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.

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 culture.

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. The girl is given almost as large a place in the secondary school as the boy.

She has a greater sense of its respon sibilities and a fuller appreciation of its pleasures. 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.
