Perkins Hoyt, grand father of the editor of the Columbia Record, who waa a orominent citisen of Laurens In those days. The article is couched in dlcniued and graceful terms, and la a good example oi tne literary style popular In South Caro line In the older days. Toe most salient point in it Is the recognition of the lack of Interest In agricultural education. It Is emphasised that "it has been the prevalent opinion that a farmer need not be educated, or at best, he could do very wen n ne couiu read a paragraph without spelling more than ha.f the words, write a line la his day book without misspelling more than half, and understood sui- flctent of arithmetic to make two and two count five -the last to be his prin ciple source of profit "Why are our sons scattered far and near over the great West?" the report Inquiries. Why do you get but one, two or tnree barrels of corn to the acre of what you do plantT Or, more significantly, why do you get but one small bale of cotton to the acre? Why does South Carolina pay her tens of thous ands, aye, her hundreds of thousands; annually to Tennessee, Kentucky, and other States for horses, mules, pork and flour V How slmuar are these- questions to others that the press of South Carolina Is dinning tn the ears of the peop.e even to this day? And the report makes the sume answer: All these questions, with many more, may be answered in a few words the want of a proper education for the farmer." The' solution of the problem sug gested by 4he committee is obvious, the same solution that is proposed now, and which, happily, the State and the people are actually and rapidly putting into effect The com mittee urges that "The son having ac quired a good English education, in cluding Mathematics, his parents hav ing decided that he should be a farmer, and they are able and willing to spend something more upon his education; let him enter a school or college where he can acquire a thorough knowledge of agricultural chemistry; and let a school be selected where he not only, can find the theory, but also some practice. The establishment of such schools by the- farmers Is recommended, but the report makes a noteworthy dis tinction, which illustrates the differ ence in the point of view of 1854 and 1910. "We do not recommend manual labor schools, for they are not adapted to the South, but we would - recom mend such schools as have attached to them a farm, where the student can see practically before him from week to week, from month to month, and from year to year, all the advan tages of the science, the theory of which he Is daily acquiring, and dur ing the vacation of his school let him spend some portion of them in put ting in practice on the old homestead, something of which he has learned under the patronage of 'oiu Ben,' or 'Uncle Tom," which will not only in terest himself, but also create a zeet in the minds of the servants for bet ter fanning.' Here we have strongly illustrated by implication the slave holders opin ion that the actual work of the farmer was to to be done exclusively by the slave; that the "pulllng'of the bell cord over the mule" waa the business of "old "Ben" , and not of "Young Master," and that the latter would be completely educated when he had learned agricultural chemistry and the theoretical science of husbandry. "Young Master" was to .be the di rector of the farming operations, in the strict sense of the word, and waa not himself to - become "a - horny- banded eon of toll." There is the fur ther ' recommendation, nevertheless. that not only the boy. who would In herit the plantation, should receive this education, but that it should also be given to the young man who ex pected to begin life as an overseer, The importance of the over-seer's vo cation is stressed, and the planter is told that in choosing an over-seer, low wages should - not be thought r of. "There are three things that a man should .never atop to count. . dollars and cents upon, when he has found the right material; a cow -for ' his dairy, a teacher for his children, and an overseer for his plantation."-. Here we have the essence of principles that the most enlightened of our peop.e ara endeavoring to carry out now. .- The recommendation about the cow re veals that our forbears discerned the necessity tor observing 'sanitary laws on the farm, and they saw that ue milk supply and Its protection were among the primary matters of impor tance in insuring hea.ih.

"On the other hand," It la urged that "the negro, being an imitative being, if given good examples and good teach ing, will be apt to follow many of them, which will tend to elevate his character as a servant and bring Into play all of the best qualities of his nature. - Although the negro Is no lcfnser a slave, the intelligent opinion In the eoutn nas reached the same conclu sion,' and insists that the South can not progress until the negro labor Is made industrially efficient and tt is held that to accomplish this he must be encouraged to acquire good habits: In other words, that his moral nature must be built np. In theory, the chief advance we have made since this report, in 1854, Is the abandoning of the notion that manual labor Is not proper for the white man, and that difference In oplnion-'now, perhaps, is to be attrib uted to what the report calls the loss of "the State's peculiar Institution." If slavery were still In existence, it Is likely that we would still expect all tne actual lining and drawing to be done by the slaves,- The better and wiser view of the 20th century Is that the rounded education of tbe farmer In cludes the training of the band no less than of the head, and that the two kinds of training may be nat urally joined with a net saving of en ergy and results of larger value in de veloping the young man. ' For more than half a century the need of educating tne farmer has been understood.
