I herewith submit my report as Convenor of Agriculture.

We are supposed to be an agri- cultural country. yet less than fifty per cent (50%) of our Institutes returned their questionnaire. It in- dicates a lukewarm atittude to a subject on which our success as a farming country is based.

1. All Institutes with one excep- tion stated that they were interest- ed in “improvement of home sur- rounding." Almost all spoke oi planting trees and shrubs both on school grounds and at home also exchanging seeds and bulbs at their

Better Sdllool Fair:

2. The question of “Better school Fairs" brought a. reply from each Institute which returned a ques- tionnaire showing that it is a live question that has caused much dis- cussion. Many suggestions were even offered for improvement. such as “let the children concentrate more on spelling bees, musical and or-atorical contests. net the teachers explain the why and wherefore of the judges decLsion. Let the chil- dren have garden pots of their own at home and take their vegetables from these and above all encourage honesty. Let it be their own sel- ection. The object of the school fairs is to develop in the minds of the young people a love for good clean honest competition, and to show them much good may result from their striving to win even if their exhibits are not even placed iby the judges.

Madam President, Members of the Executive, Delegates:

It is my privi‘ege as ccnvenor of child welfare to present my first report as follows:.

1935 has marked progress in our efforts. loo answers were received in answer to questionnaires sent out. I find ten Institutes gave very careful study and thought to same.

I have sought to obtain some infor- mat.on along this line from an is- land naturalist he states "the only interest taken in the fauna and flora of our Island Lg such as is promoted the school fairs, and i that is evidently influenced by the , prize list since if there is no mone- ‘ Lary reward, no one bothers with it.

We are living in a. land so beau- tiful it is called a garden. Yet with untrained ears and unseeing eyes we are losing many interesting feat- ures of country life, by not know- ing the wonders by which we are surrounded.

4. According to reports poultry is being given more sttenti in most localities by better method; of feeding and housing. And yet we could all, quite profitably devote more time and study to the trinity of succesful poultry breeding, bred, feed and sanitation.

Poultry stood by the farmer through these depressing years and there was never a time their pro- ducts had to be “dumped" out as was the case with some other farm produce. We could always find a ready cash market, even if the price was small at times. Thanks are due to a large extent to the enterprising men who developed a co-operative system of marketing these products, and to the farm- er, who so staunchly stood behind this venture.

me.

I would like to express my apppe- ciation and thanks to all those In- stitutes who filled in and returned quastionnaires. I find in looking over and studying the repueg thgt, the majority favor Island and Can. adian products such as canned goods, flour, butter and cheese. candy, fox biscuit, fish and meats. twist tobacco, machinery, harness, sine! ale. sausages. products of the Woollen Mills in Charlottetown and Davis and Fraser's products.

First Duty to Province

There is much that we can do in deve'op and encourage such home industries as we have. our llmlo duty to our province and to ourselves is not only to encourage but to patronize our home indus- tries. If we can buy any article of home manufacture at a reasonable cost it is our duty to buy it in preference to any imported article. It is also our duty to trade with our own merchants in preference to those of any other country pro- vidde always that quality and price are as good here as e‘sewhere, Next we should encourage our merchants to place home products on the mar- kets, when it is possible. Let us give them to understand that we wish to deal with our own people, making it plain that we consider P. E. I. products first. If we act on this principle we shall be be- ginning at home. Going to any grocery store on the Island we may see goods manufactured in other provinces, while we have the raw material lying on our hands

Revive Old Industries

fifty of the questionnaires returned were in favor of midsummer vaca- tion. Personslly I think midsum- mer holidays are best for the child and should be general.

Re "l-Ianudicavpped Children" none in our district does not answer the question or solve the problem. On Dr. Acker'; recent visit he examin- ed some two hundred cases. over one quarter of these being first examination and since his coming to the Island his examinations run into the thousands. so handicapped children in one district or next one needs our thought and help when- ever possible.

Quite a large number attended the school closing which was held in the school room on Tuesday. July 30th. The pupils were examined in the different subjects by their teacher, and by their prompt an- swers showed the thorough training which they had received during the year. At the close of the exam- ination the teacher, Mrs. M. Mc- Leod, was presented with a gener- ous purse by Master Stirling How- att, accompanied by the following address, read by Allison McCoub- rey:

Dear Teacher:

It was with greatest regret that we. your pupils of New Glasgow school, learned that you had de- cided to discontinue teaching for the present. therefore we desire to express our sincere appreciation for your untiring efforts in our behalf. on four different cccasions you have been teacher in our school nnd at all times your patience and kindliness both in the school and in your home have endeared you to the whole community. No doubt we often tried your patience greatly but ynu were always thoughtful and considerate. Please accept this gift as an expression of our deepest love and goodwill. Although taken entirely bv surprise, Mrs. McLeod thanked the pupils for their kind act. and assured them that her thoughts would be with them in the ensuing year in their work. and her wish was that they would treat their new teacher as well as they treated her. The meeting then closed with the National Anthem.-

Friends and relatives were shock- ed and saddened when they learned of the sudden passing of the late Erma Gay. whose death occurred at the home cf her sister Mrs. Lelth Mcxinnon, Covehead, on Sat- urday evening.
