Miscellaneous 
Farm  Education 
A  short  time  ago  one  of  our  leading 
magazines  offered  a  prize  for  the  best 
article  on  the  subject,  “What  I  would  do 
with  a  million  dollars.”  I  wrote  an  ar¬ 
ticle  but  did  not  send  it  in.  The  Hope 
Farm  man  expresses  the  same  idea  I  had 
in  mind  much  better  than  I  did  it.  I  also 
tried  to  formulate  a  scheme  to  finance 
the  ordinary  farm  boy’s  education.  Girls 
are  more  apt  to  get  an  education.  Boys 
are  needed  so  badly  at  home  that  their 
chance  to  learn  from  schools  usually  ends 
when  they  are  16.  If  money  could  be  fur¬ 
nished  farmers  at  a  low  rate  of  interest 
so  they  could  buy  tractors  and  tools  to 
go  with  them,  or  so  they  could  hire  extra 
help,  the  boys  might  stand  a  better 
chance  to  get  an  education. 
An  old  man  once  said  to  me,  “The 
trouble  with  this  country  is  there  is  too 
much  education.  There  are  too  many  ed¬ 
ucated  fools.”  I  said,  ‘‘Mr.  F.,  I  think 
an  educated  fool  is  to  he  preferred  to  an 
ignorant  fool  any  day.” 
It  is  a  good  many  years  since  I  read 
Jules  Verne’s  “Trip  to  Mars,”  but  as  I 
remember  it  the  Martians  were  repre¬ 
sented  as  teaching  their  children  most 
thoroughly  the  things  for  which  they 
seemed  to  have  a  natural  bent.  Thus,  if 
a  boy  liked  farming  he  would  be  taught 
farming,  and  only  given  a  rough  knowl¬ 
edge  of  other  things ;  so,  too,  if  he  wished 
is  by  observing  a  few  simple,  sensible 
rules,  which  have  been  compiled  to  as¬ 
sist  in  making  the  world  of  traffic  a  safer 
place. 
First,  I  will  endeavor  to  obey  these 
rules  myself,  and  to  influence  my  com¬ 
rades  to  observe  them  also. 
1.  Do  not  play  in  the  streets,  with 
bicycles,  sleds,  skates  and  the  like,  nor 
play  ball  or  other  games  there. 
2.  When  in  the  street,  keep  to  the 
right  in  meeting  anyone,  and  to  the  left 
in  passing  him. 
3.  When  leaving  a  street  car  or  bus, 
step  off  and  face  the  front. 
4.  Do  not  run  in  front,  of  vehicles,  nor 
spring  out  from  behind  trees  or  tele¬ 
phone  poles. 
5.  Never  attach  a  cart  or  sled  to  any 
vehicle. 
6.  When  riding,  always  avoid  attract¬ 
ing  the  attention  of  the  driver. 
7.  In  crossing  a  street,  look  in  both  di¬ 
rections  before  leaving  the  curb,  cross 
on  the  walk  if  possible,  or,  if  not,  in  a 
perpendicular  course.  Watch  for  any 
signals  the  traffic  policeman  may  give,  or 
which  are  posted  in  the  street. 
8.  Never  drop  a  fruit  skin,  tack  or 
other  substance,  dangerous  to  any  per¬ 
son,  walking  or  riding,  in  the  street. 
t>.  Keep  eyes  and  ears  open,  and  con¬ 
stantly  on  the  alert. 
10.  Whenever  I  see  a  person  who  is

to  be  a  lawyer,  doctor,  etc.  I  think  Jules 
Verne’s  notions  in  this  regard  were  all 
right.  School  days  are  too  short  to  ex¬ 
pect  all  pupils  to  pass  the  same  percent¬ 
age  on  all  subjects.  We  try  to  turn  our 
young  people  out  all  cut  by  the  same  pat¬ 
tern,  and  then  we  say  “Individuality  is 
what  counts.”  IIow  can  a  boy  keep  his 
individuality  when  he  is  forced  into  the 
same  mold  as  all  of  his  fellows? 
