JOSEPH KKAl 8KOPF, Founder
AN EMERGENCY
While the ecouomic conditions we are now passing through are very grave, we ninst not lose faith in our Government, nor onr form of society, including our many worthy philanthropies — the most precious heritage a people ever had.
It is of infinite importance that they be preserved by demonstrations of support, at a time when encouragement is most urgenth^ needed.
We must cultivate the spirit of hope, not give way to despair; strive to further constructive activities; fulfill our duty to help America's development, and contribute to her charitable, educational and character-building in- stitutions, just as much as they are worth to us.
The Trustees of The National Farm School earnestly solicit your generous aid in the continued success of this philanthropic educational institution for deserving boys.

THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
Taking- Stock
Message of the President
HERBERT D. ALLMAN
to the Thirty-fourth Annual Meeting
of
The National Farm School
October 4, 1931
This annual meeting marks the beginning of our thirty-fifth successful year. Like a well-managed business concern, let us •take stock, not so much of assets and liabilities, but of the achieve- ments of an educational endeavor, long past its experimental stage.
"We are pleased with the School's progress during the past year. Its Faculty and Staff, under the supervision of Dean Good- ling, deserve your commendation. Never before has the per- sonnel of the student body rated so high intellectually, physically and morally. The careful selection of students can best be illus- trated by the calibre of the present Freshman Class.
Unemployment conditions cause the city youth to look coun- trywards. When leaving high school, he is confronted with the prohlem of seeking a job, or learning a trade or profession. He is aware of the thousands who want work, yet cannot find it. He weighs the advantages of country living, and its possibilities as a profitable i^ocation, for those scientifically trained. He compares congested city life — its noises, smoke and other nuisances with the open country. Such sensible thinking causes an abnormal num- ber of applications for our scholarships. Only a small percentage can be accepted — many must be turned away disappointed.
Trend in Modern Education
Benjamin Franklin wrote: "The good education of youth has been esteemed by wise men in all ages as the surest foundation of happiness of both private families and commonwealths. Almost
6 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
all governments have, therefore, made it a principal object of their attention to •establish and endow with proper revenues such seminaries of learning as might supply the succeeding age with men qualified to serve the public, with honor to themselves and to their country. As to their studies, they should be taught things likely to be most useful, as well as things ornamental."
This sound advice is in line with the modern theory of the purpose of education. The development of individual capacity, made possible through the excellent public school sj^stem of this country, is a valuable factor in preparation for a vocational career. TheTefore, preference for our scholarships is given to graduates of high school — they are better qualified to "follow through." Those we cannot admit are urged to continue their studies to the end of their four-year course, thus leaving the world's work to those who need it most during present unem- ployment conditions.
Unlike other schools and colleges, whose terms average eight or nine months, our school term covers the entire year — ^of which six months are devoted to the science of agriculture in classroom and laboratory, and six months to practice in fields and dairies. Correlative with this training is another phase of its curriculum, that of impacting the higher ethics of refinement, culture and good breeding to all students, so they may learn to use their faculties to the best advantage for themselves and others and to live completely.
Ultimate Results Essential
Oareful consideration should be given to the significant pur- pose of an educational endeavor, in relation to ultimate results. Success should not be measured alone by the number of our gradu- ates following agriculture.
In order to throw more light upon the scope of our philan- thropy and answer the occasional challenge '*Do Farm School graduates ^remain in agriculture?" I shall endeavor to analyze the question, and demonstrate the value of our institution, by submitting clear, palpable facts based upon many years' personal observation, and substantiated by nationally known educators, agriculturists and economists.
Assuredly, our graduates are not all farmers, but the per- centage in agriculture or allied industries is larger comparatively than that of most other vocational schools and colleges.
Purpose of tlie School
The basic aims of The National Farm School are to foster a love of country life ; to promote education in agriculture by
THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 7
teaching- city-bred boys the practice and science of that industry; to create an interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupa- tion's; to encourage thrift; develop rural leadership; and strengthen students' confidence in themselves and their work. It offers sound vocational guidance and develops community spirit.
Learning by Doing
"Labor Avith learning" is an esisential part of true educa- tion. Our students acquire knowledge through contact with reality. Recently, Yale University announced that its self-sup- porting students had won far more than their proportionate share of scholastic honors, an indication that high thinking, plain living and hard work lead to success.
