Agrii'iilt uri" is some day fi"ing ! he taught in the pulilii
schools. I'lverymie agrees llial the man who is going to
follow any profession or oiTiipat ion other than farming
stands no chance in the world without a thorough profes
sional edueal ion. Yet there are people who eaunot under
stand why a farmer needs an agrieiill ural edueal ion, hut
the need will come homo to the young men of the future,
who have to take their lathers' plaees. For they may find
Ihe farms exhausted f plant food and not paying for the
time, labor and capital invested in them. Their fathers
hegan with new land, hut there is now not much new land,
and so these young men have got to apply the scientific
methods to worn-out, land in order to produce crops at a
profit.
The .jump from the old to the new fanning is a long
one, and can only he accomplished by a series of steps.
The plan advocated hy Orchard and Nome, a San Francis
co publication, which is making a fight for this, is to be
gin in the grammar schools when the mind of the youth is
easily molded and before he gets prejudiced by 1:U old
fashioned ideas. Here, a course of "nature study,'' which
would he demonstrations of the different farm practices,
would help the children to understand the underlying prin
ciples of agricultural practice, ami at the same time stim
ulate an interest in their environment and a desire to gc
on to the higher schools, where they would gel, the technical
1 raining.
1 The higher schools would be Ihe ordinary high school,
with agricult lire added to t he course. The technical course
should be accompanied by courses in chemistry and phy
sics, as all the improvement, in agriculture is based on thesi
Iwo sciences, ami improvement niiisl lollow when young
men are turned out complied with a knowledge of Ihe best
agricultural methods, together with a broad traini
which will enable him to get the most out of his environ
ment. The t hue will conic, and may it he soon, when prac
t ii'al common school edm at ion will inc lude a knowledge o
the higher practicalities of agriculture in all of its alliei
interests.
