boys farm work as they know it

more disagreeable job all day Sat
urday. They get now a glimpse of
science that underlies the art of
farming. "It is not the hardness of
farm work that makes a boy of

but its spirit -destroying dulness,'•'
A knowledge of the science of
agriculture would not only rob
some of the work of its monstrous
drudgery but would foster abetter
comradeship between parents and
children and that comradeship
would develop into apartnership
that would do away with many (Of
those financial diagreemen'ts
that often occur, and would solve
a great part of the rural problem:
This statement was made in To-

other birds, in our schools, when
we did.not know the birds inour

boys and girls to approeiate the
beauty around them we have rend

love the beautiful is a long step to
loving all goodness and truth. Our
Department of Education is offer-
ing elementary teaching. in forest-
ery agriculture and horticulture
through the Public` School and this,
when permanently established and
materially supported will 'make
much more efficient the course for
rural students. Pupils learning for
ireal life will be eager to get all
they can.
' The attitude of teachers in rural
school towards the rural life ex
Ierts a great influence upon - their
students. Far too many teachers
considers a year or two of teach-

New. regulations issued by the
Depart%rent of Education for the
public and separate schools of the
Province' contain provisions for
medical inspection under the local
School Boards, Under : an act
passed last session the Legislature
gave power to the local boards to
establish medical inspection,
The regulations declare "that
where provision has been made for
free medical treatment of pupils
whose parents or guardians are un
able to pay therefor, the boards
may combine with local organiza-
tions approved for the purpose.
This work is to be entrusted, to
School Medical Inspection Commit
tee, who shall appoint qualified
medical inspectors. Where it is
not practicable to secure a compe-
tent person with the approval of
the Minister of Education ' and
Provincial Secretary the local meds
cal Officer of Health shall perform
the duties of medical inspector, or
failing that one' or two graduate.
nurses of not less than two years
experience in ajldition to the medi
cal inspector school nurses are also
to be appointed. The cost of the
work is to be borne by the board
as part of the school maintenance.
Determination of Visits.
The frequency of visits from the
medical staff is to be determined
by the local board, the regulation
prescribee, but following is a mini-
mum; Ru.•ai school sections, once
a 'quarter; village once a month
towns, once a fortnight; cities
once a week, The inspection is to
be carried on in private, and shall
include a complete physical exam-
ination of each pupil as soon as
possible after his admission to the •
school, tests for sight and hearing.
Examination of heart and lungs
must be over clothing, except in
special cases and where permission
is granted, or in the presence of
parent or guardian. In addition
to this a ,classroom inspection is to
be made every half year.
It is not only the pupils that are
amenable to this, examination,, how
ever, for, in cases where a teacher
or janitor is thought to be fn a
condition which is injurious to the
health of the pupils they must in
turn submit to an examination.
Similiar regulations are made for
dental inspection, and the parent
or guardian of the pupil requiring
dental attention must see that it is.
