To the careful observer and earn? est enthusiast for a h'gher and bet? ter life on the farm, there comes a thought true and forcible,?are we educating toward the farm or away from it? We look at our primary schools, our high schools, and do we not see the tendency almost wholly against the farm? There is a remarkable development and interest in agricultural education in Europe, where it is common for agriculture to be taught in every ijrude, from the primary school through the college. What is the tendency in this agricultural m tion of ours? Too often, we f ar. away from the farm. The com? mon school recruits the academy, the college, the university; Uut does it recruit the agricultural and mechanical college, or do what it ought to recruit the ranks of good farmers? May we not hope the time is near at hand when agricul? ture will be taught not only in the common schools, but the high schools as well? Governor Hoard says: 'is there any good reason why this farmer's school, the country school, should not teach the farm hov the 'lenients of agriculture; give him some knowledge of the technical terms he must meet in farm journals iud farm books, and start him on the road to larger study and strong? er love for farm life, and thus save liim from deserting the farm? AU iver Europe there is a great revival if agricultural education in the primary schools; when that is done Here, you will have larger use and iestiny for the experiment station ind the agricultural college."?Dr. 'J VV Burkett, in Agricultural Ed? ucation.
