It unfortunately happens that the teachers in our schools hold out to pupils its an inducement to study, the xewards cf e,rofessional lifts and a social position which a liberal education iseal culated to afford, instead c f.impressing upon their minds the importance of ed- ucation for its own sake. As soon, therefore, as the farmer boy or girl gets a little more than ordinary scholarship, here comas with it a distaste for labor ;and a yearning for some other mode of life. Instead of this, both in Public and in the High School, the rewards of study, which teachers should hold out to these young people should be the in- tellectual joys of communion with the great writers of our own and of past ages and that the highest culture is not inconsistent or incompatable with tilling the soil and that a whole circle of sciences is necessary to the highest success as a farmer. Our social customs, too, have an im- portant bearing on the desertion of the farm. When the young farmer goes to city or town he finds that in social life the bank clerk, the professional student, and the man behind the coun- ter enjoy social distiection whieh is is tohe a e' us him simply b a.a e e leay dop country man and labors in the field.
