The time is last nppi'miching
when agrieuhure will he limghl in
all of out public schools. All who
have given thought to this sub
jeet admit that there is a pressing
ueed of agricultural inslruclmn mi
the public schools. The majority
of the population in the southern
states is engaged in agricultural
pur nits, and comparatively few
students from the rural districts
lind their way to college. The
census of 1900 show the total popm-
lation of the southern stater to ho
about 28,000,000—the rural popu
lation being 17,000,000 or about
75 per cent of the population of
the south. The number of agri
cultural students enrolled in the
land-grant colleges of 'ho south
during the session of 1898 and 99
was 1,777 or about .0001 per cent
of the agricultural population.
The number of persons outside of
these colleges receiving ngricnl
[.oral instruction is so small as not
to a licet the result, so it is safe to
say that not more than one person
OT.e MSCVAWTv
will arise. Some will sav that
practical agriculture can not he
taught in the schools, that we ean
not leach the hoy how to plow the
land, raise crops, how to care for
stock, .See. To this objection we
might explain that onr agricultur
al colleges were designed to tench
scienlitic agriculture aud that the
only place where the practice of
agriculture can he safely taught is
on the farm.
If the science of ngricnlti.ro is |
taught in our colleg'S, surely a |
certain amount can he taught in I
our rural schools also.
Another objection is, that agri
culture is a dull and uninteresting
study. Taking the whole field of ed ;
unit ion al subjects: fia ni eno i nd of j
the curiiculum to the otlu r, theie f
is no subject so full ol liie, so full
of interest or so attractive ns agri« !

The next objection comes r- a

j sort of rider to the objection jml
stated. M iu\' may say that ngri-

There has been many difficulties
in the way of the wotk of agricuK
tnra! education. Want of appro- |
ciation on the part of the general j
public, and proper respect for this :
profession has caused many young j
men on entering college to avoid
an agricultural course, hence the
scarcity of thoroughly trained
teachers.
