To Teach Tropical Agriculture. ZINE of England's fairest, though O smallest, possessions, are the
 Windward isla.ds, lying off the northern coast of South America. They consist of the islands of Grenada, the little Grenadines, St. Vincent and St. Lucia. There is scarcely 800 square miles in all of them, yet they are in teresting in many ways. Tropical ag- riculture is the staple industry, and the growing of cocoa and spices is stead fly on the increase.

the island are to be taught the prin- ciples of tropical agriculture. The lit tie island has an area of but 132 square miles, but on this supports a popula- tiOn of 41 ,054 persons, of which but 2, ,445 are white. Of the total area of the is land 13,000 acres. one-siXth of he tot al, are under cultivation. and the ma jor ity of this belongs to three firms. On 1t they raise sugar, cocoa, spices and arrOwroot and to these they add for export much valuable timber and rum. Thirty-siN government schools supply mental training for the young of both white and colored parentage.
 The agricultural school, for which great results are hoped for, was re- gently opened by Sir Alfred Maloney, the governor general of the islands rep resenting the British crown. Its estab- lshment is due to the efforts of the is land colonial secretary, Harry L.. Thompson. and both the white and col ored population has so far shown de- cided interest in it, the application for admission to its courses being greater than the capacity of the small college will accommm odate.
 A similar college is now talked of for both Grenada and St. Lucia.
