MODEL FARM AND AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
NEAR DUBLIN.
TgERE is an establishment connected with the
agriculture OF Ireland. which is IN the immedlu'c
neiohborhood of Dublin, and which have visited
with the greatest pleasure, ard that is a Model
Farm and an Agricultural School. The national
government have determined to appropriate seven
tv.fye thousand pounds annually TO the cause oil
edpcation in Ireland, to be distributed, in pro-
portions corresponding TO the subscriptions OF H.
diyiduals for the same objects, In parts oil the
country where education is most needed. 1t is
considered, and with good reason, that the great
want among the people, Is want of knowledge |
in applying and using the means OF subsistence
within their reach; that there Is no ndlsp3sltion
on their part to labor thai there is as yet an am
ple extent of uncultivated land capable OF being
redeemed and rendered productive; and that
principal source of the wretchedness, and want,
and starvation, which prevail in some parts OF
this country, often to fearful extent, is attrbu-
table to the gross ignorance of the laboring |
classes of tho best modes of agriculture and OF
rural economy. With This conviction upon theli |
minds. the commissioners have determined to
connect with all their rural schools course OF
teaching in scientific and practical agriculture,
communicating knowledge of the simple ele-
menfs of agricultural chemistry; OF the best
modes and operations of husbandry which have
been adopted In any country oil the nature, ana
character, and uses OF the vegetables and plants
necessary or useful 10 man or beast; OF the I'M.
proved kinds of live stock, and of the construc-
ton and use of the most improved and most ap-
pruyed farming implements and machinery =
With these views, it is their intention to train
their schoomasers, and to send out such men Us
ara apt and qualified to teach these most useful
branches For this purpose the government nave
established this model farm, which was begun III
1888. and which mas already, in greater or less
measure, qualified and sent out seven hundred
teachers. To nay mind il seems destined 10 con-
fer the mot important beneht upon Ireland, ana
I NAV add upon the world, for so 1t happens
under the benignant arrangements OF the Divine
Providence, the benefits OF every good measure or
effort for the improvement Of mankind proceed,
by a sort of reduphcation, to an unlimited ex
tent; these teachers shall instruct their pupils,
and these pupils become in their turn the teach.
era: and the good seed, thus sown and widely
scattered goes on yielding It's constantly increas
inc products to an extent which no human ina
1natop can measure. Three thousand school
masters arc at this moment demanded for Ireland
and the government ave determined to supply
them. Happy is it for the country, and honora-
Bile to human nature, when, instead OF schemes
of avarice, and dreams of ambition, and visions
of conquest, at the dreadful expense of the CON-
fort, and liberty, and lives, of the poweriess anc
