The farm people of Eastern On- 'tario will have the opportunity of at- ; "courses of instrucs 'tion given at the Agricultural School, 'Kemptville, during the period Janus 'ary 22nd to February 16th. Courses - have been planned to accommodate those who find it impossible to attend the regular school course. The same 'instructors do the teaching and the "game illustrating material is used in class work as is used in the regular classes, but the subject matter is con- densed to suit the short period of in- struction and the demands of the spe- cial short course student, Some out- side lecturers assist with special lec- tures, bringing both variety and ex- perience to the teaching. The short . course does more than impart infor- mation by lecture. When farm people get together, experiences are ex- changed in conversation and bits of information having a direct bearing on farm life and work are broad-|{* casted. The getting together to talk things over is a valued feture in Short Course instruction work and adds much bo the store of knowledge of all those taking part. The Household Science course given February 6th to 16th is divided into three lange sections: Cooking, Sewing and Home Nursing. The large sub- ject, cooking, will receive thorough treatment ih lectures, practices, cook- ing and baking demonstrations, with special referénce to food materials always available on the farm. The Home Nursing course is de- signed to enable farm women to easily obtain the Knowledge of how to care for sick in the home, what to do in an emergency and how to do it; how to vender at all times the best possible assistance to the doctor or the nurse, where her services are necessary.! details of gasoline engines, etc Classes will be divided into groups of convenient size to perform the prac- tical exercise cond each after- noon. This course should enable it, to improve their knowl-|! edge and experience to such an extent as to be able to economically operate or repair farm engines.
