AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
A TEACHER'S OPINION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) TIMARTJ. Last Night, Mr M. McLeod, 8.A., in his Presidential address to the District Education Institute, said: that agricultural instruction was fairly well established in the primary schools; but it would bo of no real value until it was carried on through the secondary schools and through the University. Nor would experimental: farms be of much value until tho far nors were better instructed in scientific methods. Agriculture should be ranked in the Universities with chemistry, plrysics, botany, mathematics, or Latin. Thus farming would be raised in popular.estimation among tho professions, and the tide now flowing from the country to the towns would bo checked. The meeting decided to send a. remit to the Teacliers' Conference that the University authorities bo asked to mako agriculture a subject for the B.A. and B.'s degree.
