BOYS ON THE FARM. Agricultural Education in the Common Schools. THE TEXT BOOK SEQUIEID, his boy if taken ia time. It is a hcpeleu task to endeavor to convince the {arm matroa3 of Ontario that their methods of making batter are defective, bat their daa^btera may be e&aiiy convinced if taken yoacg.

MISI8T!;?, Dauaya SESSiBtE ideas. The twenty-eighth convention of the Ontario Teachers' Association waa con- claded vtsterday afternoon at the Normal School,' Toronto. The President, Mr. J. H. Smith, o.-catied the chair. The fi)Uo*in(; offioera were elected for the ensuiLij %fcar: President, R. McQaeen, KirkviU ; itccording Secretary, K. W. Doau, Toronto ; Corresponding Secretary, D. H. Hunter, Woodstock; Treasurer, W. J. neniiry, Mimico. The President introduced to the conven- tion Mr. Tiiomas Shaw, Secretary cf the Central Farmers' Union, who read a paper on •• A.4ri:ui«are in Our Rural Schools.'' After to:;.piiiuinn that agriculture was no! taught iix ihe public schools, Mr. Shaw went on to ipeak of the coming text-'oock on the subject, dealing closely with what it should contain. The following are the prominent thoughts advanced In the paper: The reasons why agriculture baj not re- ceived more attention at the hands of our educational authorities are not far to seek. It has been sought by those who need it most â€" the farmers, ilitherto they have been bo largely absorbed with the work of removing physical obstructions on their farn:s, ana gJttmg bread and batter for their families, that they have not given due attention to the nature of the mental food thev should get at the school. They have not clamored for the introduction cf an iigri.ultural text-book, or it would have come long ago. They have been content wit';; bread when they could have had the butter for the asking'. This Province has manv thousands of Common Schools, and High SchxiU by the score, and these are not toj mauv, 'and yet it has but one schocl virtualiv where 'agriculture is taught. Though the Guelph College were brimful of students, only one farmer in 1.-500 could send his son there. The sons of the 1,4'.'J must go without instruction in what is to be their future life-work, or get their instruc- tion at houit^â€" a sweeping rejection this on the ignoble content of the farmer. Thus it is that the ibwer cf rural commuiiiiies are drafted away into the cities, thit in the governii:g voice of the country the farmer gets a pUce amongst the thirty rathertnan the i::»t three, and that in the social scale he is pressed tightly against the wall. We are v.ithoat a teit-bcok. Why .' Book- making is a good deal of a trade. It is largelv governed by the law of supply and demand. Now that farmers clamor for it. it will come. The old national series of school books come from Britain. A book adapted to the wants of Canaaa cannot come from Britain or any country but Canada. The soil of Canada forbids it, the climate of Canada forbids it, and the honor of Canada forbids it. It must be written by a Canadian. The reasons why the study of agriculture should be introduced into our rural schools are not far to seek. There is tirst its relative importance to the farmer, whose children almost exclusively lU the forms of rural schools. It is to him both meat and drink, and clothing and monev. It is the steed he rides from the cradle to the grave, and the funeral car that convevs him to his last resting place. â- Whv shoul'dn't he be taught this from his earliest infancy .' We know of no study so well calcnlateil to stimulate the perceptive facoltiea at a tender age as the study of agriculture. Then there is its relative im- portance to the whole community. The prosperity of every one is largelv bound up with that of the fa'rmer. The number of the spokes in every wheel of business, the number of wheels and the number of revolutions are largely determined by the success attend- ing the operations of the farmers. About two-thirds of the populationof this country are farmers. I believe they own more than two-thirds of its property, and they furnish more than two-thirds of the brains that stock the professions. The part they play in the commonwealth is nearly all in all a two- thirds' factor, and therefore they are aurelv cntitleei to a two-thirds' considera- tion at the hands of oar educsitional autho- rities. A bov who, to the practical training he gets at home, adds sound theoretical in- struction from a school text-book will beat the bov at farming who has only the tirst. Whale'ver, then, tends to improve farming should be countenanced by the whole com- munity. k TBXT BOOK SEOE*S-VKV. There is no doubt in my mind as to the best mode of introducing agriculture mto our Common Schools, though I am not so clear as to all that the meilium of instruc- tion should contain- It should be intro- duced through meausof a text-book worthy of the name. I do not in the meantime favor the erection of any additional schools of agriculture, bat I do favor the wholesale ntilizing of the rural schools we have for teaching agriculture. When this u done tiie want of departmental instruction in the higher schools wUl force itself upon public attention, and these for the time being will become nurseries for iheAgricul- taral College.

