THE SEARCHLIGHT ROUTE"'
manen' agriculture without "pcasantlz- lug'' tR.)se (vIki :r.u;sl loyk to the land for a li\ ing. lie said:
"Where\er is found a iicrmanent and successful agriculture, measured mere¬ ly by the maintenance of soil fertility and high avera.ge cro]i yields, there Is found 11 iicasanliy-ed and labor deiiress- ed lieoplc whose days are full of toil and whose iiiinds I'lavi' never been giv¬ en much oiiportunity for growth.
"Even in this country more tlinn a million farmers live and support tbeir families on a labor income of less than a hundred dollars a year, and very lit¬ tle of this income actually comes to the farmer as money. So. despite all that has been said regarding tbe delights. the independence, the freedom and the self sufBcieney of the farm, people arc turning from It.
"While \here has been a steady de¬ crease in the percentage of our popula¬ tion engaged in agriculture, the iier cajdta production of our staple crops has been increasing. Tills is primarily due to the utilization of raachinerj-. making it practicable to more and more utilize horsepower and ofher pow¬ er instead of man power.
"Despite the fact that in practically all other countries the intensity of the farming has Increa.sed ^Yltb the density of population, this need not follovt- here, it would be unfortunate if it did follow, Ijccnuse an intensive agricul¬ ture bas been practic'iblc only where there is an oversupply of human la¬ bor. The bountiful crops from sm.ill areas have been made jiossibie oniy liv the toil and sweat of thc man who. while he is able to inoduce tbese rc suits, must do so at the expense of the mental, and 1 might .ihiiost say the moral, side of his lieing. 'i'liis is agri¬ cultural peasantry in ils worst fonn.
"The farm of the future will so util¬ ize modern l;;li<ir saving devices and efflciency metiiods tliat human l.iln.r will be rc'duced to a niiniinum, and the farmer nnd his children wlll have time, opportunity and means of living a sat¬ isfactory, wholesome life. It will proli ably mean a farm of average size.
"We may look forward to perma¬ nent husbandry, freed from thp blight of peasantry, standing sijuarely for Its plaee in the aflTalrs of the nation, but recognizing its relations and responsi bilitlea to other Industries, and recog nlzlng, further, that the fullest and best development of one can be attain* ed only through the fullest and best de¬ velopment of all.
"The demand Is for education that wlll teach the meaning of things and their relation to the present rather than the teaching of words and their rela¬ tion to the [mst. I am not so much
concerned with making more farmers ns I am with making l)etter onee.
"The school must concern itself mon- and more with the. needs of the peo¬ ple and lie more of a community cen¬ ter, with the teacher as a community builder. The mere infroduction of •agriculture' into the school yrlil not accomplish the ends desired, and It must lie fully realized tbat the school is not for the mvparatlon of life, buf ia life Itaelf."
