I l _ _ d. ^ a 5*aefcd VEkjtT IDPiAtl. jMjy in a recent issue of the (MtailVPm a timely article headed, "We mflrod?> its," in which the writer shows that it Is a ell 4elcrmined fact that the condition which m mado possible the oppreeeioa of agrieulire by unjust legislation and combination 1 the neglected education of the agricultural lasers. There can be no doubt that education is eceasary to the upbuilding, materially, noisily and morally, of tho farmers. Ineed. education is a n-tinnal nrr?and 1 ic people must have it if we ere to insist aln government of the people, by the people, ml for the people. Thie (bet our fore* | there recognised when they declared "eduMr?n and popular representation thepiilere u liberty;" and for popular education our rlacst and beat men have been strtviSg II along from the infancy of onr republic ntil (lie present time. Hut the question is, how are the sgfieulitral classes in their present eoudltion to inuguratc a plan by whioh they may provide system of education without Incurring extnse, which, flroa a material point of view, i greater than la l*wiblc far them to bear T From that point of view, whea we realise be present depreMfcn of the agricultural ifople everywhere, it eppears as if the srmers' only hope of education depend* ipon the public schools. The present pubic school system, in our State at least, does lot and cannot satisfy popular demands for ducstion. Schoo's supported by private individual* re, as a rule, not permanent, nor are first lasi I ?so hers always employed. By the so of the term " first-class," I exclude eveav ?tl men and women who . have had no Wir1 fipfrtwiW la mnmillMMP if teachiog; for we must bear in a^lhai faching, like all via?r pnu'nNotl, is a C?mlination of an art and a science, and unless he would-be teacher has an understanding f this science and some degvea of skill in his art be cuunot hope to do the work ef a uccessful teacher, nor is he entitled to b* *11 mil n iaaaKao A we'll trained teacher is an absolute neoss jty to an efficiently working ssbool. Let he pupils be five-year-olds or twenjy-yoarIds, let them be children of peasants or the hildren of kings, thero is no difference, so r st mental training is concerned, and tko ooner that fact is recognised the better for lie cause of education. When we need the services of a physician r a lawyer, as a rule, we consult those who isve had most experience and have given 3 sufficient proof of koowfedge and skill n their respect ire professions. Surely arents cannot fail to sec that as much skill nd carc should be taken in cultivating and raining the minds of their children ss in aring for their bodies and looking after their (\aterial interests. Then, if the farmers are to lead the reorm movement in behalf of the great cause f popular education, let us put this down i the first plank of our platform?"we hall have educated and trained teachers, ven st the cost of groat expense." Yet, even a good teacher is not all that Is eoessary to a good school. To bs efficient, a cbool must necessarily be permanent, and a be permanent it must have a good support, rood teachers cost something, and good chool buildings cost something, and taking tic children out of the farm durinw work oison costs something, vet theeC|j^BMMkO rices that musf be paid iiyorder to wlKfalu ooif schools, r The farmer must pay (base rices or snffdr bis obildran to grow up in (noraoc# and degradation?the bawara of ood and drawers of water for the rest of isnkind.
