This Is a radically new movement in education, but one which In the near future will bo most Iniportaut one. Agriculture is not only the occupa tlnn of farmlnir. but also the life and genlous of country affairs. AgrlcW ture is not only a profession but mode of life; It is therefore necessary to teach the fundamental principles and practices of sucessrul agrleultturO, and every farmer must have know ledge sufficient to make him Intelli gent concerning methods essential IP permanent agricultural success. Now. there are two radically dif ferent methods proposed for mooting this new educational demand. The one method proposed is for a separ ate system of schools for country peo ple, to be known as agriculaural high schools, farmers schools, etc.. In which agriculture for boys and domes tic science for girls being one of the loading subjects. The oihor method proposed Is not one system of secondary schools for the country anl another for the city, but a single system for both, it pro- GEORGE LAZELLE. Re-elected Over seer of Warr:er Grange. poses that the present system of high school should not be denominat ed city high school with a narrow range of interest, but that they should be so expanded in personal and equip ment and so enriched in courses as to minister to the natural Interest of their environment, whatever that might be. Agricultural, commercial, literary and what not; and that the present ungraded school in the thinly populated country district should be condensed into larger and stronger units, meeting as they able the edu cational needs of their community and evolving naturally ultimately into true secondary ' schools. The demand for education In agri culture has not only come to stay, but has the sympathy and earnest support of the mass of the people and the very large majority of our best educators. This issue is upon philosophies of education so widely different that once chosen will be final. The American high school is a new institution: it has arisen from a de termination to make education truly universal. And universal education means that all people shall have an education. Now only a small percent of the people will ever go to college, and the experiment of universal education will be tried out in the fields of the sec ondary school. These more than the colleges will prove the agencies by which the masses of the people will get their education and training. For this reason the welfare of these high schools should be guarded. The damand for agricultural edu cation in our public schools is a part of the great modern movement for in dustrial education and the American people should therefore stand firm for the consolidation of rural schools and the development oj agricultural high scnooi. American Farmer Feeding the World It is a well known fact that Ameri ca has the greatest export of any one civilied country. We should be proud to think that our farms supply such a large part of the food and clothing to tde rest of the world To the world's trade the American farmer contributes one third of the corn, one-fifth of the wheat, and two- hirds of the cotton. There is "not a better farming region in the world than that in the central and western states, since irrigation has been in roduced many of the barren tracts of land have been built up into fine farms which furnish fine homes for American farmers. Our live stock exports are very widely distributed, some going across the Pacific Ocean to Asiatic countries, while Cuba takes about eight and a nan minion aonars wonn or animal products. In all America supplies about two-fifths of the meat supply. The many rivers and lakes form a splendid situation for mills and fac tories. The Great Lakes and the Nia gara river has about the best power, but even with so many mlll3 and fac tories, there Is more than enough cot ton and farm products raised tosup ply these mills so a great part la sent across the ocean to other countries The great bulk of our farm produce goes to West European countries which compete with us in manufac ture. The cotton goes principally to (ermany and France while lesser quantities to Spain and Italy but even while we send the material, we also sen 1 the food to feed the people while '"' ore at work.

The National Granga Take a Position on College Sporta. The coinrnlttoo on agriculture of the last national grunge meeting lncon- rated In Its report tho following minute on certain sports at agricultural col leges, nnd It. together with the report, was ndopted. The committee snld: We regret to note the tendency lu our agricultural colleges to Increase the amount of time spent In Intercollegiate football and baseball and the apparent Increased Importance given to those sports. Wc believe thnt at no distant day nil of our educatlonnl Institutions will take a different stand ou this sub ject from what they now do. We wish to go on record as being opposed to lntercolleglnte football lu our agricul tural colleges, especlnlly when It Inter feres with the work In tho agricultural and mechanical departments of these Institutions. And we also oppose the using of money either directly or In directly for athletic scholarships thnt : has been appropriated by state or na tion to these Institutions. History teaches us that where agriculture Is nourished that nation has prospered. It also tenches that where sports and tmusementa have flourished and crowd ed out honest labor that nation bus de cayed. Can "the colleges hope to escape the doom of tbewe nations?" Coming Field Meetings. The Benson lor field meetings Is ap proaching, ond much efficient work can be done for the building up of granges throughout the state at these public gathering. Wo believe that the ad dresses on these occasions should not be of too general a nature. They are for the benefit of the grange, and speakers should talk grunge. They tuny recite what the grange has accomplish ed and make a strong appeal nt every such meeting for the furniers to be come members of the only furmers' or ganization thnt Is worth while. Let there be plenty of music and imiko much of the social footures after the speaking Is over and before. Do not xpect audiences to stand for hours nil listen to addresses, but rather see that seats and benches are provided. Convenience has much to do with the size of the audience sometimes.