Dr. Gruenther, of Columbia University, in a survey just pub- lished, shows that student gToups manipulating raw materials, converting them into usable products, are far superior to those who merely study in the customary school manner. This evi- dences that participation experience provides a natural back- ground for learning and brings about an integrated way of react- ing to a situation.
Close observation has convinced me that because of our method of education, students receive an invaluable training in self-reliauce and absorb fundamentals faT beyond the particular objective of the School.
Farm Training a Mental Stimulus
Under our system of industrial civilization, the road to suc- cess is surer for men who think clearly and logically. Many eco- nomic ills are due to the fact that the majority of men do not think or plan ahead, but continue in old ruts and repeat their mis- takes. Spending three years at our School in agricultural work, a boy of average ability un'consciously absorbs invaluable mental training. Days, weeks and months ahead he must plan an intelli- gent program of sowing, planting and reaping. He must study each piece of ground, its soil exposure, necessary crop rotation and mineral replenishments. He must prepare to fight various insects and weather conditions that interfere with growing plants and animal life, and to set up a defense against ravages and accurrences of all kinds.
There are no short cuts in farming. Neglect on the part of the operator at critical times spells failure. Errors cannot be covered up. Hence, the student realizes he must do the right thing at the right time. He has more than a mere job, for his
^ THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
interests, always changing, are stimulated. He becomes an experi- menter, learning to analyze, to synthetize and, above all, to ob- serve. Since he is so close to nature, his philosophy becomes sim- ple, sound and practical. He learns not to distort values, but to meet his daily problems frankly and intelligently. He enjoys the spirit of competition, knowing- that profitable income from the farm depends upon effi'cieut productivity and better marketing. In short the farmer looks upon things as they are — he separates the chaif from the wheat.
Working with nature — breeding livestock, watching things grow with a (scientific "know," solving farm problems requiring g-'ood judgment and prompt action, all tend to develop initiative, responsibility', sound thinking and a true sense of value.
Work and simple pastimes on the farm bring a truer reward than the overstimulating and often unhealthful occupations and recreations of city dwellers. The breadth and simple beauty of the countryside, the fragrance and feel of the cool soil underfoot, the seasons of planting and harvesting, of sun and rain, influ-' ence the sheer joy of independent living. Compare the rugged frame, the weathered face and clear eye of the country youth \rith that of his often physically weaker urban brother. Early rising, outdoor life and hard work with simple diet cannot help but build up physical strength and health.
Classes in Machinery Broaden Capacity
Our farm machinery classes train students even beyond their agricultural education. Here they study the art and mystery of automotive and traction mechanics and learn to handle all kinds of tools and equipment. Practice at the blazing forge and in the woodworking shops develops muscle, skill, accuracy and resourcefulness.
Under the guidance of our School Physician, we teaeh the importance of physiology and applied hygiene. Athletic sports, musical organizations, literary clubs and other recreational ac- tivities are sponsored by the School authorities, under competent supervision.
The essentials of character and personality are stressed. Students are taught to obey, and how to tactfully handle subordi- nates. The School spirit is democratic. There is no class dis- tinction. An atmosphere of camaraderie and fair-play permeates our campus life. Social or religious preferment has no place here. New arrivals soon learn they are judged upon their true Avorth.
THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 9
What of Our Graduates?
At a recent Alumni reunion, I met many successful Farm School graduates. Among them was a Professor of AgTiculture at the University of Missouri; the head of a large engineering concern: the president of one of the largest seed houses in America ; another an editor on a prominent New York daily.
An out'standing realtor in Chicago, who entered from an Eastern college, said to me: "When looking back upon my high school, college and Farm School days, it is to the latter I attribute most of my present success. The training Avas intensive and different. "
The careers of other outstanding graduates demonstrate the value of The National Farm School beyond its primarily agri- cultural education.
An energetic student, leader in class and sports, was gradu- ated with high honors and elected President of the National Alumni Association. Diligent and intelligent service as a farm employee enabled him to save sufficient to purchase his own farm. Though successful, he could not withstand an innate mechanical urge. Disposing of his land, he studied engineering while working for a master machinist. Today he is vice-president of one of the largest aircraft factories in the countr3\
Another graduate, editor of the School magazine, secured a job on a metropolitan newspaper. Within a short time he was earning a salary of $6,500 a year. He tells me his present voca- tion is but a means to an end, for after accumulating enough capital he intends to purchaise his own farm.
