Dandeno, B.A., Provincial Director of Elementary Agricul- ture, in which he made a plea ` for greater production. He spoke of the intensive. agricultural methods `of some of the coun- tries in Europe, and compared the yield of 12 to 15 bushels in Canada with Belgium s 40 bush- els to the acre. This intensive agriculture has `had its effect on the war, said Mr. Dandeno. When Mr broke out, we heard it stat- ed `hat Germany would be starv- ed out within a year if Britain's shipping blockade were success- ful. but this has not transpired because the Germans were among the masters of intensive cultivation. Young men leave the older provinces for the west, with its bigger crops from land that is ready for the plow, and the youth of the rural sections must be taught improved meth- ode to change their viewpoint. At one time a farmer was aub- l ,hed a `~`clod-hopper," but educa. . }tion is raising the dignity of ifarming into a highly..special- `ized field of endeavor. Each . country school must be made the ' centre for agricultural educa- ; ltion, and High Schools and Col-li legiates must add its teaching to f their curriculum. School sub- i jects are now too numerous, hut ; agricultural training is one that ; the rural school cannot afford to "1 LIMITED $66.5_(_)J_ The fOl~1l; "i-I-13--(`)VI(`3'("PS were elected for South Simcoe:- (Continued from page 1.) subtle diplomacy, has curried favor with Bulgaria to meet'her own ends--the opening of a passageway for supplies and troops to and from Turkey. At the time Austria annexed Hertz- egovina and Bosnia, Ferdinand declared himself Czar of 'Bul- garia, and in this he was backed up by Germany and Austria, to whom he now is secretly pledged. This throws a curious sidelight on the situation and accounts for Bulgaria's attitude in the present crisis. It is, however, impossible for any man to tell with any accuracy what will hip- pen in the Balkans within twen- ty-four hours. It is not because German-y loves these countries, but simply for the use which can be made of them.

Some suggestions offered by Mr. Day were as follows: Rural teachers should enter into the life of the community, visiting the parents frequently, but on no occasion must a teacher take sides in any fac- tional quarrels or take part in scandal-1nongering. 171101-11 lnnnhnn ..J-..\ ...:_l.... 4.. vuuu auu uuu 1u1' uuu U1` 1161'. Preparing pupils for citizen- shi should be the aim constant- ly efore the teacher, said Mr. Day, who warmly commended the formation of Progress Clubs in all the rural districts As neat- lness is one ofthe characteris- tics of a good citizen, and as all life is but a bundle of habit," the teacher should become a model unto the pupil. When I see a school yard full of weeds, -I take pains to look into the work of that teacher, said Mr. Day. In my inspections I have found more dirty school rooms, yes fty times over,. than dirty houses; The mothers would be ashamed to allow their children to attend if they knew it. This is the fault of the teacher." Ql'\I\ \'t\ nuunn:unnJ~.'.~..... ._[X`.._-_I `L do without. . Though the war has , cut off the supply of mange) seed and- hulbs which were im- ported from some of the coun- tries at war, it is now hoped that this problem will be solved by the production of these seeds in Canada. The importance of school gardens was also em- phasized by\ Mr. Dandeno at the Thursday afternoon session. ` Success or Failure. vWhat`was characterized as one of the best addresses of the session, was that given by In- spector Day of East Simcoe, whose topic .Success or Failure in the Schoolroom," was full of interest from beginning to em}. Mr. Day placed the three car- dinal virtues_ of a teacher as Scholarship, Method, Common Sense," and the greatest of these three is common sense, said he. A teacher `might be efficient methodical and painstaking, but without that human interest and co-operation, which is attained. by: the application of common sense, that teacher's work would not be the success it should be. The teacher should make the pupil a partner, and should en- deavor to have each one work with and'_not for_`him or her. 1'... -21 _ , South Simcoe. ' East Simcoe.
