PACE 'wu WHITBY Representative--JAMES HOLDEN Agric ultural Departm ent Added to Whitby H. S. Should Prove of Great Value to Surrounding District-- Course Includes a Wide Range of Subjects -- An. nual' Scholarship of $100 Available Whitby, Aug. 286--The Board of Education of Whitby are doing everything possible to provide a eccurse in Agriculture that should prove of great value to the sur- ounding cominunity. They already ave purchased the Wilson resi- dence and are remodelling it and erecting a large addition to it. This should be ready for use early in September. The work is planned primarily for boys from the country who intend remaining on the farms; and for those who may attend the Ontario Agricultural College. It is a two year course, Those taking it will study English, Arithmetic, History, Geography; but most time will be spent on the Agricultural subjects such as Mechanics, Agricultural Chemistry, Agricultural Physics, Bot- any, Entomology, Horticulture, Api- ulture, Poultry, Dairying, Field and tnimal Husbandry, Farm Bookkeep- ing, and Arithmetic. The work will be made as practical as possible. After passing the Entrance many have little idea what they want to ydo. The purely Academic course leading to Matriculation seems to have no attractions for them and if they take it they will not be as sue- cessful as. they should be. A year in the Agricultural course would be well spent by such pupils whether they intend to farm or not. The government have heen giving liberal grants towards establishing MT] (Or TORT] Jor Indigestion [HEMMER IG CON 10 \ DISTRIBUTOR technical schools to : for the various tra ut until a few years ago nothing had been done to help the boys who had any desire to farm. This was to some extent due "to the Seneral attitude that you cannot teach a how to arm; this is partly true but we can teach a boy from the farm who is interested in farming a great deal about the scientific side of Agricul- ture that should make him a much better farmer; and we can teach a boy who knows little about farm- ing a great deal about Agriculture that he should know and that will be of benefit to him in any trade or profession. An annual scholarship of one hun- dred dollars is available for boys from Ontario County attending the Ontario Agricultural College. ose who have taken all or part of the course in the Whitby High School would stand a good chance of win-3 ning this scholarship, Special instructors will take up work from time to time, and if pos- sible short courses will be put on during the winter, When the course is well established milk testing, germination test of seeds, and other work for the farmers will be carried on. Except for admission to the Uni- versities the importance attached to Matriculation is not so great as it has been in the past. In seeking positions the number of years of suc- cessful High or Vocational School work is now mere important than the holding of a certain certificate. During the past few years a num- ber of schools have started Voca- tional Agriculture in some form and where these have been carried on properly they are gaining in popu- arity. The Agricultural High School at Ridgetown was started two years ago and the attendance has increas- ed so rapidly it will be necessary to make an addition to the new build- ing erected two years ago. Quite a number of schools are starting Voca- tional Agriculture this year. In encouraging the Agricultural students Department the regular Matricula- tion and Commercial courses will in no way he neglected. The facilities for teaching these courses should be better than last year. desire information Should pupils SEPTEMBER A x is the opening of the | Mundy Building Fall Term ~-- AT THE -- Maple Lea Business College Oshawa R.

EBENEZER Ebenezer, Aug. 27. -- Three splen- did services were held at Ebenezer on Sunday last when fairly good crowds were present. In the absence of our pastor, Rev. J. H. Stainton, Rev. Mr. Whiteside, who was with us for two weeks for evangelistic meet- ings, occupied the pulpit. He gave two very splendid sermons which wera appreciated by all, morning his text was taken from Matthew 6:28, and in the evening his subject was, "Service through Sacrifice." The choir rendered suit- able music at both services. Sunday school was held in the afternoon as usual. A special feature of the pro- gram was a chorus by the beginners In the. and primary classes. r. and Mrs. Walter Rundle are visiting with friends in Toronto and are attending the Exhibition. The regular weekly meeting of the Young People's League will be held on Thursday evening of this week. It will be at Rundle's Beach and a corn roast will be held. All interest- ed are invited to attend. Miss Lyla Osborne and Mr. Gor don Osborne had a very pleasant mo- tor trip last week when they motored to Peterboro and many other places in that direction. The monthly meeting of the La- dies Berean Class which would be regularly held on Thursday after- noon has been withdrawn. Regular services will be held at Ebenezer on Sunday next. Our pas- tor, Rev. Stainton, will be back with us again and the regular fall ghther- ings will be resumed. Harvest and threshing of crops in this vicinity is progressing in very good style. Many farmers are thresh- ing their crops from the field and it is hoped that the weatherman will favour them with good weather, JS , wn. ' vr.
