“BAC& TO
THE FARM”
XII. —Rural Education —Sec-
ondary Schools.
By C. V. QWCOHLY.
fCopyrtght, 1910, by American Press Asso
elation.)
IN the past the 97 per cent of the
rural boys tnd girls who never
attended college have scarcely
received their share of attention
The college has been developing lead
ers. but the rank und hie have been
neglected Only recently has the need
of industrial education for the great
mass of the people been recognized.
Now that the necessity is seen steps
are being taken to meet it It was
thought at first that the country boy
could obtain all the education ne need
ed in a city high school. That idea is
fast being outgrown. The city high
school xx us not created to meet tin
needs of the country boy, and it con
tains little that appeals to him. Ills l '

school principals have too long ar
ranged their courses of study for tin
3 per cent of their pupils who will g(
to college. Ignoring the needs of tin
other 97 per cent.
Hard as this system was on the box
in town, it was harder still on tb»
country boy. There was nothing in
the high school course that was con
nected even remotely with his life on
the farm. Most of his time was given
to mathematics. Latin. German, etc.,
with perhaps a little music and art
thrown in The mathematics were a
help In developing his mind and teach
ing him to think The Latin and Get
man were of little value except to tin
3 per ceut who expected to enter col
lege. The music probably xvas given
by a teacher who couldn't sing hal!
so well as the meadow larks at horns
and the art by one who couldn't draw
a cow or a pig to save his life.
The worst part of the high school
from the farm boy's standpoint \\■
the attitude toward work in genet::
and farm work in particular. Tin
hoys and girls were encouraged to pre
pare for college In order that tbej
might get through life more easily,
though perhaps they were not told so
In so many words. The teachers talk
ed of the farm as a good place b
come from perhaps, but carried tin
idea that farming was not a worthy
calling for a boy with ambition. Every
thing he heard or learned pointed
away from the farm and toward the
city. Not only was the farm boy de
nied any knowledge of the farm, but
he was taught to see the bright side
of every ether calling and the dark
side of his own. It was little wonder
that he left the farm at the end of his
high school course.
The high schools nre coming to pay
vastly more respect to the 97 per cent
of their pupils. They are realizing the
truth of the statement that the educa
tion which increased a boy’s wants
without increasing his earning capaci
ty is a failure. Courses in carpentry,
shop work and mechanics have been
put in. The whole attitude of the
high school is changing, and more at
tention is being paid to preparing stu
dents for life than to preparing them
for college The students are being
taught that It is an honor to work
with their Lauds. The girls are being
taught domestic science and home eco
nomies. In sheet, the high school has
seen its opportunity and is grasping It
In all this development the country
boy has been left out The atmos
phere of the high school Is still that
of the city. A few have attempted to
teach agriculture, and some have suc
ceeded. It has become plain, however,
that a school located on a block of
land in the heart of a city cannot hope
to tench agriculture with the greatest
degree of success. With that reallza
tlon has come the secondary agricul
tural school. Such schools are all too
few as yet. but their numbers are In
creasing rapidly as the demand for
them grows Some nre supported by
the counties, some by the ntutea and
some privately Some of the denoml
national and preparatory schools have
been very successful In teschlng ngrl

State. Minnesota auu -xcoiusna nave
schools of agriculture in connection
with their agricultural colleges. These
are doing good work, but they are
reaching only a small proportion of
the farm boys and girls. One such
school to a state is not enough.
The ideal secondary school is located
away from the heart of the city.- It
has a liberal piece of land in connec
tion with it. To be successful it must
be surrounded by enough of a farm
to give it a rural flavor. As a rule
these secondary schools are doing
their work well. They have ruth
lessly cut out the classics and the dead
languages. They have substituted
studies that help .to At the boys and
girls for life on the ftirm. A large
share of the study of books Is done
away with and the study of living
thiogs substituted. The schools are
well equipped with laboratories. The
student works with corn, scoring,
placing and testing. Judging corn is
as fascinating a game as ever a boy
engaged in. Even more interesting Is
the stock judging.
Few of the schools can afford to
keep a complete line of live stock,
but neighboring farmers are always
ready to supply the deficiency. Then
there are the machinery laboratories,
where the boys learn some of the
simpler principles of mechanics as ap
plied to farm machinery. It puts a
boy on his mettle to be turned loose
on a pile of castings and told to put
them together to form a binder. The
Intricacies of a gasoline engine keep
him working after hours. The study
of the growth of plants takes the place
of the study of classified botany. The
boy learns the names of the different
weeds and how to tell their seeds
apart. He learns their habits and the
best ways of combating them. He
makes a collection of insects and
learns which ones are harmful and
which innocent \
He Is dealing-with life, the kind of i
life that he has known ever since he
was old enough to know anything.
At last he is learning the answers to
that hlg “why” that hss bothered him
ever since he could walk. He has
found the education that is suited to
his needs and his Inclinations. It is
an education in the xvays of nature
rather than In the ways of man. It is
an education that is fitting him to live
best the life that he knows most
about.
He may not care much about col
lege. His mind may falter at geo
metrical propositions and quadratic
equations. But he can understand the
proposition of soil fertility and crop
rotation. He can work out the equa
tion of profit and loss in raising calves.
The greatest mission of any form of
education Is to teach people how to
live. Not only must it teach them how
to live well, but it will be successful
directly in proportion to the number it
reaches The professional colleges have
had to encompass themselves with se
vere restrictions in order that their
professions might not become ovei*
crowded. With agricultnral education
there is no such fear.
The danger is not in getting too
much. The problem Is to get enough.
Secondary agricultural education has
been phenomenally successful because
it teaches people the things they want
to know. They do not take such edu
cation on the general theory that it
Is good for them. They can see for
themselves that it is good. They can
see It iu the increased corn yields
grown by the boys who have been
graduated from such a school to the
farm. They can see it from the im
proved stock that takes the place of
the bony specimens with which he
once would have been satisfied. They
can see it in the pride with which he
keeps up his fences and yards.

place in the secondary school as the

science of homemaking. She gets a

truer and saner view of Ilf# than
would be possible in a city school.
She has a greater sense of its respon

While the first aim of the secondary
agricultural school is to teach the boy
to wring Increased profits from the
soil and the girl to use these profits in
building up a better home. Its func
tion does not end there. The cultural
side of the student's education Is not
neglected. He is given something of
