Current

Amongst those Liberal, literal and metaphorical, defamations of the (luardian during the session, was the frequently repeated as- sertion that we were ‘knocking’ their Agricultural und Technical School. 0i’ course, like their other slnnders this was their own manufacture, the creation of some of their own day dreams of what they thought ought to be. Our stand. however, has been in every essential and detail for the bet- terment or education in every de- partment of usefulness, and in connection with this special school we ndopted the some advocacy. This is the lone chick hatched ou~.-, from o big setting of veggs, by the Department of Agriculture, and we are not inclined to biume tile Hon. iMr. Lea. for doing a lot of clocking over it, provided bs keeps his fuss within his limited brood. It quite often occurs that on old hen will clucir and fuss more over a single “sorub" chick than n sensible hen will do over ll full brood 0f healthy offspring. But when the old hen cnmlncnces to l'Iy at those rwllo merely peep through the fence at its antics it roaches the point either of nullifie- ont or protest. In this sense we suggest to the hon. gentleman slihsr to read our anticies correc- tly. or else let them severely alone.

The Technical ‘School, even as now nsttrbilshed and managed, is not in any sense of the word lost money to the province. it W‘III give, as the Guvernent claim for it. magnificent returns for every dollar of its cost. Nor is their complaint against its teaching staff, which is both practical and efficient. Let. there 'be no misun- derstanding or further misrepre- sentation, either by the Govern- ment or their twisty organ on these. Dillfllfi- But on matters of which we did speak let us be even more pronounced, in the light of more convincing evidence now before us. There are about fourteen thou- ssnd five hundred farmers in this province. From this vast number about thirty or thirty five o! then- sonswsrq receiving the benefits of this special educationz/ is not this trifling with the interests of ai-

new ones en wbll. _Sotisfaotory Mort i1 all lines.

lion of the costs, but receiving ab- solutely none of the benefits? Their answer to this is that, as Mr Len puts it, we can't employ a host of teachers with a caravan of equipment to travel ‘around the country giving lessons to every section oi’ the country. This is simply dluildlng up straw castles to provide amusement in punching them down. No one advocates nny such n scheme, nor have we on our part even dreamed or such foolishness.

Cramming has bcen denounced 'by.the best of the world's educa- tionaiists, in all the general brun- ches of study. Modern, pbilosopy has demanded .more of specializa- tion in nil departments of Educa- tion as "well as in industry. We have even heard a voice rather like unto this from the Hon. Mr. Lea himself, when pleading his pet dairy theories. ‘Now nccord- ing to its prospectus this Agricul- tural and Technical school is de- signed to rget one of the most per- fect cramming systems in the pro- vlnce. 1N0! content with instruct- ing the student in the Iwsl: prin- ciples of agriculture, which silouiti include horticulture, folrrestry. budding. pruning, grafting- soil analysis. inwn and ground‘ plann- ig, dairying, stock’ raising, prepar- lng marketing of produce und sim- ilar incidentals; but. they pro- poso tho further instruction in the mechanical arts to QUALIFY THE STUDENT FOR. CITY A18 WELL AS ‘COUNTRY LIFE. Efficiency can not 'be possible where so much is attempted to be crammed, with- in uofew short months. into one mind. ln each of their depart- mcnts of instruction they have u special teacher who ilna spent many years perfecting himself in his art or‘ science, and yet it -is proposed to inject all the know- ledge acquired by all these differ- ent lnatructors, into the one stud- ent's brains. within the short per- iod of his tuition _in this school.
