Realization that anything but satist'actory results were being se- cured at existing rei`orn1'mtories for b~o,vs, and -the example furnished by the Sh-atwtbrid-ge Boys Farm and Training School at Shawibridge, Quebec, ha.ve been incentives to the Ontario authorities to better condi- tions in this province by the estab- lishment of a Farm School for Boys at Bowmanvillle. Hon. Howard Fer- guson, the Prime Minister, and Hon. Lincoln Goldnie, the Provincial Secre- tary, some time ago visited the Shawbridge institution and were fav- omably impressed by it and its work and decided to use it as a model -for the school to be established at Bow- manville. The reason for their en- tlorsaltion is made all the plainer by an editorial in the Montreal Herald on the work of the school : he Farm School began on a small scale. It is now to all intennts and purposes a prosperous village com- m-unity. I~t.s cottages, `farm build- ings, school, chapel, its live stock, and last. but by no means least, its citizens are an object lesson well w-o~1*.th the study of all who are in- terested in social welifare.

The Government has suupplemenited this gift with a grant from -the treasury, so that the school will be- gin its work on a little over three hundred acres of its own land.
