A main PROBLEM (Continued)

our unbalanced sense of social mug; Is no doubt responsible for much of the anti-farm sentiment we find among you!!! PC0919 brought up on the land. Somehow W, hgve given them the impression mt farming is somewhat inferior to the so-called white collared lob-S or even to work in the factories. If M coirld correct this false attitude the problem would be on the way go solution with much benent to our economy and culture.

Adolescent boys-and it is they who are especially involved in this ..,.”y from the farm" trend--have m instinctive and natural desire gn get into something which is considered to be really important They may not say so in as many M,-.15, but they hate the thought (.1 bring spoken of as farm hands. Iarni labour, and the like. Give the work a. sense of importance raid dignity, or heroism and ad- l'Cl'l'.ill'(5, all of which it deserves. and there would soon be littl: rrinplaiut about young men leav- ill? '!ir farms.

Vocation

l'liis brings 'me again to the matter of vocation which I men- tioned in my last article. There is no reason why this fine word ' 52:.-iiiid he allowed lo one good work rim; denied to another. Farming ran he a calling and a very high we and certainly there is no kind of work more essential to the wel- fare of mankind. Recently, while visiting a farm 1 family I have known for some i )llr'.l'S I asked one or the boys, a mic upstanding fellow of fifteen or sixteen, "And what do you expect to do after you leave school?" "I'd i like to work on the farm". he told i me. "but mother wants me to be a - . . .....4-O--EO-

doctor". Here was a plain case of u vocation being thwarted. Good doctors are needed. of course. but no more urgently. if would say. than good farmers. This boy. with a definite leaning towards the form. would in all likelihood do well at it. If this is where his vocation lies it would be better for nli concerned if he were encour- aged to pursue it in every possible way and I told his mother so.

Foolish Notion

There is a notion abroad that young men who plan to take up full time farming have no need of any considerable amount of edu- cation. A minimum elementary schooling is all that is necessary. This notion has nothing whatever to commend it. I doubt if it were ever Justified but certainly in these days it is downright foolish.

More and more farming is be- coming competitive business, and the man who has not been trained to think properly. to weigh issues and to make fine distinctions, is severely handicapped. Besides, to be successful it "demands a good deal of specialized skill, some knowledge of chemistry. biology, and kindred sciences.

It is true that many of the more successful farmers in this Provinc- never went beyond grade school. Three were men of exceptional skill and good judgment. You find them in every walk of ill. and they add prestige and do c edit to any trade or profession. But figures do not indicate the many well mean- ill! and hard working farmers who have failed because their meagre schooling had not prepared them to think orderly or to plan well. At the same time. I am ready to ad- mit that no amount of schooling n: any other kirki of training will make a good farmer unless there is 1 natural flair to begin with. The ldealwoiild be to encourage that natural flair in boys who Loom to have it and see to it that they are given the best training within their reach at least through High School. The practice. all ton common. of taking a buy out o! school before he has his diploma. simply because he is to be a farm- er. is a very foolish one indeed. It is not fair to expect the schools to do the impossible. but I believe more could be done than is being done at present. especially in rural areas. to encourage boys to make farming their business when you come to think of it. the scant attention given this import- ant subject in the text books used in our schools is unfortunate. It Is bsund to convey an unfavourable ininression.

I would not suggest that every boy who attends a country school should be considered a potential farmer. I would suggest. however. that the dignity and usefulness of that kind of'work be made known in cvery possible way.-

In A Garden

Here I quote from an address I delivered two or three years ago at a High school graduation exer- cises:

"some of you no doubt in due course will go into the learned pro- fessions. You will become doctors lawyers, teachers, business men. and so on. These fields will al- ways offer many and rich oppor- tunities for service in human re- lationshipe. iiord against any of them. But. since food is the basic need of all men. I hope that some of you will consider the production of it. through due process of farming. as a good way of making a living for yourselves and at the same time help those peoples of the world uho now must endure hunger and

"For myself. anything I have done in that line is purely amat- eurish. and it is too late now for me to learn all the intricacies and techniques that are involved in such a calling. For a young man. liowevcr, who has the-. right kind of vision. courage. and aptitude. I. do not believe there is any trade.- buslness. or profession that offers greater rewards in the things that adorn life as it is lived from day to day. It may be that no one has come face to face with the origin of all that is who has not at some

warm earth and helped tiny seed- lings develop into robust plant or flower. "It is not without significance that the greatest Book of the ages pictures man as having had his beginning in a garden where he i'.i1S commanded by his Creator to find his 'ti'ue destiny in service and thus go on to maturity. The an- thropologists may tell a different story. Their version may appear a bit more logical and much less iv:y:hical. But it certainly does not do as much as the other towards reaching the depths of mysticism uhich in some measure marks the spirit of every child of man.

"Whatever a man may be like in the shops and institutions of in machine made civilization, he is likely to be different in a garden. Th:-re. whether it be a tiny plot or a farm of many acres. he has thr- opportunity,at least, of being what. he was intended to he. a spiritual being at peace in a troublous world."
