It looks to the past for lessons, yet is always ready to break with the past. It never grows old. is land "On the planet we live. From the earth we come; to the earth we re turn. Our relations to the earth de termine not only our sustenance but our institutions. The the seed-bed of society. As we provide to mankind access to the earth, so do we cast the fashion of civilization. "Democracy is an upward and on force its ward movement, deriving individual from the co-operation of It is the ladder of civilization, souls. whereby men express themselves in their own names. The ladder rests on the ground. "I have said that democracy rests on the conditions of daily living. Our situations are primarily those of the planet on which we subsist. The care of the planet conditions our subsist ence. Many persons and classes of persons are directly delegated to the care of the planet, but there is prac tically only one range of people that lives day by day in actual contact of subsistence with This range is the farmer. I shall not gain popular hearing when I say that the farmer is the fundamental in fact democracy, yet before this body of teachers and students in a college of agriculture I must speak the truth. He is the fundamental fact not merely the earth. because he produces supplies, but be cause to him is delegated the keeper- ship of the earth, and to him are we to look for the interpretation of the earth in our civic relations. This is a deeper and much more fundamental relationship than the contribution of any extent of organization, however perfect is concerned primarily with class inter ests. in its constitution, which "Just now we hear much about the farmer's attitude toward the great af fairs confronting us. There is con siderable criticism. All the criticisms I have heard are projected from the point of view of class organization or industrial organization. Yet the far mer must be judged by the place he occupies. Let me give you a formula: "The farmer is part of his environ ment, matching himself into his back ground, perhaps unconsciously, much as a bird is matched, or a tree, or a quadruped. His plan of operation, his farm-management, is an expression of his situation in nature; he has worked it out because it fits. He cannot shift it radically to meet the advice of any other person. As he himself develops in ability, he will modify his plan of operation so far as he can, but the plan always must fit his place in the environment; no great change is pos- sibe unless his natural conditions change; he does not make his condi tions. The farmer exemplifies, in the human range, what naturalist knows as "adaptation." His situation does net admit of compromise, and therefore it may not be understood by teachers, publicists, officials, and, others. the theory "Then can there be no Prussian theory of a governing class and a governed, one superior by birth and divine endowment, which is the antipode of democracy however much such a dominating class may contribute to what for the moment we call "efficiency." The most pathetic figure in the world today is the Kai ser rushing from front to front with his blasphemy and his bombast. It is dangerous to trust so much divinity to one man, and particularly to a man who exhibits none of the humility of a divine mission. "Democracy rests on you and on me, not on the man who holds office. "This demands the highest personal development of every citizen, of every age and in every range. It means popular education. In particular does it mean vivid education in the rural range, which lies so close to the foun dations; and this agricultural educa tion shall be not alone technical but socially informative and constructive. "Education should produce positive citizens. One of the dead-weights of democracy is the negative man, who has no convictions, or if he has them, who is unwilling to uncover them.
