FARM SCHOOLS
CANTERBURY PROPOSAL.
At the last monthly meeting of the Canterbury Progress League, in making a verbal report on the proposed farm school, Mr G'. H. Ttolford, said that in company with Mr Climie he had visited Lincoln College, but although the authorities there were in sympathy with the proposal the difficulties regarding the accommodation for the stu dents were insurmountable at present. It was now proposed to form local farm schools in aofmtry districts. Already the Darfield people had suggested holding such a school.
Mr Henderson said it was somewhat disappointing to have the scheme dropped for this year, but the difficulties had proved greater than expected. When on the West Coast, he considered the possibility of exchange of visits from West Coast’ farmers to Ca-. • terburv, and from Canterbury farmers to the Cohst, so that each could study the other’s fanning. When the railway wlent through, perhaps ‘some such scheme could he given effect. The report was adopted.