Opinions of Prominent Economists
Dr. Jacob J. Taubenhaus, '04, Chief Plant Pathologist at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, said to me :
"It is recognized today that courseis in agronomy, horti- culture, poultry, etc., are just as valuable to train the mind in systematic thinking as philosophy or oither sciences.
"A large proportion of oollege students specialize in lines they never follow, yet their time has not been wasted — they are better equipped. At this School, thirty years ago," he said, "I acquired a backgTOund, a wide horizon, a training in good citizen- ship and morals, most helpful throughout my career."
Mr. Aaron Sapiro, nationally known agricultural economist, after a recent .study of our gTaduate records, said :
"I note that a very fine proportion of your graduates are actively engaged in agriculture — that their excellent training is
10 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
reflected in the breadth of their interests — that many are doing technical ^York in agricultural schools and official positions most helpful to farmers all over the land. This proves j^ou have not only given them a knowledge fundamentally sound, but have rooted in them a love for that noble industry.
"Your graduate records justify very great pride, and war- rant the support of the American public. The National Farm School is not merely a great gesture by the Jews toward intelli- gent agricultural development, it is a great American organiza- tion, performing a substantial service for young Americans and guiding them into an intelligent, progressive fitness for agri- culture."
In a recent survey. Dr. Clyde L. King, agriculturist, econ- omist and professor of the Wharton School of Finance, said :
''Educational training is far too subtle in itss true values, to be measured even in part by the life vocations chosen by its graduates.
"For a training in agriculture, physical stamina, social values and mental development, one would look far and wide before a better background could be found than that offered by your School. Pupils learn most readUy in an environment charac- terized by happiness, creative activity, educational understanding and mutual service. Such training will be invaluable to any life work."
Concluding, he answers his o^vn query. "Have your gradu- ates succeeded? Notably so, whether in agriculture or in other pursuits. They show a versatility in their chosen calling, reflect- ing creditably upon the worthiness of the training they received. Your School has a place as strong as it is unique in the educa- tional service of this country,"
Accomplishing Fundamental Object — and More
Such opinions by outstanding agricultural educators deserve due consideration. A long record, substantiated by our many successful graduates in farming, proves we are accomplishing our fundamental object. Assuming this then to be true, my purpose is to stress the additional and unseen values of the School, upon which we should be judged and not alone by the number of graduates following agriculture. The point I A^ish to make is best expressed by Dr. King when he speaks of the "subtle results" of all educational training.
The broader service of this School to the community is that of fitting students to take their places in the world, as forces that
THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 11
make the lives of others more interesting and bappier than they might otherwise be. Its benefits have a much wider spread than jusTt a training in agriculture. It is a center for the diffusion of general knowledge that enables the thinker or skilled workman to solve his problemis in any endeavor. It sends forth physically and mentally fit men, who are able to qualify as good citizens and who better understand life and human ways.
Therefore, and with no intention of indulging in complacent self-satisfaction, I contend that we merit public support in o-ur purpose to further the progress and welfare of worthy lads who cannot afford to enter an agricultural college.
Agriculture Holding- Its Own
Notwithstanding the abnormally low price of wheat and cotton, the former Chairman of the Federal Board, one of the best informed men agriculturally, claims that farmers are still solvent. He adds that only half our cultivated farm land is under indebtedness ; that agricultuTal conditions are more favorable than those of industry, including railroads and other large corpora- tions.
American farming is not bankrupt. Certainly, farm values have decreased, so have tlie values of merchandise, stocks and real estate. Farmers are not starving. They are buying just as many automobiles as bankers and business men. One-crop men and those refusing to apply business m>ethods to farming will meet with difficulties. Nevertheless, many farmers are prosperous as times ago. They study soils, markets and world crop reports. They manage their farms on commercial lines and are in a posi- tion to make profits from what they grow.
When depression hits business, millions are thrown out of work, many become dependent upon charity for subsistence. Economic and social changes, too, have their effect upon the lives of American families. Improved machinery, new inventions, in- creased effijciency in busuiess and larger productivity greatly affect labor conditions, causing increased unemployment. More women and younger men are now working. The 1930 census shows a smaller proportion of men employed, whereas the per- * eentage of women gainfully at work is greater. The rapid in- crease in the use of machinery and rising standards of education account for much of this trend. The services of persons of middle age and beyond are less in demand. This brings insecurity and discouragement.
