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« ! cultural scii nee. pnrticuln !y ! when handled by a man or a worn* jan who understands the subject I thotmighty. The next objection comes r- a i •’ j sort of rider to the objection jml stated. M iu\' may say that ngri- I culture is very interesting alter General - La Senorita. Merchandise. DRY GOODS on am.

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. We have our agricultural col leges for the training of a u,uuu, . just rue- ! specialty often has a broader edu cation than one who specializes in Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics or the languages.
