CHATS ON EDUCATION
At the Principal's Desk.
THE. SEAFQRTH NEWS,
It has been seriously argued by
wen thinkers that we do not really
know anything tttitil We use It,
'Whether or not the extreme view .is
correct, we . all know that the things
we"learited et school which' we have
not used since, have for the ;;host part
been forgotten.
The child learning a new word, will
attempt to lase bite new word on every i
possible ocoetiea, That is how the
child learns.
To those responsible for directing
the expenditure of poblie fends in ed-
ucation to produce the greatest results
for tax payers, this idea of, using
knowledge is making a very strong
appeal,
Have yott noticed the advertisement
in this paper to the effect tlyat High
School,Boiards and Boards of Educa-
tion are authorized by law to estabiis'h
Industrial, Technical and Art Schools,
and Commercial. Subjects, Manual
Training, Household Science and Ag-
riculture and. Horticulture are provid-
ed for in the Courses of Study in Pub-
lic, Separate, Continuation and High
Schools and Collegiate Institutes,
With regard to Agrictiiture, the
Course provided for is a four years
course, to assist which the Provincial
Government nt would be prepared to
C e
contribute towards teacher's salary
and necessary equipment as notch as
six hundred and fifty dollars a year.
It is true that the major part of
the work included in the Course Tai
Agriculture is already included in the
regular Matriculation Course now be-
ing taught at bite Seaforth Collegiate
Institute.'
But what advantage to have a spec-
ial Course in Agriculture if a good
two thirds of the work covered is al-
ready included ?.
Simply that the ,Special Course in
Agriculture tinder the direction of a
Specialist in Agriculttn•e provides for
the practical work in school garden
Mote, practical work in the way of
hone projects under the direction 051d
counsel of the teacher, and the boy
Wilt) learns something in the classroom
or the laboratory and then, under the
teacher's direction proceeds to use
that knowledge in the garden or at
home has a different attitude towards
th,it knowledge, an altogether dif-
ferent mastery over it from the boy
who learns it as a bit of abstract book
knowledge to be crammed for an ex-
amination and then speedily for-
gotten.
In a Collegiate like we have at
Senforth, with one ;hundred and twelve
pupils out of one hundred and ninety-
three coning from the surrounding
: •w•nships, most of them from farms,
me would think there should be an
insistent demand from the parents.
,specially from those who realize the
great future of agriculture in this dis-
:riot and the need of special training
to keep abreast of ohanging end im-
proving methods for the provision of
the regular Course in Agriculture.
Of course there are difficulties.
There ;would arise -the problem of in-
creased building accomntatiou, anti
maybe increased grounds. But will
you parents not tint begin to discuss
with each other and with your Trus-
tees the question whether the addition
f the Course in Agriculture will not
better meet the real needs and arouse
the interests of many of the boys
growing up in this district, perhaps
preparing .them to become good do-
zens of this district in years to come
rather than citizens of distant cities ?
"Tal: it over. It takes months or
years of discussion to prepare the way
f ,r action.

New Uses For Barley
Until recently the use of barley on
the farm was restricted to the feeding
of live stock, In Germany, however,
barley is used for a multitude of pur-
poses, Millions of bushels earl are
P yearly.
used in the manufacture of .malt coffee
Besides this an enormous quantity of
the grain is used in .the manfacture of
bread, breakfast foods, biscuits, infafit
and invalid prepartions, •tonics, condi-
ments and food preserves, In view of
this. it would seem that bailey

importance in all farm rotations
that may be devised ed with a view to
obtaining some relief tram the weed
scourge.
Canadian Hogs Improve
The gradual increase in the number
of select bacon hogs indicates two
things, namely: better breeding stook
and more attention to rations. Com-
petitions conducted last summer show
that there is a very good profit over
the cost of feed if the pigs are bred
right and have the necessary feeds in
right proportion. Although Danish
bacon still brings a higher price than
Canadian on the British market, the
quality of our bacon is constantly
improving and prospects arc that with
the improvements that have already
been taking place, c g p ace, the time is not far
distant when Canadian bacon will be
on an equal plane with that of any
country in the work. -
With the coming of • winter, fire

Cost of Yearling Heifers
Fifty dollars may be regarded as a
high price to pay for a yearling heifer,
but if she has been reared this far in a
manner to give her proper develop-
ment, this price is little enough, In-
deed, when the costs are all taken
into consideration there is no profit
