EDUCATE THE FARMER
A LOGICAL. ADDBESB BY STATE
SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
GLENN.
AGRICULTURE IS DIGNIFIED.
Country Boy* Must Be Taught «t
Home the Beauty end Power
of the Elelde.
Id Its lest report to the governor the
Agricultural Department invited the
attentioo of his excellency to the im
portance of introducing in our school*
aature studies, agricultural industrial
education, to the end that young men
who intend to become farmer* might
enjoy to tome extent the practical,
■peoial training for their work which
is afforded those seeking the profession*.
A short time after thie School Com
missioner G. R. Glenn delivered an
address before the Cotton State* Asso
ciation of the Oommiteioners of Agri
culture in Atlanta. Believing this ad
dress should have the widest possible
drcnlation, it ie fnrniehed to the press
of the State for publication
COMMISSIONER GLENN’S ADDRESS.
The country boy leavee the farm
becauee he hat learned at school that
other fields of human aotivity offer
higher rewards. The oonntry boy Is
abitions to rise and to move up and on
in the world. His teacher has fired his
heart with stories of what men in the
learned professions have accomplished.
He is attracted by the laurels that men
have won In the pnlpit, at the bar, on
the hnstings, on the battlefield, and on
the deck of a fighting ship. The course
of study that the schools have prescribed
for the boy tell him that to be great in
the eyes of the world he must preach a
great sermon, or write a great poem, or
make a great oration, or lead a grand
charge, or command a fleet of warships
from a bridge of a flagship in a naval
battle. How to win con ests from the
. soil of mother earth, how to make the
fields blossom and ripen into a fruitage
[ of golden harvests, has been np to this
time, no part of of the training of the
boys in our schools. The book learning
of the aoademtos has led away from the
- hard and exacting manual toll on the
r farm. In case where the boy has had
, no learning at all, we have had the
stolid picture of the man with the hoe,
"the emptiness of ages in bis face,”
"A thing that grieves not and that
■ never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the
1 ox.”
Millet'* picture and Markham’s poem
arraign with terrific emphasis the
wrong education, or the lack of all edn
cation, that for ages past have been the
lot of the ohildren on the farm. Not
nntll recent years has the world come
to recognize that agricultural pursuits
require as high form of development,
and as large a degree of intelleotnal
power, as may be required in any other
department of human endeavor.
The country boy will never •(»j on
the farm nntll he has been tanght at
home and at echool how to find the
beauty and the profit and the power
that reside in the fields as they are to
be found nowhere else. We are late in
learning, but are nevertheieee learning
at laet, that it ie the bnsinese of the
■ohool to train the children for the life
they are to lead after they have left the
eohool.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ARC NUMEROUS.
In recent years every State in the
Union has established, somewhere with
in the confines of the commonwealth, a
technical echool of agrionltnre and
mechanic arte. Thie ie well; bnt it
does not go far enough. We mnst pnt
into the pnblio schools, ths primary
achools for the masees, such elementary
branches of stndy as will be immedi
ately and diractly helpfnl in the train
ing of onr ohildren for agricultural
pursuits. At least two-thirds of onr
school population in the Sonth mnet of
necessity spend their lives on the farm.
Nature studies, thfe elements of biology,
the elements of chemistry, how plants
grow, how soils are enriched and im
poverished. how lands may be terraced,
and a thousand forms of elemental
instruction oan be tanght in the sohools
with infinitely greater resnlts so far as
intelleotnal development goes, than by
ihe continued use of many branohet of
stndy that have oome down to ns by
tradition from the monks and the mo
nasteries of ages past
The dead languages are good in their
way and no intelligent man will speak
lightly of their educational value, bnt
there are living languages in plants and
blades of grass, and soils and stones,
and streams, and birds, and flowers,
that appeal with infinite delight and
foster unmeasured growth in the heart
of a child. The great minds who have
done the moat and the best for this
world, even in literature, in art and in
science have come from the very heart
of natnrs, and “nature never yet be
trayed the heart that loved her.” The
Bard of Avon even, who toned our
English tongue to higher and sweeter
notes than e’er before were heard, pnt
his ear close to the meadow land and
his heart to the hills of life, and hit eye
npon the silent stars, while birds and
fllowers and blades of grass spoka to
him as he toiled and tilled the land of
bis native shire.
PRACTICAL MEN NEEDED.
The world will perhaps never tee
another Shakespeare, nor another MU-
ten. nor another Burns: it may be that
the world does not need another Ham*
let, or another Paradise Lost, or another
Cotter’s Saturday Night, bnt it does
need men and it will always need men,
who can make two b.ades of grass grow
this year where only one grew last year.
In agriculture as in every other
science we are coining to the reign of
law. Uw ie derived from intelligently
conducted experiments, and experi
ments are questions pnt to nature that
she will answer, ten thonsand times
over, with unerring precision and reg
ularity. Traditional farm lore and
primitive methods in vogue, when men
had virgin soil, will not do for today.
Whon a seed is put Into the ground
now, we must know the food supplies
for the soil about the seed. The bull
tongue plow has become obsolete, and
the cultivator has taken its place. The
simple scythe is long since forgotton,
and the MoCormick reaper is garnering
onr grain. The man going to mill with
a bushel of corn in one end of a bag and
stones to balance it in tho other end, if
he is not altogether apocryphal, has
gone nevor to return. Intelligence is
establishing her right to reign every
where. Men plant no morv the
moon bnt by the snn.
The question is then, what oan oar
schools do for agriculture? How can
the pnblio schools he eo related to tbi*
great indnstry of the Sooth, that the
children who leave onr schools may
desire to enter this noble and onterprli
ing field. In the first place the children
must be taught at school that agricul
ture Is not only the earliest pnrsnlt of
mankind bnt it is today one of tb*
noblest professions that men oan fol
low. They ninet be taught that an in
telligent farmer, equipped with all that
soience and art may today bring to hie
aid, can win a* high honor and occupy
as high place in public estimation as
can be won in the pursuit of any oalliag
in human life.
AGRICULTURE IS DIGNIFIED.
W* most teach the ohildren, indeed,
that the man of braine on the farm is
ons of the most potential forceafor good
that can be found anywhere In the
world. W* mast show them that work
in the field 1* no longer a drudgery bnt
that it ie as noble and intelligent form
of labor as man oan pnrsn*. The
machine has com* to the farm and it
has come to etay. A man with a
machine on the farm can do ae much
work as ten men could do twenty years
ago. As teachers we must show the
chlldron the peace and plenty, the quiet
joy. the purity of life, the contentment
of independence, the nobility of sonl,
all of whloh may come in unhindered
fullness from the noble pursuit of scien
tific agriculture.
In the second plaoe to accomplish
this onr course of study in the public
schools must be radioally changed. The
Ideal of the school mast be changed.
The subject matter in the text books
must be revised. While the ohild Is
learning to read, to write and to cipher,
it could jnst as well learn these elemen
tary branches in the terms of nature
studies, elements of biology, elements
of ohemistry, elements of free hand
drawing and modeling of all kinds.
Intelligent testimony from the entire
edncatlonal world is to the effeot that
children will not only lose nothing, bnt
they will gain tremendously in their
natural and normal development, by
making these changes.
If a boy in Holland has learned at
school to support a family of ten by
intelligent cnltivation of an acre of
ground, a boy in Georgia shonld learn
at sohool how to support a family of ten
npon ten acres of ground. This Is the
problem that we must solve, not only
In Georgia bnt in every other Southern

