EDUCATION.
If the address of Sir Robert Stout 111 Master ton last, night did. nothing else, it emphasised the necessity for tlje training of the young people of the country districts in -scientific agriculture. With the increasing prico of our lands, the process of exhaustion that is continually" going 011, and the keenness of competition in the markets of the world, it is absolutely es- : sentia] that science shall be applied ,to or.:• faming operations. At'the .same time, full opportunities must' be g!ve-> tlic bright- bovs and girls for pursuing their studies in secondary education, and of rising to the top of the tree. It is not even- boy who is cut out for a farmer. Nor is every one adapt,?d for the professions. What is required in this country-is specialisation in education, so that every child shall have an opportunity of becoming proficient in that pursuit for which by nature and environment it is intended.