I do not know who the writer of that text book will be, but I can tell you, aa alreadv more than hinted, that he will bo a Canadian, and I may add that his hands will bear upon him the marks of hard and honest manual toil. As to the style of this bock it wiU be written in the plainest Anglo-Saxon, its language so simple that a child will understand it, and in so pleasing a manner that both young and old will love to read it. It will be rather under than over scisntitic, bearing upon its every i^age the stamp of the intensely practical. The strong meaJ '-: science is rather for maturer minds, inough, if finely minced, some of it is good for children. It is almost impcssible to con- vince the average farmer of Ontario that a cattle beaat, during the first year of its life, when properly fed, w^ill g;iiu two pounds of llesh p-,>r day on a less feed ration as readily as it will gain one pound daring the third year of the same. But there will be no difficulty in convincing It will their formation, composition, and more especially the crops they are best capable of producing, hence the tjle of farming to which beat adapted ; w.J give the di3erent modes of draining, and the benenis that follow when this is properly and jaii- cioualy done ; also the modes 3I tillage most saitabla to them, noting m a general way the allowanoea to be made for the class of farming adopted, whether mixed or special. It will treat of a rotation 0! crops, havin.; a due regard to variations of soil and subsoil, the disturbing inriuecces of climate, and th-j resources to which recourse mc.^t 'oo had when tnis rotation i3 interfered with, through lack or excess of moisture, snow or frcs:, caasin:; failure to one or a number of crops. The principles that underlie successful farming will be made prominent. Here we refer to adapta- tion of animal and plant life to locality, having reference t-o market facilities as well as to sustaining them in an ever in. creasinij vigor ; the proper at'li.:ation of labor and labor f-^icilities. and the great wisdom of being forehanded in everything. It will include the wide subject of ferti- lizers, and the deep subject of ths princi- ples of feeding animal and plant life. The right treatment of this section will throw nrebrands iato the scrub stock system, and thin the rankj cf land robbers, who are ruining the agriculture of our country, and it will slay the intruiing weeds of Canada by the hundreds and the thousands. There will be a rilillEE OM v-LEli and insects, their habits and the best mei.ns of destroying them, with plates of the moat .iangerous of the intruders.

The farmers of this country are soon go.ng to ask that agriculture be taken down from the shelf in our High Scho-^Is and given a place among the first three, and when they ask it it is going to be done. But it is infinitely more important to get it first iato the common schools, where the masses may be reached. When these get into the fairyland region of agricultural atady they will extend their explorations, whi.'h shall soon reach the higher sch'Ools, where their hanger mast be minister-.-d tmto. 1 zTisriisM-U. aE-jvt-ilux?. la the general directions of the depart, mental rei!ulations I and the following in reference to the use of the authori.:ed text- book: 'â-  Special attention should 'o« given to such pointa as how plants grow, and what they feed upon, how farms are beau- tified and' cultivated, the value of shade- trees, what trees to plant and when to plant them, the relation of agriculture to other pursuits, the ejects of climate on the habits cf people, poetical selections on rural subjects ; talks on natural history, should form part of the instruction of every I'riJay afternoon." I don't know who wrote those regulations, but with tdl due deference to the gentleman 1 fear he was a " book farmer." It is very well to know '• how plants grow and what they feed upon, " and something of this should be embodied in the text book. Nor is it unimportant to know how to beautify farms, but leas so than to know how to make them profitable. The relation cf agriculture to other pursuits is not of little moment, but the study of it is certainly better adapted to maturer minds. " The electa of climate en thehabits of a people might prove a profitable study for pupils ia the High