WE^JSADUSATE. rJt' In a recent is*ue of the Otllon /^HPR < is a timely article headed, "We niuW educate," in which the writer shows that it is a I well determined fact that the condition wh'ch j has made p ssihlethc oppression of agrlcul lure by unjust legislation ami combination i? the neglected education of the agricultural [ classes. There enn he no doubt thnt education is neee?asry to the unbuilding, materially, socially ami morally, of the farmers. Indeed. education is a national necessity, and the people must hare it if we are to maintain a government of the people, by the people, ami for the people. This fact our forefathers recognized when they declared "odu, cat i n and popular representation thcpillera of liberty;" and for popular education our 1 wisest and lust men have been striving all along from tho infancy of our republic until the present time. Ihtt (tic question is. how arc the agricultural classes m their present condition to inaugurate a pian by which they may provide , a ij htem ofeluea'io. without incurring ex1 pense, which, from a material point of view, i-i g-rator than is possible for them to bear? r From that point of view, when we renliic the j i f-ent depression of the agricultural p'oplc every wh*re, it appears as if the farmers only hope of education depends upon the public school*. The present public ?ehool system, in our State at least, does not and cannot rnti?fy popular demands for education. Sehou's supported by private individuals are. a- a rule, not permanent, nor ara first cla^t teachers always employed. Idy the u-e of the term first-class," I exclude even educated men and women who have bad na ' uWlll.rV>f t'vp+rnnty^lir tfr1 pinfttaWiff' r I of teaching : for we must bear in npmLibftV i teaching, like a'I other professions, is a font' hination of nn art and a sc'ence, and unless the would ;?v teacher ha- an understanding ! of this <eioncc an<l some degree of skill in this art lie cannot hope to do the work of a successful teacher, nor is lie entitled to be called a teacher. ,\ well tniinc I teacher is an absolute neces> miy to an efficiently working school. Let tlie pupils be five-yesr-olda or twenty-yearolds. lot ihem be children of peasants or the children of kings, there is no difference, so fir oe menial training is concerned, and the sooner that fact i- recognised the better for the cause of education. When we need the services of a physician or a lawyer, as a rule, we consult those who have had most experience and have given ^ us sufficient proof of knowledge and skill f in their respective professions. Surely ' parent-cannot fail to-ee that as much skill au I eare slioul 1 he taken in cultivating and training the minds of their children as in earing ' r their bodies and looking after their material interests. Then, if the farmers arc to lead tlie reform movement in behalf of the grout cause of popular education, let us put this down n the first plank of our platform ? "we ( sha'i have educated an 1 trained teachers, 1 even at the cost of great expense." Yet, even a g-md teacher is not all that is ne^es-ary to a g I school Tube efficient, a school must necessarily bo permanent, and t ti he permanent it must haxea good support. * ti n ! teachers < >st something, and good .- ho.d buildings ' >st something, and taking the ehi'dren out < f the farm luring work - i- 11 Co-!- something, vet Ihc-eaafcgrtho i pi i\e thitinitslhi pai 1 in-order to fMRttain g t schools. * The farmer must pay these prices or suffer bis children to grow up in ignorance and degreJation?the hewers of woo l and drawers of water for the rest of mankind. The farmer cannot afford te economize in this matter of education.? , Ihdhtrs and cents are as dross compared with the social, moral, and political wellbeing of his children and his children's I ehi'dren. Yet that kind of economy has done much to bring farming to its present i depve--e 1 condition. As a result, agriculture is behind in tli?? M?? "V ? ? ?vu VI }'l"?l?7V0 wc , find nociul lite on the farm nt the 1<?went ebb; i we fuel farmer# blank, no far an filling F the high uflico of citizenship in concerued. In the wor-ln of the living tioethie, agricul1 Hire is crying for '-light, more light.'' Then, brother firmer#, if you would Jiave i Jtonr ehihlren educated, just make up your 1 minds that you have got to pay for it. It in j j n ilebt you owe them, and a debt which the I justice of high heaven deuianda you #helj pay.
