TEACHING AGRICULTURE.

FIRST LESSONS AT SCHOOLS.

SOME MONEY AVAILABLE.

By Telegraph —Pres* Aiiociation. Wellington, Last Night* A technical schools’ deputation to the Ministers of Education and Agriculture to-day asked that plots of land suitable for agricultural education should be attached to technical colleges.

Mr. Parr (Education), in reply, said agricultural education was rightly emphasised. It was the function of a school to give elementary training that could be carried out in plots of three or four acres, and it was the duty of the Agricultural Department to carry the matter further.

Mr. Nosworthy (Agriculture) said his department had had heavy obligations in assisting returned soldiers, and his first duty was to see those obligations 'discharged. As that was done his officers would have more time to give to the programme it had in conjunction th the Education Department for training in farm schools. A beginning might be made at Weraroa and Rnakura. Something had been placed on the estimates for agricultural clubs and this money was available.
