but in both art and industry so joined as to make possible the 

 highest civilization and the greatest development of which the 

 human race is capable. To this end may agriculture, like every 

 other form of useful activity, find its place in our existing system 

 of education, and may that place be one that comports with the 

 importance of the profession, the mode of living of its followers, 

 and the philosophy of life on which our great social structure rests ; 

 for after all, the greatest thing in the world is to live a full and 

 perfect life. 



Sixty years ago Professor Turner wrote: "All civilized so- 

 ciety is, necessarily, divided into two distinct co-operative, not an- 

 tagonistic, classes — a small class, whose proper business it is to 

 teach the true principles of religion, law, medicine, science, art, 

 and literature; and a much larger class who are engaged in some 

 form of labor, in agriculture, commerce, and the arts. For the 

 sake of convenience, we will designate the former the Professional, 

 and the latter the Industrial class ; not implying that each may not 

 be equally industrious; the one in their intellectual, the other in 

 their industrial pursuits. Probably in no case would society ever 

 need more than five men out of one hundred in the professional 

 class, leaving ninety-five in every hundred in the industrial; and, 

 so long as so many of our ordinary teachers and public men are 

 taken from the industrial class, as there are at present, and probably 

 will be for generations to come, we do not really need over one 

 professional man for every hundred, leaving ninety-nine in the 

 industrial class. 



"The vast difference, in the practical means, of an appropriate 

 liberal education, suited to their wants and their destiny, which 

 theste two classes enjoy, and ever have enjoyed the world over, must 

 have arrested the attention of every thinking man. True, the same 

 general abstract science exists in the world for both classes alike, 

 but the means of bringing this abstract truth into effectual contact 

 with the daily business and pursuits of the one class does exist, 

 while in the other case it does not exist and never can till it is new 

 created. 



"The one class have schools, seminaries, colleges, universities, 

 apparatus, professors, and multitudinous appliances for educating 

 and training them for months and years, for the peculiar profession 

 which is to be the business of their life; and they have already 

 created, each class for its own use, as vast and voluminous liter- 

 ature, that would well nigh sink a whole navy of ships. 



But where are the universities, the apparatus, the professors,
