The 148.000 teachers and the 7,000,000 pupils of the South are being urged by their educational onriniiltnrol lourfpi'5 flSSPITlhlp OilU Ug 1 IVU1 LUl U1 IVWVIVtW vw 3,000,000 farmers, their families and friends in the 89,000 school houses on November 27 for an hour, in order to survey and review their agricultural resources and achievements, and to express their appreciation of the services of one of their great benefactors. Agriculture is worthy of this consideration, for the farmers of the nation have this year produced ten billion dollars' worth of crops to feed and clothe nearly 100,000,000 people here, with a surplus for other nations. Knapp Agricultural day is the official designation. The South wishes to honor the memory of Dr S A Knapp as the founder of the demonstration work and the boys' and girls' clubs. This is fitting, because 100,000 demonstrators are making A-nno nn tlioir forma onH pnm VU VIIVI4 MUV* vv... club boys are attracting world-wide ( attention by growing more than 225 i busnels on one acre at low cost. The i indications are that several of the 1 75,000 boys will this year break all ' records. It is fitting, because 25,000 ( arirls, in the harvest season, are fill- , ing pantries with wholesome food < and selling the su rplus. It is a duty, 1 because Dr Kn&pp taught a new jj nethod in agriculture and the lesjons must be more widely impressed | and unfailingly transmitted. Rep- t esentatives of England, Russia, ' Brazil, South Africa, Siam and Ar- J fentina have come to learn them. It , s high time for American schools to ^ ake the lead in these ideas. ? There is to be a Knapp school and ? i Knapp farm near Nashville and in < connection with Peabody college. < ^hen $150,000 is collected for the < 'arm and school building, $250,000 4 will be added for endowment of the 4 (chool of country life by the general 1 education board. No other such in- 1 ititution exists. It will s*:art out 1 vith the purpose of reaching and 1 wiping every school and farm in j ;he South. This institution will be 1 i laboratory, a clearing hou?e and j in assembling place for agricultural 1 md educational workers. Event- 4 lally it will have demonstration ^ ichoools in each State and county < combiner it_? lpswons. It will be a ' vorking, living memorial, but in a Jj :onspicuous place will also appear a ife-sized statue of t)r Knapp. What vast possibilities loom up if ;he people of the whole South will / mnually contemplate agricultural li natters for one hour! The State ind county Superintendents of edu- * ration are taking the lead in this novement. It will be a worthy trib- \ ite to a worthy man. The name of 8 rach contributor will be kept as a i grateful record. SUGGESTED PROGRAMME FOR KNAPP C AGRICULTURAL DAY. J November 27 or the nearest Friday 8 to that date. c 1.
