THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Farmers and Education. ‘•What the ordinary farmer needs uliove all things is better education; and by this we mean not so much additional knowledge of a technical sort, hut tin- more flexible habit of mind that comes with reading, the susceptibility to ideas that is acquired from acquaintance with a different atmosphere than the one in which he ordinarily lives. Tic average British farmer is not educated up his nosit ion or his opportunities; hut it is not so much technical education that is lacking, as an awakening to ideas.” —Sir Daniel Hall.
