1905, according
to calculations made by the Swedish
department of agriculture.
The 'egna hem" literally own

proved a blessing in enabling young
people, and others with limited
means. to settle on small farms and
to erect coy dwellings through the
help of money loaned at low interest
and on easy terms of repayment
