? We are glad to see so many young
men from the farm attending s(hool.
A farmer needs an education as much
as persons of other trades. The farmer
of fifty years ago is not the farmer of
today, and the farmer of today will not
be the farmer of twenty years' hence.
It cost* but little to educate the boy at
the present time. Money spent for ed
ucation is well ?pent. Franklin, said
"A dollar in the head is worth two in
?? the pocket." ? ? <???"?. -t
? Farmers, educate your noys. You
mav (five them money, but they may
not know how to spend it in the right
way. Y"U may give them property, and ;
tbey may not know how to keep it.
Give tliem an education and they will;
have something that cannot be taken
away ? something that they can giye t
awav and still retain, something that j
will give them a place in society, eq jip
them for life's battles, and may tier
haps enroll their names on the page9 ot
fame.
