FEATURING OUR SECURITY FREE STALL
We make a high Security Free Stall from high grade
boiler type steel that will last and last. A bedding board
is installed and the stall is elevated above the scrape
area. Extra floor space is given to each animal and a
maximum drinking area is provided. A step along the
feed I lows easy access to the feed but prevents
manure from falling into the trough.

It Hardly Matters
Some segments of American
Society are becoming less and
less concerned about money,
fame and position, but rather are
concerned about living life and
enjoying it. A folk song puts it this
way:
It hardly matters what I know,
from where I come or where I
go
or whom I must forgive,
It hardly matters how I die,
or who I am remembered by
if I have learned to live.
It is said that a mans success is
measured by his ability to suc
cessfully live rather than by
being successful. Recently there
was an article in the Wall Street

Thoughts
in Passing
Journal about Americans who
were considered to be quite
successful, but were not happy
with their work (rat race) and the
style of life that they were
living—so many are dropping out
to live a more simple life that
they can enjoy, even if they are
not as respected by society in
general as they were in their for
mer positions.
Someone recently accused the
educational system of failure to
educate his son because the boy
has no idea of what occupation to
enter, has no established goals,
nor any idea of what he wants to
accomplish with his life.
Examples such as this show that
education must be more than just
the transfer of technical
knowledge.
Agricultural education strives
to educate students so they have
a salable skill or are able to

continue their education after
graduation from high school.
Students are prepared to enter
the agricultural society by:
1) Learning aspects of tech
nical agriculture needed in the
agricultural world of work.
2) Development of leadership
and self-confidence by par
ticipation in FFA activities.
3) Learning about job op
portunities, requirements for
particular jobs, and the future of
jobs in the various areas of
agriculture. Vocational guidance
that helps the student to un
derstand himself together with
the learamng of job opportunities
allows the student to work toward
a job which will fit with his lifes
goals and aspirations.
Since this is the end of another
school year, it is a good time for
each of us to consider our role in
the educational process.
Parents, students, othei
community persons, as well as
teachers, have an important part
m the education of community
youth. The extent to which we all
work together is the degree to
which education will be suc
cessful When we all work
together the result will be suc
cessful persons who know how to
live successfully—lf this is the -
result, then we, working
together, have been successful.
Does it hardly matter?
