SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Feb. 24-th, 1893.
T . eaching Agricult,tire In The
Schools.
ROD. John Dryden, Ontarlo's Minister* of
Agriculture, delivered a most excellent,
practical address last week before the Cen,
tral Farmers' Institute. Among other things
he dwelt upon the undue numbers of our
young people, male and female, who are
leaving rural life and rural pursuits for resi-
dence'in the towns and cities, where they
find themselves, too late to turn back, our-
rounded"by many uncertainties and difficul-
ties. Mr.Dryden asks "can nothing be done
to stem this tide ?" He answers: " I think
something can he done,") and here is the
I scheme which he proposes, and which will,
no doubt, if it can be carried oA, have
some result. He says,: I
I would like to tee in all our common
schools an effort made to change this mis.
- taken ientiment. I would like that even
the youngest child of these schools should
. hear omething about the attractions and
ditie: of . rural life; about the importance
and dignity of labor, And about the honor
I which 'may *come to a man who excels in
I agricultural pursuits. The first step . to
,
i : brIn about results in this direction is to
prolde properly equipped teacher@ for such
.
f a work. - This undertaking the Government
bave decided to commence at, once. It is
. proposed to open a summer school at Ouelph
darir,g the summer holidays to whtch the
teachers of our rural schools will be invited.
. .
There will be given a series of 40 or 50 lee-
, tures on subjects appertaining to agricul-
I ture, including chemistry, botany and geol
ogy, Dot with a yiew of fitting them in that
short time to teach technical. agriculture,
bat to prepare them to give a acries of popu-
lair talks to the obildren on plant and auimal
life, nature of the soil with -special reference
to their irnmedij%to surroundings, and other
kindred Liubjects which will i3aturallv prp-
"
sent themi,61ves in this conn.ection. No n d-
ditiorial sabject will' be placed up ,n the
L School curriculum, which4e already fully
'1 1
loaded, but the teachers will be advised to
I take up some Of these subjePtE, say- on Fri-
day afternoon, a Part of wh ch is siow tisual-
ly devoted to readings, reci,tations, ete'. ,
The success of thelwork will naturally de-
pend a great deal tjp`o u the &kill and tact
of the teacher, but it seems to me that the
subject -May. be SOL presented as to interest
even the -smallest among the children. ; I
. think it is possible in thlSL Way to turn the
attention of the children to the beauties in
nature all around them, as Also to, the possi-
bilities of rural life and pursuits. They will
thus early in. life see in their own home
. gardens, the fiells and waysides, p6ttractions
which have nexer been seen before. A-
.
they grow up they will want to know more
. of these subjects, and thus A demand will

I
. , - thus commenced.
This scheme is but a bommencement - f
this work. It may not be the ideal, but the
expense of it to the country will be an small
,Ahat it appears to the government to be
,! worth testirig. Shoruld the' teachers make
&a good use of it themselve ' s the next few
.. years as they may, I think I can ,prophesy
that within the next ten years you will find
that instead of the brightest and best of our
young people making haste to the city, they
. will, be turning their attention to those
studies connected with agricultural pursuits,
which will in 'the end givb an impetus to the
. prosperity of this country as never before
. existed. -
At, the conclusion of this course it is pro-
posed to have a short examinatiou, in con-
nection with which a certificate will be
granted which will give school trustees an
ides of the attainmento of the teacher in
this regard. I apprehend that Pi teacher
who is successful in presenting these sub-
Jects will be worth more than one who has
paid no attention to them. The cost of all
this to the teachers themselves will be
teivial. It may be found becesiary to iM-
pose a small fee for the payment of the pro.
fossors, who 'Will be engaged during a por-
.4
tiou of their holidays in this work, but
I there will be no expense beyond that,except
,
.j the ba,re cost of board, which will be fur-
nished to those who can be accommodated at
0
the college at oost—say $2,50 per week.
The scheme proposed by Mr. Dryden is a
I
good one and no doubt in time it will be,
productive of so -me good ireaulte,as it can not
Jail to have a tendency to create in the
minds of the young ruraliBts an increasel
.
love for country life arid country occupation,
as the more a persorf kiiows about their
calling and the more. efficie ILt they are in it,
. the greater love they are a,pt to have for it.
But, Mr. Dryden's remedy close not go to
the root of the evIl by any ., means, One of
the principal reasons wh1oh induce youn
9
people to leave, the farm is that farming has
.
become unprofitable. The 1great burden of
taxation under which fairmere now labor
must first be removed,beforo- it can be made
either profitable or popular. Mr. Edgar in
his speech in Parliament the other day
shows how one combine, th6 cotton m&nu-
facturers, is permitted by 1aw to extract
.
-
four mill -ions of dollars a year from the
pockets, mainly of the farmers and working
I
-
people, and this i . s only one sucker of the
many which Are dr iniug the life blood out
of the agricultural classes, Herein lies the
primary secret of the grellit rush from the
. : ,
country to the towns. Wnd -, bities, Let all
'.
. those suckers, or "on thd most greedy of
I
them, be lopped off, iind thu§ give the farm --
r ,
er an opportunity to:enjoy the full fruits of
his, labors and there will be less cause for
complaint about the boys and girls desert-
, jug the - farms. Let f Arming be made as
profitable an other callings, as it is now more
L pleasant than most, and its attractions and
advantages will win plenty admirers, Edu-
cation, as M't. Dryden, proposes, will help,

" And whereas such manufacturing h

"And - whereas the Canadian Manufa,
