A paper raad at tha Farmer's Instl tata bald at Island City, Oregon, Mai on 9, 1906, by Mrs Mary E Fraker, Lecturer of illue Mountain Grange, La Grande, Oregon Ed a cation la one of tbe fundamental principle! underlying tbe Grange, and each year tbe subject of agricultural education, la particular, la ooming more Into public notice. Skill Id farming is opon as and la bare to star. Tbere nerer was a time when the old adage, "Knowledge is Power," could be more tratbfaily applied than to tbe business of farming today. Tbe at tendance at all of oar sgrioulture schools and colleges throughout the country Is increasing esob year, and It Is plain to be seen that tba farmer of the future Is not a msn by himself, but a man among men. Tbe terms "Hay seed" and "Reuben" will soon be of the past. Tbe time has long since gone by for tbe farmer to timidly take a back seat. Ilia place la right op In the front row as the equal. If not the superior of The farmer and every member of bis family are entitled to the highest po sition socially, politically and In every other way. ; Now In regard to our boys and girls It baa been tratbfaily said that, "The future of any nation depends upon the boys and girls on its farms. " Educa I won and training pay on the farm just I as they pay eltewhere In life. It should be the aim to educate that farm boys and girls in their surround Ings. Teach them all you know of the milky way, but do not neglect to teach them the way to milk House hold Science should not be neglected by our girls. Very little attention has been given to this science and its great worth la not fully appreciated. Many a pan of biscuit or loaf of bread would not come to snob an untimely end If this science were better understood by oar yoang housekeepers. Every farm child ought to have some Instruction In elementary agriculture and horticulture. Where there is one person who Is Interested in Greek roots and Latin cougegation and tbe classics, there are hundreds who are Interested In wheat, and live stock, and fruit. In Missouri, I understand that each applicant to teach school most pass an examination showing that be Is quail fled to teach agriculture. For the past five years this bas been one of the requirements for an applicant to ob tain a first grade certificate. The state normal schools have bad depart ments of agriculture and nature study Instruction was also given to tbe teachers at the county institutes by members of the agricultural collate faculty. Missouri bas been working for fifteen years slong this line and bas now gotten fairly started. That state appears to be In tbe lead in this matter. Illinois and Indiana how ever, are not far behind. , Nature teaoblng should be In all of oar rural schools. It Is such teaching that the child mind craves, with It the school beoomes a delightful place and the teaoher an angel of light Is it not likely 1 bat a child who is thus taught will soon begin to see a new value and dignity In farm UN and be impressed with a desire to remain on tbe farm instead of going to tbe cityt Oar schools should be supplied with a good library wblob should consist of a liberal number of books in agricul ture and nature study. In tbe average rural school with, pupils of all ages and stages of advancement, tLere is multiplicity of classes that makes it a dluiOalt matter to grade pupils in a sat Isfaotory way. Tbe only practical solution of this problem would be In centrallaatio , ns then a better grading of schools aud dassinoatl n 'of pupils could be obtained besides numerous other advantages. This plan will render tbe teaching of agriculture ooinparauveiy easy, Out uum this is sooonipiiahed much can be done, as anyone, if be makes up bis mind, can fit himself tor teaching bow to prepare tbe soil for planting and cultivating a tew of our leading farm crops The farm boys' education should not cease be.e, Our boys ate face i. face with conditions that deniaud edu cation and training euun to that ot any pmlenxioo on earth, thernluie, whan poeiblt, a thorough knowledge of agricultural soivnee should be ob tained within oollrge walln, where the oompueitiou and management of tltr soils may be teamed, the un of fain, machinery and tbe growing of farm crops, and the feeding, breeding and judging ot farm animals. In bortioul tare, the management of garden and orchard. In dairying, how ti feed and car for the cow, aud how to at.lis- her pioduots. In entomology they will be uught to know insect friends and enemies. Botany teaches them the law which governs plant growth. Ia chem istry, they learn the compos ition and value ol tbe feed which their live stock con aumee.and of tbe fertilizers witb which they feed their crops In the veteri nary class they will be taught ho to treat the common diseases of farm animals. All of this tbey most know bow to keen pace witb tbe progress of QLASSiriED Advertisement For Sale th antiaLh Aanlnrv The question mty arise In tbe minds ol soma of you what about the far mers of toJev? Tbe men who are ac tually in tbe harness, and who cannot avail themselves ol tba education ceneiee inat mentioned? Must they -D plod along as their fathers and grand fathers did before tbemt Qaite to the contrary. These msn and their wives may arrange, I am quite sure , to tsks up a systematic oourta of reading and study in agriculture and domestic science in tbe subordinate Granges under tbe direction of the Agricultural college of tbe state. And then a great deal of valuable information that may bejobtained from tbe various agri. cultural papers now published. 80 you see it is never too late to improve the. mind, and,," where tbere is a will, there is a way." Ia conclusion, I woald ed that yontb comes but once, and that the pathway ol this life is trodden only noe, that it is all important, before taking np tbe chief work of life, to be dtted lor it as best you can and to make the very best of tbe talent that nature b as given you.
