Jndge Watts, from the Committee, read
a Report, in which the advantages of tbe
proposed Model School and Farm were ad- j
verted to at some length. It contemplates :
a small school for some 100 pupils at first, ,
to be iucrcased as success may attend it,
to be located not near a large town, and ou
land of various soils, giving employ meat
for every variety of labor grain, dairy,
fruit, g irden sauce, poultry, cattle, horses,
&c. together with some knowledge of j L.AKJIASTER, March 4.

also of farriery, &e. The School to have i ton Hall" an elegknt and commodious
two sessions yearly, cue at the beginning
and the other at the close of tbe workinc
w e o
season, and all pupils to work three or
more hours per day. Their studies to be
of such practical nature as may be actually
required in their prog ess through Lfo.
The Report proposes that for such a School
and Farm, S 10.000 be raised by subscrip.
tions. 85.000 from the State Societv. aud
$10,000 by the State Legislature.
Upon this report, J u Jge Watts, of Cum
berland, remarked that one great reason
why farming was not held to be generally
as it is truly the most honorable pur
suit in life, was because our system of ed'
tation generally led students into the
over-crowded professions; and that the
same system, from its want of adaptedness
to every day life, too much prejudiced far
mers against the benefits of education in
general. As a general thing, they trod in
the footsteps of their fathers, without think
ing tbat the soil from which they demand
ed bread was an organised matter, having
a mouth and lungs, and requiring food "and
air as much as animated beings themselves.
Benjamin II err (a Lancaster farmer)
joined in the opinion that meny farmers
wore hardly rational beings they did not
exercise the noble faculty of reason by in-
'. vestieatine the science of agriculture, and
were opposed to" the acquisition of any
I " . 7:.: e'
more knowledge than tradition gave them,
lie objected to the Report as not being
sufficiently definite be thought this Con-
vennon snouli diirest. and nrcsent in de-
tail, tlic governing power, the officers, and
. r i
the daily operations of the Farm and School.
j lie had littk; advantages for schooling him
i t
i self, but wa anxious the rising generation
: should exercise their codlike Dowers of
mind, constantly acquire knowledge, and
obtain the position in the world to which
they are entitled.
David Mumma (a Dauphin farmer) tho't
injustice had been done to tho farming
community that they had no hostility to
real, practical education, but to the waste
of time in many of our institutions of learn
ing, which wag in itself useless in after
life, and tended to unfit pupils for labor.
He believed that in every day knowledge
in iutiniate acquaintance with their own
business in making a bargain,, and gen
erally io taking cure of No. 1 the farm
ers were beiiiud uo class in our commun ity.
He thought thc proposed School aud Farm
would be just itn thing to raise the stan
dard of education in general, and to enlist
the hearts as well .tax the broad and visi
ble acres of those who bear the great bur
den of government, and who should be the
governors.- t .
James Cameron (of Northumberland)
defended the intelligence and the progres
sive character of bis brother-farmers from
that county, and presented in proof a let
ter from SamueJ John, who was appoiutcd
as a Delegate, and failed to attend.
Hon. Win. M. Meredith, of Philada.,

or and encouragement. He was once a
Lancaster farmer himself, and claimed to
be the poorest among them.