School or the Agricultural College, but it is surely more important for young persona to know the effects of climate on the habits of plants by which life is sustaine..!. The poetical selections on rural subjects 1 would relegate to the farmers' wood fireside, and leave the " Talks on natural history " as part of the Friday afternoon exercise. In the compila- tion of our text book it should never be forgotten that the large majority of those who study it will never attend a higher school, and th»refoie the overwhelming importance of having it fiUe^i brim-full of knowledge that is intensely practical. ooNCLrsiox. It ia quite possible that all the land- marka that fix the limit of its claima upon other classes may not be very easily iwiuted out. That agriculture has claims upon the favorable consideration of the whole community has already been shown, but the extent of those claims haa not been defin^^^. The forest of the visioi: here is so thick with underwood that I frankly confess I can scarcely see the light on the further side. .Vgriculturo in Canada is un>iue3lionably the first mustard tree, and the fowls thai'repose in its branches should be encouraged to do so, but how far th;y should be compelled to eat of its fruit ia an open ijuestion. The lawyer of the city might not wish his son to sjvnd time in the study of agriculture, while tho member of the school board might choose differ- ently ill the case of his sou. Bat the ob- scurity that hangs over this part of our aul<j-.v will be dispelled before the advanc- ing li. t of the expression of public opin- ion, wiiich will ultimately make known the desire of majorities, as to how far the landmarks that mark the limit of the use of this teit-'oook shall extend. In the meantime let us have the book at the ear- liest possible moment, and may it be a worthy foreriumer of a magniiicent Cana- dian agricultural literature tiiat is yeS to be. Han. CIiarlM Dmrj, Mr. Drury, Miniswr of A^coltore, who came in while the paper w»a being read, was called upon to address the aaaociation. Ha said he had come to the conclusion that there was something wrong in the system of education in looking as the eSect produced upon the yotmg men who pass a step beyond the Publi: S:hooL3. He regretted to state that the young men who attended the Hig'n S;hools, Collegiate Institutes, and universities seemed to be imbued with an idea that labor with the hands was undignified and unbecoming to a gentleman. The result had been that those who had been Ixiked forward to as the hope of the future of agricttlmre ia this country had gone into other pursuits. There 'had been a m-;asure of disappcial- ment in the effect which education had had upon th^ tistea and inclinations of the v'ang i_en. He- had aiw-ivs locked forward to the tim-; when the farmers of this coantry would be well eduo-ated men in the broadest and moat liberal Sense. He Saw no reason why the fanners should not a;::: to •-â-  iucate th-.ir children, b It he hid knjwn many instance's wh-.-re. after fartn.-rs iiai had their sons educated in the high schools, th-.y ref ;5<.i to return to th--- farm. He did not know where the fault lay. but this was a great niattor of dis*pp.?int:i>jnt in the educational syateni. If the iatroductica cf a text "000k upon the subject of agri;iiiare would luer:: the cas-.- it would be a 'oocn to the country. A'.l of tce professions were at prvstnt over- crowded. Canada could furnish unlimited means f.v the employment of tens of thousands of our b-it men in the i-.il of agri.-ultare. T'nere ^as a feeling abroad that f jr a man to spend his life upon a far;:-; was '.o " waste his aweetaess on the Oeseri air." and that if a man was in pos- session of saiicieci means to snend his life as a gentleman faru.vr he ceaseS to be a gentleman when he is obliged to work with his hands. He had cn.e heard a clergyman say that h-i ;:»d been a farmer, but that he had got above that s«rt cf life. . Laughter ) lie was not sure bat that the same gentle- man would have been a better farmer than a preacher. Whatever could be done to promote a better ;udgment as to the true dignity of la'oor. and whatever could be done to e<iucate ?ur yoang men to believe that there is a field of usefulness f^r them upon the farm would be a lasting benefit to the commanity.