12 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
Farmer Self-Sustaining
The fariwr, on the other hand, is self-isustaining. He does not share all the burdens of city life. The family that makes a home on the farm with diversified crops, fruits and cattle, suf- ficient to meet its daily requirements, finds that farming still offers a healthy, happy and independent living, even though not always practicable to employ a large amount of machinery or cultivate extensive acreage. The great progress in transporta- tion, improved country schools, commercialization of amusements, electiricity and labor-saving devices, all tend to make the farm home more attractive and liveable. The bread line is not a fea- ture of farm life. Surely then, the farmer of whose economic woes we hear so much is far better off than the many city workers
out of a job.
Farm School Not Endowed
I wish to take this occasion to thank the generous friends, patrons and trustees of this Institution for their support and courage in carrying on "as usual" during the past two years of economic depression. I do not hesitate to recognize the value and vision of service for others back of this, at a time when most institutions have curtailed activities. Nor do I fail to appreciate their unselfish devotion to the welfare of the j-outh of America, based on the belief that "There is great good in every boy." We, therefore, make this earnest plea, for your continued liberal sup- port.
Like others, dependent upon public support, our income has been greatly reduced, neeessitating the depletion of a limited resierve fund. With returning prosperity and faith, we feel as- sured our eontributors will help restore this capital, invested in such a worthy cause. The National Farm Sehool, a Jewish con- tribution to American agriculture, offers its scholarships to de- serving boys, irrespective of creed, from any part of the United States. By energy, determination and persistence, encouraged by your help, we are optimistic as to the future welfare and success of our endeavor.

THIRTY-FIRST CLASS GRADUATED March 22, 1931
The student" body of The National Farm School assembled in Lonchheim AnditoriTim on the School campus, with parents and friends of the graduates. Faculty and Board of Trustees and other friends of the School, to witness the graduation of forty-five mem- bers of the Senior Class on March 22, 1931,
The School's diploma went to these young men who had, by reason of three years' meritorious effort in general and ispecial- ization work, passed the School's requirements for graduation.
The Class was notably represented by Jack Goodman, of Paterson, N. J., who offered the Salutatory; and by Carl Cohen, of Los Angeles, Cal., highest scholarship student, who delivered the Valedictory. The Presentation of the Hoe, symbol of the School, was made by Marcus A. Groldman, President of the Class, to the President of the incoming Senior Class.
The Presiding Officer of the Day was Mr. Louis Schlesing''er, of Newark, N. J., Chairman of the National Board of the School. The speakers in)cluded the President, Mr, Herbert D. Allman, who, in a timely address of encouragement to the boys about to leave the shelter of the School, exhorted them to hold fast to the ideals which the School endeavored to foster in them. He re- minded them that "upon the development of the life in the country rests ultimately our ability to continue to feed and clothe the Nation." Continuing, he adjured them "to surmount dis- couragement and stick to their chosen vocation, if they love freedom and would know eventual independence."
Dr. J. P. Lipman, Dean of the Agricultural College of Rut- gers University and Pirector of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex- periment Station, who delivered the Graduation Address, gave a comprehensive picture of the ultimate outcome of agriculture, scientifically pursued. He said that "agriculture is furnishing, to an increasing extent, raw materials for manufacturing pur- poses. There are many plant products which are destined to play
16 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
a greater role in our industries, through the unending sphere of experiment and discovery which is opened to the scientifically trained farmer."
Prof. C. L. Goodling, Dean of the School, aAvarded the prizes and diplom^as to the graduates.
Prizes for the best project work were awarded as follows: General agriculture, James H. Saltzgiver and George W. Gris- dale, Jr.; farm mechanics, Richard Polakovich and Warren R. Moysey; horticulture, Benjamin Zeider and Bernard Gayman; poultry, Edward N. Frankel and Benjamin Levine ; landscape. Jack Goodman and Ronald D. Keiser; dairy, Michael Hociak and Marcus Goldman ; floriculture, Lee A. Werst and Morris J. Smith.

THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 19
FOUNDER'S DAY
Sunday, June 7, 1931
The National Farm School sets aside annually the first Sun- day in June as Foundeir's Day, to honor the memory of the Founder, Dr. Joseph Krauskopf.
