Now whatever the state may do to-

The co-operative plan Is the best plan

right spirit to earry It out. Under this
plan any business undertaking is man-
' l'y a committee; every man has
one \ ote. and only one vote; and every
one gets profits according to what he
sells or buys or supplies. It develops in-
dividual responsibility and has a moral
as well as a financial value over any
other plan. y
I desire only to take counsel with the
farmers as fellow-citleens. It is not the
problem of the farmers alone that I am

Mrst, effective co-operation among
farmers, to put them 011 a level with the
organized Interests with which they >1o

Second, .1 ntw kind of schools in the
country which shall teach the children
as much outdoors as indoors and per-

country life and not as at present, main-
ly for life In town.

and rightly, unanimous in demanding
ro these may well be added better san-

slavery of continuous ill health.
Ty Develop Country Community.
To improve our system of agriculture
seems to me the most urgent of the^asks
which lie before us. But it cannot. In
my Judgment, be effected by measures
which touch only the material and tech-
nical side of the subject; the whole busi-
ness and lite of the farmer must also
be taken into account. Such considera-
tions led me to appoint the commission
on country life. Our object should be
to help develop in the country commu-
nity the great ideals of the community
life as well as of personal character. One
of the most important adjuncts to this
end must be the country church, and I
Invite your ultenlion to what the com-
mission says of the country church and
of the need of an extension of such work
as that of the Young Men's Christiao as-
sociation In country communities. I^et
me lay special emphasis upon what the
commission says at the very end of its
report on personal Ideas and local leader-
ship. Everything resolves itself in the
ena into the question of personality.
Ne.ther society nor government can do
much for country life unless there is vol-
untary response I11 the personal ideals
of the men and women who live in the
country. In the development of charac-
ter the home should he more Important
than the school, or than society at large.
When once the basic material needs have
been met, high Ideals may be quite in-
dependent of income; but they cannot be
realized without sufficient Income to pro-
vide adequate foundalion; and where the
community at large Is not financially
prosperous It is impossible to develop a
high average personal and community
Ideal. I11 short, the fundamental facts
of human nature apply to men and wom-
en who live in the country Just as they
apply to men and women who live In the
towns. Given a sufficient foundation of
material well being, the Influence of the
fanners' wives cn their children be-
comes the factor of first importance in
.letermlnlng the attitude of the next gen-
eration toward farm life. The farmer
should realize that the person who most
needs consideration on the farm Is his
wife 1 do not In the least mean that she
should purchase ease at the expense of
duty. Neither man nor woman is really
happy or really useful save on condition
of doing his or her duty. If the wom-
an shirks lier duty as housewife as
home keeper, as the mother whose prime
function is to bear and rear a sufficient
number of healthy children, then she is
not entitled to our regard. But if she
does her duty she Is more entitled to out
regard even than the man who does
his duty; and the man should show spe-
cial consideration for her needs.

the most eminent physicians it was essen-