The time has come to wed the Depart

The Department of Agrionltnre In the
Btate of New York through Prof. L. H.
Bailey of Cornell University is doing a
magnificent work. Not only is he im
proving the systems of farming bnt he
is magnifying and itensifying the sys

Bailey’s leaflets are now need as text
books in all the sohools of ths greet
State of New York. We have agricul

resources in every Southern State that
are not to be fonnd even in the great

From Virginia to Texas we have un

We need capital and we Invite all deeir

But mors than we need capital and
more than we need immigration, we
need a high and practical intelligence

of munificent presents through
the kindness and thoughtfulness

he was desirous that the matter
remain unknown except to himself
and those who were fortunate
enough to receive the presents.
About ten checks of S3OO each

The excursions to Arkansas have
furnished a means of exit to quite
a number of darkies who were anx
ious to leave this vicinity, accord
ing to the Athens Banner. Just
before the train was preparing to
pull out Saturday night several
darkies were caught by the officers
and detained from their trip to the
“Premised Land.” Among this
number John Flint, from Madison
county, was a star member. John
had given a mortgage on a double
team to a farmer named Hoard.
Not being able to meet this when
duo, he quietly packed his house
hold goods iuto the wagon, drove
up to Athens and was soon ready
for a trip to far-away Arkansas.
Unfortunately for him, the holder
of the mortgage came to town at
about the same time, and Officers
Bradberryand Saye soon had Flint
in their clutches. When searched,
a pistol was found on the negro’s
pertan, and he was jailed charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
Hoard returned with the team to
Madison county. A man by the
name of Yarbrough came up to
the city Saturday in quest of two
negroes who had broken their con
tract with him and were headed
for Arkansas. One of the darkies
was caught at the train, but the
other made his escape, There

MERITORIUS PREPARATION.
BY AMOS GRAY, M. D.
After exposing ami condemning
many of thedoubtrul and even injuri
ous preparations for the hair and scalp
which are produced and put on the
market by different manufacturers, it
is indeed a great relief to be able to
make a special report upon so worthy
a preparation as “Anti-kink.” It is a
preparation that will straighten and
take the kink out of curly hair, and is
manufactured and sold to the trade by
Darragh & Rich, of New York City. In
common justice to these gentlemen, we
as heartily commend it as we have in
the past condemned many so-called
hair growers and restorers, and other
preparations for the treatment of the
hair and scalp.
For somejdays “Anti-kink” has been
the subject of a painstaking investiga
tion on the part of the compilers of
these Reports, and a spirit of fairness
impels the statement that the most
searching examination brought to
light much in connection with “Anti
kink” that is worthy of the highest
consideration, in fact, it in every re
spect merits our highest praise, and
affords the most gratifying resnlts and
absolute safety in its use.
There is no head of hair that is so
kinky or curly, no matter what the
nationality or color may be, that a
thirty (30) day treatment of “Anti
kink” will not straigeten out in a most
gratifying manner.
and vigorously applied
as directed, it will impart such alustre
and brilliancy to the hair as will make
tiie use of ali other preparations as
Brilllantine entirely unnecessary.
We have devoted niuoh time and la
bor to a thorough investigation of this
truly wonderful hair preparation, in
order that we might intelligently ad
vise our readers all over this broad
•land, whose inquiries reach us by
every mail as to its virtues and worth,
and it is with a high degree of satis
faction that we find the results of our
investigation warrant us in giving
“Anti-kink” the strongest editorial
and official endorsement of the United
States Health Reports: Those who
follow the suggestions herein contain
ed may rest assured that in every es
sentia! feature MAnti-kink” will be
found to be a most excellent article,
and sure to achieve success where di
rections are faithfully followed. Sales
