PERTH FARMERS
INVITED TO SCHOOL
A Foundation for the Enrichment of
Education recently established in Perth
County plans to invite farmers into
county classrooms.
In a move hailed as "breaking new
ground in education," the Perth Board of
Education has agreed to raise funds and
develop programs to enrich the school
curriculum.
Programs will draw on the cultural,
business, and agricultural strengths of
Perth County.
Board consultant Joe Totaro says he
has met with representatives from the
Ontario Pork Congress, the Perth
County Pork Producers, and the Women
for the Support of Agriculture, who
were "totally supportive and enthusias-
tic" about sharing their knowledge in the
classroom.
Pork producers, he adds, could teach
agricultural management workshops,
genetic research, nutrition, health, sex
education, and the philosophy behind
the agrarian way of life.
The foundation will be in operation
for at least three years.0

From June 30 to September 2 this

ment Plan may use their vouchers for
