RURAL PROGRESS.
The Necessity of Improving General
Farm Conditions.
A most timely and suggestive ad
dress was given by Dean Bailey at tin
New York state grange meeting 011 the
topic above indicated. Dr. Bailey had
recently completed his work on the
country life commission, and many of
the suggestions in his admirable ad
dress were the outgrowth of the tils
cußSlons had before the commission at
its numerous meetings, lie empha
sized the need of a national campaign
for rural progress, and in order to
make it successful there should be a
clean cut state campaign, he said
Aud this must come as the result of
federation or working together of all
country life agencies within the state
Among these are the Patrons of Hits
bandry. State Agricultural society,
state department of agriculture, ex
periment stations. State College of
Agriculture and other state and dis
trict organizations expressive of agri
cultural Industries and interests. Con
tinuing, Dr. Bailey said:
The spec.al schools of agriculture can
not meet all the needs of country people
for education In terms of their dally
lives. If there were one school In each
of the agricultural counties of the stale
graduating fifty pupils a year. It would
require nearly a hundred years to read,
all the farm people of the state. A farm
er has a right to ask that his son and
daughter bo given facilities for countn
life education lu his home school. The
stato should not make It necessary 1 ■
him to send them away from home fo
the elements of such education. It fc
lows that oil public schools should be
open to education by means of agri
turo on the same terms that they aro
open to education by other means. We
have the basis for such a development ic
the act ofISOS for the encouraging of In
dustrlal and trade schools. I am con
vinced that this act marks a clear ad
vance In Industrial education in this coun
try. This law recognizes industrial edu
cation as a part of the proper education
ul work of the state and the prlnclpl.
that the Initiative should be with the peo
pie aud the maintenance be co-operatiVi
between the locality and the state. It
provides that any public school which es
tablishes such work and maintains It for
a year shall receive |it)o from the state
for one teacher so employed and 1-00 for
additional teachers. It limits such In
struction to those who have taken the
elementary school course. It provid--s for
an advisory local board to advise with
the school officers In respect to the work.
This means that the state ediioatlon de
partment must develop a broad policy of
Industrial education, with a well equipped
department or dtvlslon to administer it.
This division should also have relation to
the work In special schools of agriculture.
Personally 1 doubt the wisdom of St p
aruting the administration of agricultural
education from that of other industrial
education. The two lines should develop 1
co-ordinately, and aitrieultural training !
should be in good part manual or Indus
trial.
