FARM TEACHING FAILS
IN COMMON SCHOOLS
iRELAND's EXPERIENCE SHOWS
NEED OF EXPERT DIRECTION
OF COURSES.
BY Edwin G. Cooley.

Many years ago ireland tried to
save herself economically by intro
ducing agricultural courses into the
nation, |. e.. elementary schools. The
plan was tried extensively. BY 1900
the teaching of agriculture In the ele-
mentary schools was conceded to
have been a failure, and of the resi-
dental schools all but two had been
put out OF business.
A new act for technical and agricul-
tural instruction In Ireland was
passed In 1900. providing the follow
ing program:
1. To provide at one central insti-
tuition the highest form of technical
education for the men who were to
become teachers and specialists In ag-
riculture.
2. To provide at least one hlgh-class
agricultural college which would pre-
pare men to enter the Royal College
OF Science and become agricultural
experts.
8. To provide provincial institutions
at which young men would be taken
as farm apprentices and taught asri-
culture. both practical and techni-
cal.
4. To provide winter schools OF ag-
riculture where the sons of farmers.
at small expense, could obtain tech
nical training during the winter
months. when they could be spared
from farm work.
s. To provide central institutions
for the training of women in the do
mestic economy OF the farmhouse. and
In the work which falls to the lot of
woman to perform in connection with
the working of the farm. such as
dairying and poultry.keeping.
6. To provide education for young
women. In domestic economy and
'farmyard lore" In residential and day
schools.
7. To provide for instruction in
each county, In agriculture. horticul-
ture. dairying. poultry-keeping and
Bookkeeping for the farmers and their
wives, sons and daughters, by sys-
tenn OF itinerant instruction.
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture
Campbell says that the only indis-
pensable features OF the scheme are
numbers /. and THE training OF
teachers, winter schools and itinerant
instructors.
One hundred and flfty-two itinerant
instructors are now employed, In ad-
diticn to hfty-three special teachers
sent out by the department to assist
the small farmers. and a number OF
creamery experts. These instructors
