AND PRINCE COUNTY CHRONICLE

iiuiiusiiiu

(Continued irogLpggg i!

Mr. W. K. Tibert. Director of V0- catlonal training spoke on the problems which face boys when the drog out of school.

T e social and economic institu- tions have moved alo and for; education behind, ho go,

Years m boys who graduated from school had no dif lculty t,“ finding a position, the speaker said. But today a boy ls not. asked what. he know. but what he can do he continued.

No Equality

There is no equality of education between rural schools and iii-pm schools he said. Education is a cle- velopment of human life which be- gins in the cradle and ends with ife the speaker said.

A firm foundation is built in tho schools and the structure of educa- tion is built on it Mr. 'I‘ibert said.

No Two Alike

No two boys are alike in mental capacities the speaker declared. and R0119 mew-ire to the same standard 0f intelligence.

We must study what nature gave each boy to get the right, kind of n boy, he said.

Education A Tool

"Education is a tool to be’ used in solving the difficulties tn life," Mr. Tibert quoted from a, radio talk hc heard recently,

Our education system has been doing o, good job but was defined to fit n situation which was not as dif. flcult. m; the precnt, he said.

Life has changed completely our- ing this last 40 years and the ti? of training must be changed , Tibert continued.

Must Remain On Farms

He declared that the days of ex- porting brains are gone and boys are not able to get into United Qtates. The must remain on the farms, he sad.

The man who produces the wealth of today directly or indirectly. ‘s the farmer, and the rural picture must be changed the speaker said. —boys must be shown that the farm gag (lie made to bring dividends, he

e .

Education Necessary

The boy who stays on the farm must have education to properly develop it. he said.

The one room school house can- not do the job of correcting the existing conditions. Mr. 'I‘ibert said, but. sections must be grouped.

Teachers Too Young

Girls teaching school in many cases in the Province are y-oung he continued, and adjust- ment must be made,

Mr. Tibcrt doubted the value oi certain subjects such as algebra. Latin, etc, to the boy who in- tends staying on the farm.

He cited an experiment in ed- ucation which is being carried on in a section of New Brunswick where a. school has been erected for the teaching of a course in farming.

Central Schools

Central schools are being estab-

lished, he said, and vocational training is being given in sections of New Brunswick. In Edmundston there is also a town type rot school which teaches an industrial course, he said. and boys are taught for work in the mills. Night sohooh are also be- ing run, he added.

The Woodstock vocational school is a county institution he said. where different vocational courses are given he said,

The former ts an economic ne- cessity in any country. Mr. Tibert concluded.

Rev. Guy MacKenzle, Baokvlile. native of Murray River, spoke on "Cooperation in the Community."

In the body the individual is distinct from other bodies but in the mind they are closely related. he said.

{olunt y Asloclstion

The tnie community depends on the voluntary association 0f the different members, the speaker declared.

If free community must survive it must harmonize with the com- mcn people, Mr. MacKenzie said.

Prof. J. H. Blanchard cited the need for some action being taken to develop better leadership. Child teachers will not bring improve- meiliei, he said.

No Agricultural School

There is no agricultural school in greatest agricultural provinces in the Dom-

mlrgn’ ideal?’ eed t a B C G H I I 11 tlge eduoetlgdg

Mr. J. O. Hyndman spoke on the necessity of taking some action to better the educational problem in the province.

Agriculture Not Encouraged

Boys and girls no being lur in- to the professional field, he sal , but no encouragement ls given to an agricultural course.

The best brains are being sent a- way and the old are left. It would be a lost. opportunity if Mr, Tibertfa suggestions are not acted on, he concluded.

Prof. William Rcddin cited the de- olorable conditions in such a fertile country as P. E. I. and he stressed the need for Government assistance in Agriculture.

Mr. 8. C. Wright, Dept. of Agriculture, IPieldmah, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. He referred to the unavoidable absence oi the Mitrlister 0f Agriculture and his De-

pu .

. W. H. Hayter. High Bank. warned against. discouraging young men from occupyinz farms.

It is better to labour now even ‘tiiioiugh we have small crops. he

Serious Situation

Thousands of our young men will spill their bllod on the battle fields this summer and it is a seri- ous situation but we must face it, he concluded.

Ernest L. Eaton, Supt. of P, E. I. Iillustratiori Stations, said that Canada will emerge from the war a creditor country and the effect this condition would have on Canadian farmers is an uncertainty,

Should Plan Program

Farmers should plan their pro- grams in advance the speaker declared.

Planning the home farm is the firit stspdn Vsprlng, hesald.

" i““ """“ he pointed out how a farm was better divided into a Sllldii number of fields of uniform sire and properly laid out totellmlnate too many fences and Q8 ES

The second point is the matter o! help and equipment the speaker said Machinery huuld be safeguarded against rust and farmers should have enough help and equipment to have crops harvested in time, he continued. One other thing-in- creased beef production on P. . Island -shou d be approached cau- tiously ana any change must be a s.ow one he said. and should be considered carefully. he concluded.

Premier Thane A. Campbell in his opening remarks referred to the dLcussion of Farm rehabilltaticn which took place at the Institute meeting last year and the Govern- melritls promise to inaugurate this no cy.

Farm Rehabilitation

The problem of the abandoned farm is growing in intensity he 581d. and at the last session oi the lmlslature a statute was passed giv- ing the power to institute the POAALy of farm rehabilitation.

131111118 the iptrlng and summer a survey of these farms was conduct- ed by Mr. W. J. Reid of the De B-rt- ment. of Axriculturc staff. an a. report of his findings was submitted to the Government. the Premier

so. .

It was the intention of the Gov- ernment to institute the policy in the autumn 0i last year, he said, but . unfortunately an international cri - ,is arose which upset calculations ‘and the Government decided against instituting the policy.

Policy Abandoned

The purpose of instituting the policy was to create employment for young men who were out of work and when the war broke out it was anticipated that there would be a scarcity of unemployed young men rather than a surp , he explained.

Flor this reason it would be im- practicable to place these men on abandoned farms when their services were needed by the country, the speaker said.

In reference to freight rates on feed for hogs, the Premier cited the efforts of the Federal Govern- ment in instituting on order-in- councll restricting the United States quota thereby protecting the Canadian hog producer.

He did not t ink that any r- manent relief would be obta ncd in Lethe matter of reduced freight ra s.

Mr. J. Walter Jones, M. L. A. told of feeding straw, corn and Urban oats on his f with much success. He stressed e need of a

fertilizer attvhment aitcl drill and suggested a. transportation man in Moncton look after

Maritime agriculture interests He cited the need for an elevator to eliminate the price spread in fall oats sold in the spring.

Senator J. E. Sinclair, cited the case of feztillzcr being manufac- "irsd frc-ru smelter smoke in B. C. Fertilizer sowed with grass seed and clover produces a better leld. This is also true or grain. e said. Farmers have drairy cows to eo've feed situation, Senator Sinclair said.

Feed Coarse Grains

feeding coarse grains it wou d be possible to get along with- out. mill feed, the speaker said.

There is at present the largest hog population in the history of P. E. I he said.

Farmers are producing hogs at a loss in the Marltlmes. he conclud- ed, and they have a right to ask the Government to meet the situ- ation as an emergency.

Mr. J. A Giries. Manager of the P. E I. Marketing Board. said that we are being governed by cabinets of little Gods both here and in Ottawa. He believed that the feed situation would be relieved.

Home Production

Farmers must depend on home production he s11 especially coarse grains and bai-‘ny

Island farms ire not suitable to profitable production of these feeds and we must import, he said.
