Short Course In Agriculture Opens With 27 Students.-.

The twenty-seven students who yesterday entered upon their class- work in the six-weeks’ agricultural short course at the Vocational School were addressed in the afternoon by Premier J. Walter Jones. Minister of Education; Hon. W. F. A. Stewart. Minister of Agriculture; and Dr. L. W. Shaw, Director of Education.

Both the Premier and Mr. Stewart emphasized the necessity of 'tihe young farmers acquiring some technical knowledge without which, they stated. the young farmer could not make a success o! his calling. Both stressed the fact that the course was not ex- haustive but both dwelled on the importance of the young farmer securing some elementary knowl- edge of veterinary practices, field and animal husbandry, etc.. if he were to be in a position to face with confidence the complex agri- cultural problems which. they said. confront the farmer today in much greater measure than in the past. "

Dr. Shaw told the students that the knowledge they would receive within the next six weeks could not but round out their educa- tional acquirements iind thus make them a.iI partakers of a tul- ief‘ and a happier life.

During the morning Dr. Shaw met tihe 00 students who are tak- ing the mechanical courses at the school and addressed them brief- 2y.
