A n important matter, one to which wii havu given some attention in our columns, came before, the Auckland University Council on Monday last, [t was stated by Professor Brown that he has lately received u number of applications from country teachers for instruction in agricultural science, in order to qualify themselves for imparting and spreading a knowledge of that essential branch of education to pupils in their respective districts. The applicants are willing to devote, their Saturdays for the purpose, if opportunities are afforded them. The Council recognised the great importance of the subject, and referred it to a committee to report upon. This is a very hopeful beginning in the direction of securing technical education, which is of the utmost value to the welfare and prosperity of the country in developing the scope of its greatest source of wealth—the agricultural industry. We trust the movement will grow and be brought to a successful and beneficial issue.
