H. Dennis. State agricultural exper.. In an address before the teachers of the Dauphin county institute, in ses sion in the House of Representatives, drove home with a mass of facts and figures the importance of "Agriculture in the Rural School" this morning. County Superintendent F. E. Sham baugh, in a short talk preceding Pro fessor Dennis' address, said that he was slightly disappointed with the re sults of the corn growing contest held in this state and claimed that a num ber of teachers having courses in agri culture were not qualified to teach the subject. Professor Dennis in his talk divided the present-day farmer into three < lasses, the tired, retired and rubber tired. He said that last year about 50 per cent, of the automobiles sold in this country were purchased by farmers and that figures for the pres ent year indicate that more than 70 per cent, of the sales in 1915 were made to farmers. Becoming More Important "This country will never become entirely Industrial, however," he de clared, "for agriculture is becoming more important each year." He went on to explain that the rural school was the only logical place to impress the boys and girls and teach them modern agricultural methods. Deploring the fact that present-day children occupy too important a place in the home because they are con stantly being "shown off," Professor Dennis claimed that in many homes "the hand inside the cradle rules the world." He went on to say that the children of the present day in rural districts should be retained there by offering them to advantages of cityi schools and that they should be kept Bringing Up Father# # # # # # IF DON'T 1 L " 7 1 T 7 * 1 ®WCW«U ■miw L S (W »*" < « valet OF HIM IN!

Wickey presided. Dr. O. L. Warren, of Elmira, New- York, spoke on "Poetry in English Work."
