must be pinned in a napkin to keep it in

keep them from being disarranged, and
put them away in a cool place for several

5110111' EU3IMIITt COURSE, IN • AG.
It[CULTUItE.
The great majority of the people of this
province are dependent on our Public
nimble for the whole of their secular ado -
cation. They have neither the time hoc
the means to attend a high School, an
Agricultural College, or a University,
With such instruction and training as
they get in the Public Schools, they are
expected to dieoharge the duties of
citizenship and make an honest living for
themselves and their families. Bence
the Public Schools are in some respects
the most important schools iu the
country ; and in connection with these
schools, two things are of the greatest
moment : (1) That the course of study
be the beet possible, and (2) That the
teachers bo fully equipped for their
work,
Tho primary aim of Pnblio School
teachers should undoubtedly be to teach
well the elontents of a general English
ecluoatiob=–to givo'lt thofiongh, exact and
practical course of instruction in read-
ing, writing, spelling, arithmetic, Eng-
lishgrammar, composition and geogra•
pby; in other words, to make all their
scholars good readers, good writers,
correct spellers, good arithmeticians, and
coned, if not elegant, speakers and
writers of English. This work is of
fundamental importance, and nothing
should be allowed to interfere with it in
any Public School. We insist upon it as
the first duty of all Public Sobool teach.
ors ; but, at the saute time, we maintain
that, in this Province at least, there is
also another duty, which, though seoancl-
ary, is by no means unimportant, viz„ to
consider the occupation which most of
our children will follow on leaving
school, and, as far as possible, give them
instruotion, not only in lbs eiomants of a
general education, but else in some of
the principles that underlie eueoessful
practice in the industry by means of
which they will have to earn a livelihood
for themselves end those depending upon
tem.
Two things should not be forgotten :
(1) That farming is the main industry in
Ontario • (2) That whatever improves
the condition of farmers and realms sirens
mors successful workers, benefits all
classes of the people. These aro faote
which no one will question ;' and, be-
cause of their importance, some of our
best sdnoators and wisest Statesmen are
of opinion that the teachers in the Public
Saitools of this Province should, in.
cldentally or otherwise, give some its.
truotion in agriculture and one or two
of the soienoes related thersbo ; should
impart as mnob reliable information as taunt out agricultural pareuits and
do ell in their power to inspire their
pspils with a love for the eimpliaity,
nddependentss and healthfulness of farm
life,
Realizing the importance of this work
and believing Mutvaluableinstruction
in agrioutture may be given by simple
lectures to ohildret—conversations on
soils, plants and •animals—so simple Chet
even the lower climes in a Pnblio School
may understand, so attractive as to
interest the youngest eohotare and of
such a ohareetet' es to benefit all kinds of
pupils, whatever their occupation in after
life—the Hon, John Dryden, Minister of
Agriculture, with the Hearty oo•operation
of the Minister of Lduoalion, has in.

tural College to offer to the teachers of
