AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS
MOVEMENT FOSTERED BY DEPARTMENT (Special to THE SUN) WELLINGTON, Friday. Valuable work is being done by the Girls’ and Boys Club movement in the primary schools, states the Department of Agriculture. The aim of the movement is not to produce big vegetables. but to foster a scientific attitude toward agriculture. The movement seeks to develop the children along practical lines which later may lead to them studying the question from a scientific point of view. The new syllabus provides for the encouragement of these clubs and they have been approved by the Council of Education. Nevertheless, the development of the club work is primarily the task of the Department of Agriculture, which each year provides a substantial sum for tire fostering of agricultural clubs. The Education Department co-operates to tho extent of providing the services of its agricultural instructors wherever necessary for the supervision of tho work.
