MARCH 17. 1904 BOOK LARNIN' " One of the greatest difficulties that learned men have to con tend with in the diattimimition of the knowledge thny have gathered from long and careful observation uf nalure, unci pains tailing labor in collecting the observation of others, is the seeming resentment of the masses f to such knowledge. This resentment is expressed in the sententious pbruRO "book larniu'. " The term senten tious is used deliberately and after much rellcction, for it is a popular expression coined by the common folks to express their distrust and unwillingness to accept, what appears to them mere dogmas of the learned based upon speculution and theories and not upon facts dis covered by human observation, or proven to bu true by actual experiment under a wide enough ruiige of conditions to entitle them to universal ac ceptance as true. The coinage and use of this term ia complimenttiry tj the common mind of the people ot our race for it bears with it evi dence tli at the common sense of the Anglo Saxon race grasped tlio great truths upou which the Inductive eynloin of reasoning from ascertained facts long be fore it was received by the learned. The common souse- of the com inon people demanded fulls and not theories, surmises an.) speculations to support a propo sition. For u long serifs of yours the loanic-il shut them solves up in studios and behind tho walls of colleges and uni vei'sities, refusing to take the common j.eoi.l into their con tidence; for many years to tuaki their isolation from tho pceplt moro complete; recorded their observations and wrote bock? ou philosophy and the natural scioudea in foreign or dead languages titul when they un bent their dignity, and in hum ility, wroto for the common people in native English their essays were but condensed dog mas . and arrogant theories which they demanded the com mon folks to accept in total ig noruuee of the facts upon which they were bated. In rnur.y instances, when treating on agriculture, the learned recluses asked the farm ers to ignore their own exper. ience based upon facts gathered in their own lives and that of their ancestors for hundreds o. years, and accept their dogmas, without deigning to give theiu a single one of the thousands .'of facts they hid patiently gathered insupportof their proposition for a change. This the peoplo resented by coining the term "Book Liarnin' " which to them meant the reverse of knowledge derived from experience, for they could not know and were given jo means of knowing the facts from which t tie now propo sitinn was , inducted. In un queotioning faith the people were asked to accopt thedogmas of the learned. This, be it said, in honor of the people, tboy refused to do. When learned profossors pounded their desks in their addresses nt country fairs tolling tlipjyeomanry that plants must have nitrogenous food, organic matter, phosphor ic acid, alkalies, alkaloids, hum uis, oxogen, carbon and a yet lengthened string of luliu named things to enable them to thrive and keep the farm from becoming crapoveriahed, the rustics in their manhood turned away with a sneer and the ex pression "Darn your book lam in', " bam yard maiiu.ro bono -lust and such things as fether and his father used will do mo and keep my farm up." Now that the learned talk English and give facts, tho farmers wel come them. Iowa has just paused a law prohibiting tho docking of horses tails. Central Church of Christ Opposito Sonimer House.
