BOYS FOR
BETTER TYPE NEEDED. HEADMASTER’S VIEWS. London, Feb. 6. “Why shou 1 ’ not farm training, with a view to emigration, form part of the curriculum of public schools?” asked Mr. Hamilton Fyfe, headmaster of Christ’s Hospital Training Farm, in discussing a bequest of £3OOO to the institution. “The governors of Christ’s Hospital,” said Mr. Fyfe, “felt that the time had come when educated boys should be sent overseas; hence, the farm school was established. The whole question of emigration, in their opinion, had been haphazard far too long; there was also a widespread feeling that work on the land in Canada and Australia was not an occupation that should follow public school education. “I should like to see boys who could win high scolarships at universities go out,” added Mr. Fyfe. “In the past bad boys and failures have emigrated, but the Dominions want brains.”
