FREE FARM SCHOOLS OR AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES FOR
OUR YOUTHS
To tho Editor
Sir, —I think it is time that this colony opened free farm schools to encourage our boys to follow agricultural pursuits, as we want a yeoman population. If we spent thousands of pounds annually teaching the beys town trades vi the State technical schools, I think that thousands extra should be spent on agricultural schools, where our boys would be taught to become first producers, and not competitors with the English immigrant town workers. The Wellington Education Board are moving in the matter. Que&nsland, Victoria. South Australia, and New South Wales have State Agricultural Colleges.—l am, etc.. J PEARSON.