The event this year occurred on Sunday, June 7th, and marked the Thirty-fourth Annual Spring Festival and Tree Dedi- cation Exercises. Some 3,000' friends and patrons of the School participated, and enthusdastically inspected the fine buildings dotting the spacious campus, and the 1,200 well-tilled acres. Farm School never fails to impress the visitor to its grounds with a sense of the fine purpose back of it, with the ardor and vision of its Founder and those who have succeeded him, with its loyal Faculty, and the manliness and sincerity of its earnest body of students.
The exercises were held out-of-doors, in a beautiful grove, overhung with fine old shade trees. Mr. Harry B. Hirsh, of Philadelphia, Honorary Chairman of the Board, presided. Presi- dent Herbert D. Allman, in a constructive and timely message, stated that "The National Farm School stands a living monu- ment to 'Dr. Krauskopf 's memory." Referring to the struggle against economic forces, he declared that the country at large "would emerge with unshaken faith and with renewed confidence in man's capacity to overcome the temporary obstacles and set- backs that now seem to impede our progress." The problem over which he expressed concern was that of having to turn away disappointed, hundreds of worthy boys who cannot be admitted because of the School's limited funds.
Mr. Benjamin H. Ludlow, of Philadelphia, civic and philan- thropdc leader and a brilliant orator, gave the Founder's Day address. He spoke of the many contacts he had had with the School's Founder, in. various communal causes. He declared that the essential teaching of Dr. Krauskopf was that thinking of othens is one of the finest things man can do, and that the found- ing and upbuilding of The National Farm School, where worthy boys are given a most wonderful opportunity to help themselves
20 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
—to make something of themselves — is in line with that teaching — with that ideal of thinking of others.
x\ portrait of Dr. Krauskopf, painted by Mark Raditz, of Philadelphia, and presented to the School by President Allman, was dedicated in a beautiful and fitting tribute by Miss Harriet Sartain, Dean of the Philadelphia School of Design for Women.
The Tree Consecration Address was delivered by Dr. Nathan Krass, of New York, who^ reminiscently spoke of many charm- ing incidents in the life of the Founder and in the upbuilding of the School. Then in a meditative and feeling address, Dr. Krass dedicated the Festive and Memorial Trees, which had been planted and inscribed in the names of prominent living and de- ceased friends of the School.
A special tribute was offered by Mr. Alfred M. Klein, of Philadelphia, in honor of the eightieth birthday of Mr. Barney Selig, a Trustee of the School, and in memory of his wife, Alice K. Selig, who had recently passed away.
Special tributes were also paid to other outstanding bene- factors of the School Who had passed away during the year, among them being: Mrs. Morris Lasker, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Straus, Dr. Joseph Silverman, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Emanu-El, of New York; Mrs. Rebecca L. Krass, of Chicago; Judge Josiah Cohen, of Pittsburgh; and Hon. Ben Selling, of Portland, Ore.
The complete list of trees dedicated at these exercises is published on page 18 of this book. The announcement by Mr, Jos. H. Hagedorn of the death of Mr. Mortimer L. Schiff, of New York, who was an outstanding benefactor of the School, Avas re- ceived with profound sorrow by the assembled audience. A message of condolence was sent on behalf of the entire gathering to his bereaved wife, and to his mother, Mrs. Jacob H. Schiff.
The School Band, under the directioin. of Lieut. Joseph J^rankel, Philadelphia's prominent bandmaster, furnished music for the occasion.

22 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
HARVEST FESTIVAL AND THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL
MEETING Sunday, October 4, 1931
The Thirty-foui'th Annual Meeting and Harvest Festival held on Sunday, October 4, 1931, brought the usually large pilgrim- age of friends of the School from surrounding communities to the institution's' grounds at Farm School, Bucks County, Pa.
This Harvest Festival parallels the ancient feast of Succoth, celebrated in the Hebrew calendar as characteristic of the thanks- giving and rejoicing of an agricultural people over the blessings of bounteous harvests.
The exercises were held in Louchheim Auditorium, which was decorated with autumn foliage and products of the fields, and included an exhibit of fruits, vegetables, flowers and grain raised by the students.
