243-45- 



Some of the plans of the Craftsman Farms are set forth. Active farm 

 operation is regarded as the first step in creating an ideal school environ- 

 ment. "To use the idea of education seems as big and interesting as 

 the whole of life itself. And the farm work which is necessary to make 

 the land productive for our own maintenance and also to make the 

 ground attractive to the eye seems to us to afford a series of experiments, 

 the educational value of which no scientific laboratory could equal."

 American Academy, XXXV (1910), 150-55. 



The purpose of this paper is to "emphasize the advisability" of extend- 

 ing the work in agricultural education. "Education must be democratized 

 and made to subserve the economic interest of man. This will not kill the 

 cultural school but foster it. The man who wants to be a lawyer or a 

 doctor or a teacher or a journalist will have a hundred opportunities where 

 he now has one."

 State Board of Agriculture (1909), 112-37.

 valuable suggestions on this subject.

Four problems are discussed : maintenance of soil fertility, farm labor, 

 education, and socialization of farm life. Mr. Wallace was a member of 

 the Country Life Commission. His discussion of rural education, there- 

 fore, is of more than ordinary interest.

 Department of Agriculture (1907), 231-36. 



General improvement of rural schools is regarded as necessary and 

 certain to be brought about. Better teaching, consolidation, attention given 

 to nature-study and agriculture in public schools are suggested as means 

 of improvement.
