It believes in the I rljtiit of every American citizen to la j lior with diligence and receive a just i reward for the energy bestowed. The ; Order does not conflict with any other ; legitimate interest, but is firm in the | l»eiief that the farmer is entitled to a full share of what the harvest yields. —Hon. J. Dei I.

If co-operative laundries and bakeries were established also, our j overburdened housewives would rise up and bless the grange for relief from these exacting duties that come to ! every home, especially in this day when domestic help Is so hard to get. in matters of legislation the grange lias standing to its credit the eleva- i tion of the department of agriculture ' at Washington to a position equal to j other departments of tlie government.

It was the grange that raised the question that congress had power over Interstate transportation companies and had the right to lix freight rates. ; This question was carried by the • grange to the supreme court of the I'nited States, and the decision secured I that all corporations were subject to I legislative control.

I*nm CnrrupomUnt Xew York Stale ' 1 GrutHQe AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS. The C. riinifo Interested In tlie Edu cation of HO>'N Fruui the Kiirin. A very important question is this: "How can we best inoculate the whole K-hool system with the spirit and the knowledge essential to land culture';" One answer to this question many be lieve to be in the establishment of ag ricultural high schools, and, if we mis take not, Minnesota is setting tlie ex ample in this line of work. According to the New York Tribune, what is wanted is such a modification of our common school system that it shall point toward the farm rather than from it. There really is no innate dif ficulty in making botany and ento mology, agricultural chemistry and ele mentary geology parts of the school course. Nor is there any reason what ever why a common school education shall not take in the study of birds anil their value to the fruit grower. Geography and mathematics do not seem to us any more important studies than those we have named; nor are they any more adapted to the class of pupils found in our common schools. We believe it is true that every child is a born naturalist, lie studies nature by instinct. The chief problem is how to provide a class of teachers better equipped to instruct in nature study. In Alabama it has b<*en determined to have an agricultural school for each congressional district. Several coun ties lints come together to sustain spe cial solioois for teaching the science and art of agriculture. The Tribune is of the opinion that this comes pretty near the solution of the problem, and it seems far wiser to create congres sional high schools for the distinct pur pose of agriculture than to add an nexes to a number of small colleges that are struggling for an existence. The course was to cover three winters of six months each, leaving the stu dent on the farm during the six crop months. It is said that S2 per cent of the pupils remain in agricultural pur suits. while not less than 70 per cent go directly back to the borne fariu - go back qualified to be interested in farm work and to engage in it with success. One-third of the course of study pertains to those sciences that are closely related to agriculture, one third to the art and science of agricul ture itself, and the remaining one-third covers ihe usual higli school course.
