That the Farmers Union of North arolina rings true in the matter of" etter education, is shown by the strong solutions, published below, that were iopted at the recent State.Convention eld in Salisbury. Your committee on education asks iaye to submit the following report: First We feel that the union has luse to rejoice over the fact that it as been helpful in widening and deepling an interest in industrial and >chnical education in our State. Our tiion holds that farm boys and farm iris have an indisputable right not , nly to education in the general ranches of the ordinary curriculum, ut to the specific instructions that will t them to excel on the farm and in the arm home, and enable them to live in reater comfort, intellectual enjoyment nd in greater wealth. We hold that ducation properly directed will accomdish these things; and call on the memlers of the locals and on the county organizations to strive mightily to place uch an education within the reach of ivery North Carolina child. Second. By the aid of' our union, a aw enabling ?aeh county that so deired it, to establish a farm life school, ras framed by the last legislature. Two counties have already taken adantage of this law and several other onnties are now waging campaigns to istablish such schools. We ask this invention to enjoin all its officers ind members to Join heartily in these ampaigns and put these Invaluable chools on a permanent basis. We alio ecommend that this convention re-afirm its belief that all rural schools hould teach the fundamental princi als of good farming and domestic cience to our cniiaren aua urge its lembers in each county to see that his is done. We also urge that room e made in our schools for these subects by such economy of time in other ubjects as will leave time for these ranches that are so vital to young, peole who are to live on the farm, and hat in whatever subjects it be possile, text books especially adapted to ural needs be used. Third. Wc recommend as the sense f this body thatyeveiy effort be made D employ for tne instruction of our hildren the very best equipped teachrs thafcj^an be found, and that salaries irge enough to command such teachers e paid. Fourth. ?ince under our school law he county superintendent of schools an either make or mar the efficiency >f our schools, we recommend that this fficer be employed for the whole of his ime^that he devote his entire strength 0 this office, and that if possible he be 1 trained professional teacher. fcifth. Recognizing that competent eacherB are needed for the teaching of ;ricnlture in our rural life schools and n common schools, we recommend that he institutions which are fitting Buch eacherB be authorized to give them ree tuition, provided they obligate hemselves to teach for at least two ears. Sixth. We ask that our school others and our members heartily cooperte with the United States government i it's conduct of corn clubs for our oys and of canning clubs for our girls. Seventh. The value of scientific and itensive farming, as taught in farm fe schools and agricultural collies, as been fully demonstrated this year 1 the general drought that has preailed throughout tne state, good crops eing the result where these methods eye been employed. We, therefore, am mend these practices to the fannrs of oar State. H. D. Emktoi, Chairman P. E. Shaw, R. L. Little, Secretary.
