BOARD A wouu) BE HELP To AGRICULTRE l AN1UAT,'MEEnNc | F. E. Weligtc-3-1`-Ho1ds.That 4 Education Would Be Improved. The proposed township school board bill was one of the subjects discussed at the Trustees and Ratepayers -Association convention, held at the B.C.~I., Nov. 3. Speak- ing for the proposed bill, F. E. Welb- ster contended that it would make for decreased co-sts, higher effi- ciency in the schools and develope along educational lines that would benefit agriculture and assist in keeping the young pe.`opale- on the team. 1'... h-.+nRnnir.tr 1411: Tn. -\1| (=Y`. `R .

If anyone can siiggest something bet- ter than the f.(=W!1Shlp board he felt` sure the Government W0l.11'3.bF3 glad to alccept it.

Replying to a question from Johnston as to union sections, Mr. Morris said such a section would go into the township in which it is located. John M. Cu-rlrie of Nottawa, known to be opposed to the bill, was in- vited to exlpresls his views. I don't want to take" up time, but I cer- tainly am opposed to the bill," he replied with strong emphasis. More Education for Farmers F. E. Website-r spoke from the point of the necessity of more edu- cation for the farmers of Ontario:" It is irnpossiible for us farmers to hold our own unless we get the pro- per education, he declared. We have to compete with business and p-rofessional classes who have the advantage of us in the matter of education." 4`I:_'I'x~k nn`Ar\n1n Mann van! nu-nvin ` G1lCa1',lOY1." High schools have not provided practical education for the farmer. The environment of high school has a tendency tio drag the boy away from the farm andcauses him to leave it in nearly every instance. Farmers help to build the high schools but have no say in directing their policies. nmnHnnin.a~ fhn unnnlzpvr nninfed tneir p011CleS." `Continuing, the speaker pointed out that farmers want education along three 1ines--technical, scien- tific and cunltumal. With a township unit, they could arrange for spe- cial courses of four or five months of the winter. without conflicting with the farm work, `which would give the young farmer an education that would enable him to compete with other classes. `I ... 7\Vnbn\uvnn.nnpn l`nA nu-\'Innn1 wnfnc jwlln ULHCIC Uluitilh In Nottawas-aga the school rates range from 2 to 13 mills. which ls 7 very unfair.
