TECHNICAL AGRICULTURE.

THE MASTLRTON SCHOOL CLASSES.

At the anuuai meeting of the Masterton A. and P. Association, yesterday, Mr W. Perry made reference to the agricultural'! classes at the Masterton District High School. He said that the Committee appointed by the Association to assist iu the movement bad under consideration the question of giving prizes to encourage exhibits from the children in oouueotiou witn the classes. If the ohildreu took the matter up the pieseut hall on the Showgrounds would be inadequate for the exhibits, and that was a matter that the new Committee would have tj consider.

Mr tf. Smith askbd whether the schools in the Pahiatua district, whero considerable interest was being taken in tecnnioal agriculture, would be able to exhibit with the Masterton Schools. *Pahiatua was considered to be in the North Wairarapa, and he would like to sue the Pahiatua Schools competing with exhibits against other schools in the Wairarapa. The Chairman thought that the Pahiatua schools should left to the Woodville A. and P. Asvoomtiou to deal with, just as the Wairarapa P. and A. Association would deal with the schools south ot the Waingawa River. He thought that all the A. and P. t. ssooiatious should work together in this important matter.
