T. ALLEN Raleigh, N. C., July 31.—Farming has become such a cojnplex calling that it is "no longer possible to pro ceed on brawn and muscle alone," de clared A. T. Allen, state superintend- ? ent of public instruction here yester day in an appeal to the farmers con vention to provide equal educational opportunities for the children in ruBal districts. "This occupation cannot continue to hold its place of dignity and worth unless it begins, as all other oc cupations haa^e already done to plant itself on thrp^things Which come right „ out of thejaschool. Hbw can there be any great nope for it?, when its chil dren from generation to generation begin life with so great an education al handicap. Mr. Alien declared that modern methods of transportation and modern methods of living had made for great er competition in farming and, at the same time, for greater need of studying farm problems. Rural edu cation was necessary in a much great er degree and those not equipped wouid be unable to meet the present day conditions. "What may be done in the future," declared Mr. .Allen, "will depend not, in my opinion, so hmch upon legisla tive enactment as it will upon the ris ing sentiment and determination among the rural people themselves. "If a consuming desire for better school facilities should arise out of the life needs of the people as it did in the case of good roads, the coming of ^he state wide eight months term, yith all its concomitants would not be long delayed." , " Mr. Allen voiced a plea for rural education based on equal length of school terms with those of the urban communities, equal opportunity in facilities up tlnough the colleges for rural children, the same high quality of instruction in rural schools that is furnished in city schools, proper handling of rural children so that they may be educated along with other childr n of the same age and not when they are beyond their classes in age and equal opportunities to obtain the same physical conditions in the rural schools, so far as paraphernalia, hous ing conditions and other equipment was concerned. Following the morning session, 50 or more farmers engaged in a hog callng cont st, which is an annual f atorc of the convention. A crowd of fifteen hundred farmers and wo rn on gathered on the State College campus to witness this event. - The content is decided by volume of voices va iety, enticement, musical quality and facial expression.