If  all  farm  boys  were  given  a  chance 
to  get  the  education  they  wanted,  prob¬ 
ably  a  great  many  would  not  come  back 
to  the  farms,  but  that  would  be  a  blessing 
for  farming.  There  are  too  many  men  en¬ 
gaged  in  farming  who  have  no  natural 
bent  for  it.  This  is  the  cause  of  much 
discontent  among  farmers.  The  great 
needs  of  farming  today  are,  first,  fewer 
farmers ;  second,  more  enthusiastic  farm¬ 
ers.  “Enthusiasm  is  the  life  of  the  soul.” 
Third,  organization.  If  only  half  as 
many  people  were  engaged  in  farming,  a 
farmer  might  stand  some  chance  to  ex¬ 
change  an  hour  of  his  work  for  an  hour 
of  the  other  man’s  work. 
If  all  farmers  were  enthusiastic  about 
their  life  work,  none  of  them  would  be 
content  to  be  tenant  farmers,  but  would 
get  land  of  their  own  as  soon  as  possible. 
There  is  much  more  satisfaction  in  farm¬ 
ing  our  own  land,  even  when  it  is  not 
near  so  up-to-date  as  a  farm  belonging 
to  another  man. 
If  there  were  fewer  and  more  zealous 
farmers,  organization  would  follow  as  a 
natural  course.  carrie  timmerman. 
My  Share  in  Making  the  Highways  Safe 
The  death  toll  for  the  great  World  War 
reached  and  passed  the  record  of  all  ages. 
However,  when  we  compare  the  war 
death  toll  with  that  of  accidents,  we  must 
concede  that  war  is  a  minor  death  agency. 
“Accidental  death”  stalks  along  the  high¬ 
ways,  an  omnipresent  menace  to  those 
who  drive  automobiles  and  other  vehicles, 
and  to  pedestrians  as  well.  War  takes 
its  toll  of  life  from  the  flower  of  man¬ 
hood,  but  “accident”  reaps  its  harvest 
in  women  and  children  as  well  as  men. 
Nor  is  death  the  only  fruit  which  “acci¬ 
dent”  gleans.  How  many  nervous  wrecks, 
cripples  for  life,  and  otherwise  maimed, 
does  this  monster  count  among  his 
sheaves ! 
In  this  twentieth  century,  an  age  of 
hurry  and  bustle,  necessity  dictates  that 
a  movement  be  opened  to  teach  safety  on 
the  highways.  The  National  Automobile 
Association  and  various  educational 
boards  are  working  to  achieve  this.  Al¬ 
though  I  am  a  child,  I  can  realize  that 
the  children  of  the  United  States  have  a 
vital  part  to  play  in  prompting  this  move¬ 
ment,  and  in  making  the  highways  of  to¬ 
morrow  safer  channels  of  travel.  I  think 
the  best  way  in  which  I  can  do  my  “little 
most”  to  carry  on  this  safety  campaign 
feeble,  bewildered  or  in  any  way  ill-fitted 
to  cross  the  street,  I  will  offer  my  assis¬ 
tance. 
11.  I  will  study  traffic  rules  and  condi¬ 
tions  to  understand  them  and  find  ways 
of  improvement. 
12.  I  will  train  myself  in  self-control, 
quick  observation,  thinking  and  acting. 
13.  When  I  wish  to  converse  with  any¬ 
one  whom  I  meet  in  the  street,  I  will 
turn  and  walk  with  him,  rather  than 
pause  on  the  walk  or  corner. 
14.  In  conclusion,  I  will  do  my  best  to 
obey  these  rules  and  get  my  comrades  to 
do  the  same.  Thus  I  think  I  can  make 
them  realize  and  clearly  understand  the 
necessity  of  guarding  their  own  safety 
and  that  of  others,  since  in  this  way 
alone  can  our  purpose  be  accomplished.
