AGZRICLr, TL'RE I4\ OUB SCHOOL,
In a narrow sense it is true, that ed-
uecltion is only us: fur to the extent to
- thieh it gives s assistance in the battle
11-
of life: That is to say, from a sternly
j
ractieal standpoint the knowledge im-
parted to our schools is useful in the
precise measure in which it fits the pu-
lie for his life avocation isadoetor,acar-
penter. journalist, a fareaeror an artisan
awe writing ntcr:. Beyond that, he
will, of could', cle1'iyc many eouifforts
frank true knowledge; but it is reason-
able to ammo that his education at
school will have been a failure if it
does not give Idni some direct help in
etiriting hie liveliheae. Martina out
with sueh premises, one cannot fully
eomnlaud the viten' system of edam -
tort c trried on in Canada, for the reason
:parr. it :fords li rlO1n for the direct
seedy tl the lax: * a:i: lerlying the con-
dten of our chef industry -the indus-
try to which !nor. s.;i .ol children must
turn in the lleszlit: ,n than to any other
Reference is ineilo to agriculture.
There h in been al gradual widening of
the curriculum in our schools for ten
or twenty- ,taxa, karst, and it cannot but
rt'•grettel thalt room has not yet been
fount] for a text book on the subject
which coxae under the general heard of
agriculture. It was intimated that the
Outeria flow*runienit would take steps
Ie•1n' y this drawbaelt. but as yet
nothing defiinit;? Iris peen done. Here
tax country in which farlltlllg predom-
inates, and whew n I majority of the peo-
lple• are melting their living, directly
and Indirectly, by the tillage of the soil.
The climate ;and the soil of the Domin-
ion malty it plraicularly suitable for
agriculture, and the day has gone by
when these people can be toldthat ]lard
and ceasIess wi'rk i, the only avenneto
sucess, since it is found that one farther
E:Fesaing ahead of another in about the
clegn ie that lie avails himself of the:help
rhi^li s, ienee puts within his reach.
The welcome and support given our
Erup:!riment:ll farming s1'stem is a
Droef of the readiness of this great class
to utilize the light which that system
is aide to throw on their daily work,
This being true, it is not presumptuous
dD Irrtintain that there is genuine need
Air the cliinge indicated in our schools.
The position which the Minister ofAgri-
cultarze, Hon. John Carling, brought
forward two ye ars ago, and which hu
again emphasized at the opening of the
Canada Central Fair, at Ottawa, a
week or two age.is pre-eminently prac-
tical. He suggested that in addition
to the text book on the subject of Agri-
tlulturc in general, there should be
diagrams and drawings for the school-
Bousa walls respecting such phrases of
the matter as could be so illustrated
One aftarnoon in the week might be
set apart for the explanation of these
object lessons, and for common sense
talk on topics as dairying, plant life,
fertilization, animal life forestry, hor-
ticulture, etc. A. score of divisions of
the subject readily come to Blind, and
there are good reasons for believing
such discussions would tend most ma-
terially to exhault the occupation of
farming, so long and falsely- associated
only with unremitting toil. It is ap-.
oearaiit that as m ttters now star the
boy who leaves school for the counting
room, the store or 1)rofessionalt life,
starts with a better equipment than
does the farmer's son who returns to
carry on the work where his father left
off. This is scarcely fair, and is not the
treatment accorded to school :children,
in Denmark at least. In refering thus
incidently to Denmark,it is not difficult
to.sce the marvellous development of
Danishclairy interests a direct result of
the educational policy- of that country.
It would be so in Canada. Let the
youth of Canada be taught the field
there is in farming for the application
of ge,nesal scientific knowledge and
you will at once vest that work with a
new and stimulating interest. Too
many young men are flocking' to the
eities,either here or abroad, to make
'indifferent clerks or business men, who
would never leave the old homestead
bad they been tang ht the dignity of
agriculture work, This cannot be
done by reading them a nicely worded
essay on the subject; but they must be
taught at school in early life, to know
the why and the wherefor of the chief
operations of the farm. How many
young men know the trees indigenous
to Canada, and could tell the chief nn,-
tie, woods by, sight? In all prominent
rountries,nowaday, Governments have
established: experimental farms, or are
doing so, far the purpcse of giving
direct assistance to the great industry
of farming, and how much greater
might be the benefits following the
efforts of ourOanadian institutions if the
boysand girls of the land were taught
to anticipate the result of such experi-
mental works being a knowledge of
the laws governing the varied work
of a farmer, is certainly calculated to
heighten popular interest in the opee,.
ations of the government officers and
fit eaeh person so instructed to better
utilize his farm possession -the soil, his
live stock` his products, The matter
presses for attention at the hands of
those charged with the direction of aur
educational system in this expanding
Dominion.

or rather then latter, Mr, 1/lal a would
be able to r.suine the only position
which it would be possible for him to
occupy -that of leader of the party.
But remarked Mr, Laurier, the facts
were against them, and he was obliged
to continue to act as leader to the best
of his ability. Indeed Mr, Blake ap-
pears to have given up taking as pract-
ical interest in polities. Although dal -
I, engaged iu attending to bis duties'.
of his profession, he did met put iu ap-
pearance at the Pavilion meeting or
at any of the social
held
in honour of Mr. Laurier during that
gentleman's visit to Toronto' It is
evident that Mr. Blake is sick of polit-
icy and that be finds the work of his of -
lice more congenial than, leading an
unsuccessful and unpopular party. •�+
