Instruction in the A B C of farming has gone far beyond the experimental stage. for the school at Ripley is only one of the 140 in the country where the boys are turned out twiCe a week for some practical work of the soil. Some twenty of these scholars. who had exchanged pen and exercise book for spade and hoe, were at work on a half acre plot adjoining ithe school. Some of them had to be content with ordinary digging. others were carefully preparing the soil, and the more advanced. with an obvious sense of weighty responsibility, were sowing the seed that will provide the test of the term's work. The boys are taught all the processes of the culti- vation of growing plants and how to ascertain the value, by actual demon- stration, of nitrates, phosphates. pot- ash and farmyard manure. "The fathers of these lads can teach them the rough work of gardening," the schoolmaster pointed out. "but few 01‘ them can ex lain the why and the wherefore of things. Many of these boys already know more about the theory of farming than their parents. Although one aim of the school gar- den is to keep the boys on the land, that is not the primary aim. We find it to be an excellent method of cor. relating all the other subjects of ele- mentary education. For instance, the boys are taught the practice of mea- suring, the estimation of values. ob-1 servation drawing. the elements oft chemistry so far as it applies to farm-l ing, nature study, arithmetic. andethe] rewards of industry." This year there Will be 2,600 boys receiving garden instruction in' the county in addition to 180 at evening continuation School gardens . “To a boy properly trained," added the schoolmaster, “there is more money and a better life in farming and gardening than in the town work into which he would probably drift." “You seem to have no ambition," asserted the strenuous‘oue. “But I have," said the indolent man. “I intend to be rich.” The back-tothefarm problem is be- ing worked out in many ways with varying degrees of success.
