fcuried in the laps of their sleeping
husbands. For a time sleep had mer
cifully dulled their misery. Others,
stolid, but with an unforgettable
look of bewildered despair, sat upon
their belongings staring vacantly be

Washington, Feb. 25. The trend
toward belter agricultural education
Is nowhere . rotloctoil more clearly
than In the work ot the federal board
tor vocational education among the
disabled soldiers, sailors and in a
rlnes. . The number ot boys who
have been rained on farms ot the
non-progressive type is considerable,
and a largo proportion ot them now
desire to receive specialised educa
tion in order that thoy may go back
to the old home place, pull It out
ot the hnphaxnrd rut and put It on
a paying basis.
The sights these boys have seen
in France where the' thrifty French
farmer has brought intuhslve cult!
vatlon to a science to whore almost
unbelievable amounts are raised on
small acreage ' have undoubtedly
made a strong Impression upon our
returned soldiers. They have de
elded after all, scientific agriculture
and management, at which the av
erage farmer Is Inclined -to scoff,
really is something of actual value.
Many of these men are badly dis
abled and will never again be able
to rely upon brute strength, which
before the war was their chief and
only asset. They have now 'become
convinced that mere strength does
not amount to much and that it Is
the expert knowledge and ability to
direct which does county most great
ly. This education Is given them
absolutely free by the United States
government. They are sent to the
best agricultural schools In the coun
try, paid a supply allowance of $65
a month while pursuing their stud
ies, and all other expenses 'are de
frayed by the federal board. The
board ts especially anxious to get in
touch with farm boys who have re
turned and found themselves unable
to make progress , without special
training, and all letters of Inquiry
are welcomed by the board, the ad