Adolph Eichholz, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Trustees, acted as presiding offieer. The President, Mr. Herbert D. AUman, presented his annual message, which subsequently received large and favorable press comment throughout the United States, both editorially and in column. Mr. Allman made many significant points in sketching the status of the farmer and that of his con- temporary in the cities. He expressed the opinion that the economic success of the farmer depends on his OAvn brain, and brawn, not upon government subsidy nor legislation. Focusing then on the School itself, he gave an account of the progress being made and the work being done in training deser\nng boys for agjricultural vocations. He stressed the broader service of the School to the community in sending forth physically and men- tally fit men who are able to qualify as good citizens and who better understand life and human wiays. He referred to the great shrinkage in the School's income, due to present economic conditions, and made an earnest plea for continued support, in order that the School may continue to function successfully. (The President's message is reprinted in full on pp. 5 to 12 of this book.)
Mr. Samuel S. Fleisher, of Philadelphia, widely known hu- manitarian, patron of art, and founder of the Graphic Sketch Club, was the guest speaker. Mr. Fleisher referred to his work as head of the Food Conservation Committee, the purpose of which is to secure fruits and vegetables, otherwise unmarket- able, and preserve them against the winter for the city's poor.
THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 23
He felt that a study should be made of the needs of the Nation in relation to normal food consumption, and that a means of con- trol to assure the farmer a market for his product and eliminate Avaste should be established.
The Dean of the School, Prof. C. L. Goodling, gave his year's resume of School activities and workings of the farms and de- partments, as well as a kaleidoscopic glimpse of the general healthy state of the agricultural industry in this country.
Concerts by the School Band, preceding and following the exercises, were very much enjoyed by the audience.
The election of Officers and Trustees of the School completed the program. The following panel was duly and unanimously elected : Mr. AUman re-elected President ; Vice-President, Joseph H. Hage^orn; Treasurer, Isaac H. Silverman; Trustees re-elected for three years, Mrs. Gabriel Blum, Harry Burstein, Horace T. Fleisher, Roy A. Heymann, Charles Kline, Elias Nusbaum, Leon Rosenbaum, Philip Sterling. New members elected were Dr. Leon Solis-Cohen, James M. Anderson and J. Griffith Boardman.
REPORT OF THE DEAN
C. L. Groodling
To the TMrty-fourth Annual Meeting, October 4, 1931
It is gratifying to state that the past year has been the most satisfactory in the history of my administration. The general morale of the student body was most excellent. The enthusiasm evidenced hy the students in trying to get the most out of their classroom and industrial work was very marked during this period, so much so that in a student body of 181 there were only 90 scholastic conditions. This, compared to two years ago, when we had 370 conditions, and four years ago, when we had over 600 conditions, shows a very great improvement in the attitude of the students. It is also interesting to note that 46 men in the institu- tion are carrying the 90 conditions, which leaves 135 students in perfect standing.
We can attribute this standing to several reasons, the main one being the thoroughness with which the Admissions Com- mittee makes its selections. Too much credit cannot be given to President Allman who works unceasingly in his investigations of the applicants, in order to find the very best material for our
24 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
student bod}^ Another reason for this lower number of condi- tions can be attributed to the fact that almost 90 per cent, of the present Freshman Class consists of high school graduates. In order that we may be fair to students of varjdng eduoational preparation, the classes are divided for both classroom and in- dustrial work, according to previous training. AVe are thus able to give students wiho have completed high school, more thor- ough and more advanced classroom work, which should make of them better prepared graduates.
The student organizations in the School are functioning sat- isfactorily. Several new organizations have been added during the year, among them being a Dramatic Society, a Glee Club and Debating Teams. These organizations, together with the chang- ing of the fifteen-minute morning assemblies to a one-hour period on Wednesday, at which time we have reports by Faculty mem- bers and talks by students, have added a great deal to the gen- eral interests of the School, outside the regular classroom and field-work schedules.
The student body at the present time is the largest in the history of the School for this same date. Owing to the fact that we had approximately 500 applications for entrance from boys from all parts of the United States, and among them such ex- ceptionally good material, the Admissions Committee admitted 10 more students than our actual capacity. Because of our very careful selection, the number of withdrawals or dismissals has been practically nil.
Several Faculty changes were made during the past year, among them the appointment of Mr. Francis X. Brenneis, a gradu- ate of Connecticut Agricultural College, who had previously been Field Assistant with the American Jersey Cattle Club, to take the place of W. N. McClung, resigned. Miss Jean Bank, a gradu- ate of Bucknell University, was appointed to take the place of Mr. Paul McKown, as teacher in English and History.
