"What Js true of them Is not true of the
agricultural population, and yet that pop
ulation la 10-23ths of the entire number
engaged In the Industrial pursuits of this
country. The scope of our education's
work should now bo such that It will ex
tend to thlEKclass of our population. The
theories and fundamental principles of
constitutional law should be taught along
side the fundamental principles underly
ing the production of agricultural prod
ucts. Those principles are stable, under
going few changes. Every agricultural
citizen should understand that the Gov
ernment, of the United States under which
ho Uvea 13 a government of derived pow
ers, that It ha3 no powers except those
that have been conferred upon It. and that
the conferring was done by the sovereign
3tates of the Union and that the matter
conferred Is enumerated In that document
known as the Constitution of the United
States, and that when he desires the Na
tional Government to do anything In his
Interest, he must first know whether the
power to do that thing has been given
that Government In that Instrument. If
the power has been conferred, then It Is
plausible and feasible to petition the Con
gress of the United States to do tho thing
desired.
"I believe that no better work can now
be taken up along educational lines in ad
dition to the work already being done
than to put the agricultural population of
this country in possession of such knowl
edge relative to the Government and Its
workings as will qualify or equip each and
everyone to at any time step Into the leg
islative halls of any state In the Union
or the Congress of the United States and
speak with intelligence ,upoa the ques
tions that will be placed before them.."
