SUPERVISION, INSTRUCTION AND SUPPORT 



few agents, Dr. Knapp used the following language of 

 prophecy : 



"The time is opportune for this great work. Friends will rise 

 up to aid it. Providence, destiny cannot be thwarted. The revolution 

 must continue until the problems of poverty are solved, the measure 

 of human happiness full and the reproach that has hung over our 

 rural domain, by reason of unthrift, ignorance and poverty shall be 

 wiped out and America shall possess a yeomanry worthy of a great 

 nation. In advocating a campaign of demonstration for increasing 

 the earning power of the people on the farms I would not detract 

 from any lines of spiritual or intellectual uplifting. Churches must 

 be established, schools and colleges maintained, science taught and 

 country betterment promoted, but they must keep step with increas- 

 ing productive power. I am simply calling in question the possibility 

 of obtaining all these grand results of a high civilization without any 

 money to pay the cost and without earning power to sustain them."
