Ladies and gentlemen, our Educational Number. We are happy to make' the introduction and hope you will find this week's paper growing upon you as, you make its further acquaintance. This is the Fourth of July Independence Day and the sen timent of Aunt Mary's letter on our ; Social Chat page could not have been more felicitous than the one with which she has caused it to glow from be ginning to end. If you are not already enlisted heart, hand, and soul in the campaign against illiteracy and ignorance, enlist to-day. Join the ranks of those who are waging a truceless war to separate ourselves from the thralldom of ignorance and to establish the reign of enlightenment, prog ress, and power. Three State Superintendents of Public Instruc tion are telling in this week's Progressive Farmer what the farmers can do to obtain better educa tional advantages for their children and how they can do it. "Better Schools for the Country Chil dren," the heading carried by Superintendent Joy ner's article on the second page, furnishes the key note for this number of The Progressive Farmer, b. note that sounds clear and strong through Super iutendent Martin's article ; on page 3 in behalf of the boys and girls of South Carolina, and Superin tendent Eggleston's on page 4 in behalf of Vir ginia's farmer boys and girls. There are two. things to be done: (1) Provide better school facilities; (2) take advantage of the facilities after they are provided. How these bet ter facilities can be provided in any community where they are needed is set forth in the three ar tides by these field-marshals of education in three States, and the importance of earnestly taking ad vantage of educational training is finely presented by Rev. Hight C. Moore on page 6 in his classical and sympathetic message vto Farmer-Son, and on page 14 by Prof. Conner; of the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College, and by Dr. R. T. Vann, President of the Baptist University for Women, Raleigh, N. C. Mr: Moore, imbued by ex perience with sympathy for the farm-boy and his aspirations, and with a mind and pen oozing with the poetry and prose, of rural life, has a message that should stir and stimulate to higher effort every farmer-boy who reads it and we hope they will all read it. Professor Conner knows how edu cation and special training helps to better farming and to a more efficient life, and be tells the boy who would win at farming that he must know his business and gives his reasons. What shall I do for my daughter? is a question which Dr. Vann helps the farmer girl's parents to solve. The boy, vou know, can knock along somehow; but the girl? Well, read Dr. Vann's message for yourself. But while giving some extra thought to the boys and girls the best crop of all we have not neg lected the usual departments of The Progressive Farmer. Mr. J. A. Hoyt explains the proposed plan for cotton banks for which Mr. E. D.' Smith and his associates will wage a thirty days' cam paign in South Carolina. Prof. W. F. Massey writes of the great need of Southern uplands the resurrection of the dead skeleton of sand and clay into a living soil by being clothed richly in humus. Mr. A. L. French follows upon a kindred line with the wonderfully interesting topic of making an all-the-year-round pasture, so handled and grazed that land and pasture will improve from year to year. As it is not too soon to consider what green feed you will give to your laying hens this win ter, Uncle Jo comes to time all right with a good article on whole turnips for this purpose some thing you will do well to remember .when you get to making your turnip patch now pretty soon. These are Institute days, and they are among the richest, too, that come the way of the farmer and the farmer's wife who are progressive enough to take full advantage of them. The program for North and South Carolina Institutes you will find on page 15. ; And, finally, you will find on page 13 something that we were prevented from giving you in its regular place in our last issue for June, namely, Suggestions for July Farm Work by our Mr. T. B. Parker and Dr.' Tait Butler. These you will be sure to find helpful in guiding you to the best fore handed uses of these July days on the farm. WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS WEEK'S ; PAPER. Page.