We very much regret to report the resignation of Mr. David M. Purmell, who was head of the Horticultural Department for the past ten years. Mr. Purmell leaves us to operate his large farm, recently purchased in New Jersey. However, we feel very fortunate in having been able to secure the services of Prof. L. M. Montgomery, a graduate of Colorado Agricultural College and for the past twenty years professor of horticultural work at Ohio State University, Columhus, Ohio, to succeed Mr. Purmell,

luasmuch as our large acreage, dairies, nurseries, orchards, greenhouses, etc., constitute a laboratory for student work, I feel that a report on the farm activities is always interesting. During the year we rented, for a tive-year period, a farm of 90 acres, which gives us 10 farms, or a total acreage of over 1,100 acres under cultivation. These farms are operated entirely by student help, and never have been in finer condition than during the past year. Much credit is due the various Faculty members for the interest developed among the students in boosting the field laboratory work, not only from the standpoint of more care and beautifying of the farms, but also from that of financial return. It might be interesting to know that there has been a gradual increase for the past five years in returns from our farms, even under the much-talked-of farm depression.
We can also feel very proud of our advancement in live- stock. During the last five-year period there has been a gradual increase in all our lines of livestock, but especially so in our dairy herd. We are proud of the fact that we have at least equalled, ot slightly bettered, the present national record for production of an Ayreshire herd. This, to my mind, gives the best illustration of the thorough training given our students in farm practices. These cattle were handled entirely by students, who had no knowledge, when they came here, of the handling of dairy cattle, and to establish a record such as this is no small achievement.
I cannot close without expressing to our President, Chair- man and Board of Trustees my appreciation of their efficient ad- ministration of the affairs of the institution during the trying times we are passing through. They have never permitted the plant to deteriorate, have always insisted on keeping up the high standard of work in classroom and field, as well as good, com- fortable living for all the students. This speaks well for their interest in the School when they know they are depleting their small surplus, through the deficit which is accumulating each year because of curtailment of income during the present hard times. It is hoped that our friends will stand by us and help us continue the successful functioning of this worth-while institution.

34 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
EDITORIAL COMMENTS ON THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL BY PROMINENT NEWSPAPERS
Those reprinted below were selected at random from among many articles and editorials appearing in the press throughout the United States during the past year:
No Breadlines Among the Farmers
There seems to be a growing sentiment tliat we Americans, of whatever faith, must regain something of those ABC fundamentals that preceded the era of speculation and splurge. It seems to be agreed, also, in most quarters, that agriculture and the well-being of the farmer are basic needs of the economic readjustment confronting this country in common with the rest of the world. With maladjusted rural conditions it is impossible to have a return of sound prosperity.
We feel this pertinent to our columns for the reason that the Jewish trend farmward has been considerable in recent years. No need for statistics ; but the reports of the Jewish Agricultural Society bear us out. It is inevitable that with the overcrowding of the professions, many Jewish boys should turn to scientific agriculture as a career.
The recent Harvest Festival of The National Farm School, at Doyles- town, Pennsylvania, marked the beginning of the thirty-fifth year of that insti- tution's pioneer activity. With a present enrollment of 190 students, it proves the vision of the founder that specialized farming could be made a profitable vocation, relieving city congestion and bringing Jewish youths back to the soil, as of yore in the ancient commonwealth. The Farm School is non-sectarian, and its work in turning out boys trained in stock raising, floriculture, hus- bandry, farm mechanics, fruit culture, soil chemistry and the like has been a real contribution towards strengthening the sinews of our economic life. The record of The Farm School is a proud one ; its influence has been far wider than merely the training of its graduates.
Recovery from the prevailing depression must have, as a concomitant, a preliminary tonic for the business of farming. Yielding a surplus beyond human consumption, more than one-half our cultivated farm land is, neverthe- less, under crushing indebtedness. And still, there is no breadline in farm life. Even harassed farmers are better off than unemployed city workers.
The National Farm School, a Jewish contribution to American agriculture, ofifers its scholarships, including tuition, board and room, to deserving boys, irrespective of creed, from any part of the United States, to the limit of its capacity. Never in its thirty-five years' existence was its work more vital to the welfare of the country than now. Herbert D. Allman, president of the insti- tution, together with his associates, are doing a notable piece of tangible con- structive altruism. — American Hebrew.
