+???.??(Ml?t Educational ? Department Conducted by J. P. CANADAY. County Supt. of Public Schools The Boy Who Wins at Farming Must Know His Business. This is an age of ? lucation. The uiau who was must- have an educated tuiud, or baud, or both. Education means equipment for life's work. A carpenter cauuot do good won; without good sharp tools. No merchant or manufacturer woul i thiok of en gaging in business without first educating himself alon^' Uie liuee he wishes to follow, nor would a progressive merchant or manu facturer think of conducting hi> business without taking and reading ail the papers which ^ purdished in the interest of bis business. BETTER LEAHX WHY AS WELL AS HOW . The business of f vrming re quires some study to pr isecute successfully, and the young men who have an inclination along this line should look carefully in to the advantages offered for trained men. Much training can be gained by working on the farm unaer a good manager, but in this case one learns only the "how" and not the "why." It does not enable him to work out problems which may be present ed to him from another stand point or with other complica tions. The skilled engineer is not paid so much for what he does as for what he knows. His problem is not how to get out of a difficulty, but to avoid them. We wish to make good citizens and good home-makers as well as bread-earners, so that some other training should be given than that of training the hand only. The mind should be ex panded. This can be done as tne student btudies about the soil, crops or any other subject, provided the student is taught and not lectured. how intensive cultivation ok the brain pays. The young man who takes a course in agriculture tits him self to better enjoy life. He in creases his earning capacity whether he works on a salary or works his own farm. It he can earn $1,500 a year working for someone else, he could do as well for himself. Let us take an ex ample of a boy who has a good common school education to start on. Suppose he starts out for himself and has no capital to work on. He starts at eighteen years old to work in a store, cot ton mill, or on a farm. He will command in a few years say a salary of $500 per year. This would be perhaps his maximum unless he should be a very bright boy. Suppose on the other hand he spends four years in college. He cau make his way d he wish es to, plenty of boys do, and at the end of four years he can com maud a salary if he proves worthy, of say $1,000 for the first five years and $1,800 there after. He has lost only four years of time as compared with starting at once into active life, but he has increased his earning capacity from two to four times, at a very conservative estimate. From this one cau see that an education pays from a tiuancial standpoint. Aside from this, his sphere of life is enlarged. He enjoys life more and becomes something more than a cog iu the wheel. Chas^M. Conner, Professor of Agriculture, .North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College, Italeigh, N. C. Intensive Farming. There is do question about the wisdom of intensive farming, even with good labor conditions; and with labor so unreliable and uncertain as it is now, there is no other successful plan open to the farmers of this region. Making land rich makes its cultivation easier, less expensive aud doubles the yield for the same amount of labor. We have heard of a book, by some author, whose tittle was. 'Ten Acres Enough,"and there is more wisdom or logic in it than many will admit or realize.? Scotland Neck (X. C ) Common weat'h.

With increasing years people are paying more attention to vacation Aud every man and woman who works ought to take some vacation. Without it life grows monotonous and our common tasks very tiresome. I'lan an outing; go for a few days rest; get somehow a few] da*e recreation It gives one a ; fresh hold on affairs, a new 1 rise on labor, a bright, outlook on] I business and a greater love for. home and the tolks who live j there. The summertime with, its lung weary days is here,] aud no uian or woman can work throuph tbem all ami remain; hopeful a id happy. In this respect our govern i meut sets a good example. It is estimated that the summer vaca- j tiou of Uncle Sam's employee's ; costs annually $0,000,000. The ordinary government em ployee gets thirty days vacation with pay. And the heads of de- ] pertinents scatter in all direc tions for summer iest and recrea tion. All of us are not blessed vitii government jobs, but most are blessed with the privilege of labor, aud should therefore in dulge sometime in the pleasure of rest.
