AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
THE TARAXAKI SCHEME. The Feilding Star a few days ago published the following item:— "A paragraph is going tlie rounds detailing tiie great innovation about to be introduced by the Taranaki Education Hoard in establishing day technical (lasses for holders of prolieicncy certificates. The Wanganui, North Canterbury and Wellington Hoards have heal these classes for years .[last." The Star is correct, to a certain point, but the truth is only hall the train. Wellington, Chrisk'liurch and Wanganui have had technical day classes, but they embrace only engineering, carpentry, commercial .subjects and domestic science, such as might be expected to exist in the large centres. But there are no day classes for technical instruction in the Dominion. Wellington tried to inaugurate such a system, but the number of pupils oll'ering was altogether inadequate. The educational authorities at Hamilton, (lisborne and (Jorc are interesting themselves in the matter, but as yet Mr. Ballantyne is the only New Zealand director of technical education who has actually issued the details of a scheme of this kind.