Self -Help for the Farmer
Self-dependence of the farmer and the application of approved methods to his business was the keynote of President Herbert D. Allman's address at the annual Harvest Festival of The National Farm School, near Doylestown. Ex-

tended observation seems to have confirmed him in the doctrine that the pros- perity of the American farmer is not to be promoted by subsidies or political nostrums. He must use his own brains and avoid difficulties by abandoning the one-crop practice and employing diversification.
The fact tliat variety has brought commensurate rewards to the majority of farmers in Central Pennsylvania furnishes immediate evidence of the sound- ness of President .Mlman's views. He does not deny that the farmer shares in the general economic depression, but reminds those who stress the slump in farm values that stocks, urban real estate and merchandise have also suffered. Another truth not to be forgotten is that the farmer is relieved of some of the more oppressive burdens of city life. Having an abundance of food, he is self- sustaining.
President Allman has been a consistent believer in machinery on the farm, and one of the principal courses introduced under his initiative at The National Farm School gives thorough instruction in the use and care of machinery. He now points incidentally to the lightening of the labors of wives and daughters by the extending introduction of mechanical devices into rural homes. — Tlie Pliila- delpliia Evening BiiUctin.
A Jewish Aid to Agriculture
An agricultural college, founded by an eminent Jewish scholar, maintained largely by Jewish beneficence, but open to students of all creeds without dis- tinction— this is The National Farm School which is observing its thirty-fourth anniversary at Doylestown, Pa., near Philadelphia.
With an enrollment of nearly 200, the school supplies not only free tuition but board and lodging for its students twelve months in the year.
The recital of these fundamental facts in relation to the school marks it as an institution almost, if not altogether, unique. Even in its inception The National Farm School was unusual. For its original purpose was to turn the thought of Jewish youth to agriculture.
Originally a pastoral and an agricultural people, for centuries the Jews were barred from the soil by the laws of the countries in which they lived in exile. To reclaim their ancient interest in the land as a basis of social and economic well-being. Rev. Joseph Krauskopf, a leader of Jewish thought and culture, gave years of idealism and energy to promoting The National Farm School.
The breadth of its foundation principles is shown through its doors open to students of every faith. The note at the school's anniversary is that despite the crushing financial burden under which so much of the agriculture of the Nation rests "there are no breadlines on the farms.",
A college of scientific agriculture. The National Farm School is a notable contribution of Jewish culture and benevolence to the welfare of the American people. — San Francisco Chronicle.
Facing Our Problems With Cheerfulness
There was much sound sense in the address of President Allman at the Founder's Day celebration and tree planting exercises at The National Farm School in Doylestown. He rightly declared that fundamental poverty was in-
36 THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
consistent with wealth-producing America. He was not exaggerating when he declared that more cheerfulness of spirit and more confidence, patience and courage on the part of the general public would correct unemployment and hasten the return to prosperity and happiness. "In this machine age," he said, "perhaps too many of us are looking for engine trouble, whereas what we need is a supply of good gas." He added : "It is true that we are facing difficulties, but not impossibilities." The day is sure to come when we shall wonder why we ever permitted ourselves to become as pessimistic as some have in these troubled times.
The optimist who spoke at Doylestown was not afraid to make a predic- tion. Here it is : "We shall emerge from the present state of affairs with un- shaken faith in our country's future, with renewed confidence in our own capacity to meet and overcome the temporary obstacles that seem to impede our progress."
It is good to hear from men who have no doubt about the final out- come. . . . We have seen the pendulum swing from extreme optimism to pessimism. Now, happily, executives everywhere are admitting that our prob- lems are not insoluble.
It is a long road that has no turning and we have now reached the stage when hope is taking the place of despair. More and more people are looking on the bright side. It is only a question of time when the majority will feel that the struggle is going to end in victory. This is what we call psychology — mass psychology. Be an optimist and you will hasten the return of the in- evitable.— Philadelphia Inquirer.

Easy Chairs
DO NOT MAKE AN
Easy Life
Home -MAKING is primarily woman's work. It is she who buys the chairs and the lamps and the bric-a-brac which make the living room comfortable and attractive.
But easy chairs do not make for an easy life. If there are many household chores to be done, few are the hours that can be spent in an easy chair.
The modern woman knows that the surest way of creating a comfortable and happy home is to complete household tasks in the fastest and best way.
In her determination to make a real home she first buys electric labor-savers to make housework easy. Then she buys easy chairs !
