DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. 209 



by side, one catering to one side of man and the other to the 

 other side. I cannot beheve that that will be the final solution. 

 I rather like to think that there are going to be men and women 

 enough in this country who will throw aside their conservatism 

 and see the value of educating the whole man, to make it pos- 

 sible to have under one control the school of the future that 

 shall prepare our boys and girls, for life, for wage earning, for 

 vocation, as well as for intellectual and spiritual enjoyment. 

 We need to unite the theoretical and the practical. The two 

 must come together. One is dependent on the other. You 

 never can have the practical without the theoretical, and the 

 theoretical is not worth much unless you apply it somewhere. 

 We are going to unite thisi development of mind and muscle, 

 this training of mind and body so that the individual will go 

 out able to fit himself to his environment and be an efficient 

 worker for the lifting of civilization to a little higher level. 

 And that, it seems to me, is a consummation worth praying for.
