P.TELFORQ éHARP, 30133839 ‘The Agricultural \ Schoolsin Alberta §§§§§§§§WWWEGPQ things that girls By Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture in the Province of Alberta, in Youth’s Compan- ion, Boston, Massachusetts. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ The province of Alberta is essen- tially agricultural, and its govern- ment. early decided that one of its must, important duties was to give the boys and girls who were going'! 1 to spend their lives on farms a: 1 least as good a chance to learn the . business of farming as they'had to‘I study other vocations. “ Hitherto. agricultural education: has been largely confined to a col-i lege. established at. a central place! in the province or state, and so far‘ 'removed from the majority of boys‘t and girls that their 01)}.301‘t11l1ltit‘33‘ for attending it have not been very; good. Alberta has begun by es-i tablishing three schools, one in the southern part of the province, one in the northern part. and the other in the centre of the well-settled |smitten. The object is to bring ed- ucation to the your g people and to make it as easy as possible for them to reach the school from their fathers" farms. lCll.ll\,LL_1 .‘--â€"__.. Tl‘iere are no examinations l‘or‘, entrance to these schools, and no: tuition fees. The only expense that: the students have is the cost of; their board. The schools are es-. tablished on demonstration farmsi each of three hundred and twenty‘; acres. Each has a schmilhouse, .1? live stock pavilion with an agron-l omy laboratory above it, and '11 blacksmith shop with a carpenter. shop above it. Each farm has a? model set of buildings, consisting of a dairy barn, a horse barn, a barn for young cattle, and other outbuildings such as any good far- mer probably would build for him- self. The school operates its farm on a commercial basis and special- izes in the kind of farming that is suited to the part of the prm'ince in which it is situated. The instruction in the schools is . of the most practical character. . The object is simply to teach the ' boys and girls of Alberta how to be successful farmers.

A small part of E: the farm is used' for experimental? 3 but those are only for the! ' certain kindsf of grains and grasses. In the larger fields the instructors demonstrate to the boys and girls what can he‘ done under actual farming condiâ€"t ,tions. In the blacksmith and the! carpenter shop the boys learn to! make repairs and to erect small! buildings, such as they may need on their farms. -._L:.-\n ‘1‘“* ‘f' bllb 11. p“- _.__ __ There can be no question that, u‘ agriculture 15 to be successful m any country, the men and women who are on the land must be con- tented and satisfied with their work i‘ and interested in the things that 14 they are doing from day to day.

Many of them hare been busy helping their fathers and mothers to make a home. and they have not had the advantages of even a goo-J public school education. They are now grown up, and do not care to return to the public school. They cannot. go to the high school. he- Icause they have not passed the en- ltrance examination. Because of trance examination. Because of their lack of education. these your. * men and women upon whose effort the. province depends to a. very great extent. for its future prosper- it}: were, liiefore these schools were established. denied any oppl'n‘tunity of imprciiving their minds and in- }creasing their knowledge of their ibusiness in life. | 'â€" ~ . N 1.71 The average age of the boys at the schools is about nineteen years; If they have reached the time of life. m when they haVe chosen their occuâ€" I’h nation, and they come. to the schools for the serious 1tiurpt'ivse of so in- t’orniiig themselves that they will become. more etlicitfrnt in their wt’trl; Lon the land. Ninety per cent. of the 'istudentS come from within a radius ‘of titty miles from each of the iscl‘mols,-and that is about the dise- ‘ttance that a farm boy or girl is glikely to go from home to attend an i~institution of this kind. ,‘ The three schools. situated at 1 'Claresholm. Olds and Vermilion. :*were opened in October, 1913. Each laccommtiidates about. one hundred ;and fifty students. The whole cost , of one of the schools, including the Tibuildings, the laboratories and the. ~ikitchens. the liVe stock, the imple- '1ments and a full equipment, is only :about one hundred and 'ten thou- isand dollars. Most agriculturrd “100110;;0 plants cost from one to two famillion dt.':»llar:â€"-a~ sum that would 5thuild a good many schools such as ’3 : those in Alberta. The best advertisement that thei schools have had is the boys and girls who have attended them; from idistricts whence only one or two 0students came last year, more and ’fimore are now coming. Indeed, the ‘1 attendance has become so large that e. the government has appropriated *1 ( .â€" 11 1 fit 11 j ‘. ( :5 ‘\ O I G : l l is E money to build two more schools. lllllllll The schools are built near towns = that have a population of one thou- _ sand, but. they are away from the. cities. Piles of brick and stone and expensive equipmentufor the teach- ing of agriculture have never done very much to induce boys to be- come farmers. The whole atmos- _ phere of many agricultural COlleg‘vt: has been such that the boy who lattended had more inducement to become a teacher of agriculture than to become a farmer; the tr ing in many cases has been away from the farm. not back to it. Every boy or girl who leaves one of the Alberta agricultural schools realizes the opportunities that the farm offers for making not only a comfortable but an attractive home, where a man and a woman, with a reasonable amount. of labor and a good deal less worry than the aver- . age city dweller has, can assure ' themselves security and independ- ence in their declining years. ’ In 1915 Alberta established a facâ€" ; ulty of agriculture in its provincial “ university. There boys who wish ' to obtain a degree in agriculture ; can receive a highly scientific training, but no boy is admitted to e the agricultural department of the 3 university unless he is a graduate it of one of the schools; he must have. the practical training first. The course in the schools consists of two terms of five months each; that 'e . . . of the universny is three terms. 75 About ten per cent. of the pupils. the? take the university course; of other ninety per cent. go hack to witheir farms. ! l a in- A? During the summer momma students carry on extensive work on their home farms. One summer there were contests in t - falfa. wheat, oats and potatoes. and three dairy competitions for grade milch cows, in which more than four hundred cows were entered. The instructors also engage in ex- tension work during the summer: at. the call of any farmer. one of them will \‘iSit his farm and consuit with him. The whole purpose ol‘ the plan is to get in touch with the . farmer and his boys and girls anz‘ ,_ to make the way of farming easier better and brighter.
