Pean. ; ' " .. . -.;m:t. Editor of the Warren. Record: ! .- la resident of your County, but a read ier of the. Warren Record, therefore I : venture these few words of approval of that timely article by Mr. Connels in a preceeding issue about the Farm Life School. - We have all come to see that the University, State Normal, and the Agricultural and Mechanical Collets, and other state schools are absolute necessities for the State. They are institutions that we can not do with out.: .Although these institutions are necessities, they are not reaching and benefiting directly the masses of our boys and girls. According to the best information available, we find that far less than one-fourth of the young men and women of school age ever attend one of the State colleges or higher 1 7 V " " K'- .therefore, the great majority of our people that have no opportunity of training save that which is furnished by the county schools. These are be ing improved and we desire to see them made more efficient in all prac tical training". We need an educated rural population. These rapid im- MV,0 i, , A .terns - will soon give us a better edu : cated citizenship. nf- w ' The vital question now is shall we make the same mistake that has been made t in the past, namely that ve shall fail to see.the necessity of the need of the individual. 1 have been connected with the school work of tne State for six years, and I have not found in - our present school system the opportunity for the right develop ment of tbe majority of the pupils in the schools, v Our courses of study are planned with the one thing in view, that the boys and girls should be pre pared to. go to College, but the great mass of them do not go; they soon drop out of school without any spe cial preparation for their life's work. I believe the time is close at hand, and that it is the purpose of the State Board of Education to establish in practically every county m the 'State a school that shall bear the same re lation to that .county as A. & M. and the State Nonrial bears to the State as a whole. A school in which every boy and girl in that county who desire it may get sufficient training in their chosen profession to make them a ' success. This -school will be the Farm Life School, a school that will offer s course of study that will make bet ter, farmers, better housekeepers, bet ter professional men, and a better County. .V Mr. Taxpayer, your money is being spent for the support of the schools why not have the best you can get? The children of , Old, historic Warren county deserve the best it is possible for them to have. What will you do about it? "H." SQUARE DANCE On last Thursday night there was a delightful Square dance in the old armory. . The figures were called by Mr. J.
