Instruction in agriculture has been increasingly
progressive
For instance an analysis of the soil of the
island showed a lack of potash, while another
ANALYSIS showed that the seaweed which is cast
upon the beach in large quantities contained that
very element in substantial degree From that
time it became a part of the regular work of
the farm to gather the seaweed and the driftwood
and to dry and burn It, and to put the ashes con-
tanning the potash back into the soil.
Both industry and recreation are highly devel
oped The daily program is almost strenuous,
compared with the life of the boy of similar age
elsewhere.
Discipline is a marked characteristic, yet it is
kindly and attractive, with large rewards for the
faithful, well-intentioned boy, and a quick and
certain retribution for the boy otherwise The
boy makes his own place there, as he will in
later life in the larger world.
The daily routine is as follows: Five a. H.
boys doing duty mixers, bakers and cooks
rise; 5:45, reveilIe; $780, breakfast; to 8:45,
classes in manual training and trades; to 11:l5
morning session of school; $780, dinner; u m.
TO l p. m- play; /, classes in manual training
and trades; 2:30 to s. afternoon session of school,
$50, supper; to z, play; 7:15 chaper and taps.
On Sunday there is a general relaxation. In
stead of reveille at 5:45 in the morning. the
bugle sounds half an hour later, and instead of
the peremptory call to rise a hymn is played
during which the boys may lie abed
session of Sunday school is held between
10 and II. in which the instructors having Bible
classes are assisted by a theological student who
comes every week for the purpose.
