ROGERS, Principal, 8-16-tf Hope Mills, N. a Another Burden Laid Upon the Teachers, Who are not Pre pared to Meet Requirements -Many States Seeking Satis factory Methods of Teaching Agriculture. The State requires that agri culture be tautrht in the common j schools. By a set of resolutions I the Farmers' Union of this coun ' ty gave emphasis to State re Iquirements by asking Prof. Poole ! to have the schools teach this ! subject. Our superintendent has I complied. We thought the public ! school course was full to reple I tion.but here is another burden laid upon the teachers. Are they prepared to meet the require ments? To teach agriculture as a science, we, as a body, are not prepared. Every school would require a labratory and a teacher familiar with the natural scien ces. A teacher cannot succeed with this subject unless he is well grounded in botany, physics, chemistry, etc. How many of us know tne local or botanical names of our neighboring herbs? The handwriting is on the wall. The country demands the passing of the old agricultural methods.The sooner we prepare to meet the new requirements the better for all concerned. When civilization demanded a prohibitory senti ment against the sale of intoxi cants a short course on phisiol ogy and hygiene was added to the public school course. Wit ness the result. But we are required to teach agriculture now and haven't time to prepare to teach it as a science. The S:ate, at present, does not require it to be so taught. The little book on the subject, while it contains many important facts which ought to be known, is more suggestive than otherwise. It treats of subjects practically and not sci entifically. Our State is now mak ing an experiment av)d we should heartily cooperate to se cure success. What little success I have met with in teaching the book now in use has been as fol lows: I leave off as nearly as pos sible conditions of soils, plants, animals, and other subjects which pupils have no means of knowing from personal contract. I require them to study the lo cal physical geography of their neighborhoods. By this method they soon learn the fundamental principles of successful farming for their immediate sections. They are easily impressed with the importance of drainage, pro-pertillage,fertilization,andadapt-ability of certain plants and ani mals to their home conditions. If in our common school work we create a thirst for a more thorough knowledge of succes ful agriculture, we shall have accomplished much. Much is be ing done and said on "nature study" these latter days. Agri culture is preeminently a nature study. With us it is in its m fancy or experimental stage. h,t rtj J lS T T many states oi tne union are seeking satisfactory methods of teaching agriculture. The two most popular methods at present seem to be: (1) By adding it to the common school course, as our State has done;and (2) by estab lishing special schools for its de velopment, as has been done in Alabama and Georgia. The lat ter btates have established these schools, one to a congressional district. . The entireUnion is f ul ly aroused on the subject, nor does the awakening come too soon it undisputed data are true. At no time has the world had provisions to last more than six months. For the past several years farm population has gravi tated to lactones and cities. The per centage of consumers has in creased much more rapidly than the increase of produce. The time is rapidly approaching when the supply of food will not be adequate to meet actual demands unless conditions are reversed Compare present prices with past prices and draw your con elusions as to cause and effect.
