Resolution by the City Coun

(continued.)
Another objection made by some
people to the introduction of agn
culture in the public schools, is
that so few pupils of rural schools
become farmers or agriculturists,
that the time devoted to agricuL
tore is time wasted. Under our
present system very few do he*
eomo successful farmers and ngti*
euItulists; but in any easo is it a
waste of time? Are there not
times when people of all profes
sion may he henctited by a fair
knowledge of the science of agri- (
culture? Would it not he an ad i he resignation ol .!. V. Ilurbi-

J do believe it would he a blessing
to our country to have it substis
tuted for some things which arc
there.
Let us contrast the conditions
in the south with those of the state
of Iowa. Both their farm pro
ducts and farm property arc
worth four times as much as ours.
Within twenty years their farm
property has increased 150 per
cent while ours has only increased
50 per cent. We have rich land
and many of our southern states
have a greater diversity of soils
than Iowa. We are as near mar
kets and grow some crops they
cannot grow—such as cotton, t<>-
| bacco and rice. The average in
j come of their farm workers is
$011.00 per year, in the south it is
i possibly ooly $200. What is the
j cause of all of this? They have
, had agricultural schools and have
| trained their farmers. They till
| (heir soil better, they know it bet
ter and they use more machinery
| and more intelligence. They have
! agriculture taught in the public
1 school*.
We have Iteen commencing ai
tlic top and working down, now
we should commence at lho bottom
and work up. This can properly
1 be done bv introducing agriculture
in tho public schools. V ho cun
tell the advantages and benefits
likely to result from such a course?
More knowledge would create a
gentleman,
every good
cause that looks to the betterment
of society.

Why He Died Rich,
“Anybody can make money,
but it takes a philosopher to save
it,” observes Bent Murdock.
“Not long ago an old friend of
mine died, leaving a barrel of
money, according to an exchange.
He lay awake nights thinking up
schemes to save money. I re
member one of his habits of
economy. He had a house full of
children — ten or a dozen. It cost
considerable to feed them. Tho
old man evolved a scheme to cut
and beyond that the sea reach
ing to the horizon. Wo sat down
in the shade to rest, and a naive
came out to interview us. lie was
a perfect specimen of uncivilized
man. In tho prime of life, six feet
tall, straight as an arrow, with a
frank open countenance and inch
wide lace pattern stripe tattooed
in blue the whole length of each
log.
Said my guide: “Do you livo
here?”
“Yes.”
“Always lived here?”
“Yes.”
“Why don't you go to one of
the plantations to live?”
“What for?”
“To work.”
“For what?”
“To earn money.”
“What do 1 want of money? I
own my grass house, I own my
vegetable patch, f own my canoe,
I make my own nets and I don’t

‘Now, how many of you will take
i a nickel and go to bed without
supper?! They all took nickels
I and went to .bed hungry. The
! next morning the old man would
\ say, ‘Now, children, you all look
1 hungry. How many of you will
| give me a nickel for a nice, hot
j hr-akfast?’ and, of course, they
would all cough up their nickels.
The old man simply saved the cost
j of the children’s supper. This is
j just one of the little schemes he
