FARM TRAINING FOR BOYS.
:lb must be, gratifying'to the Hon. Mr Newman and.those associated with (iim in the c&ntrol and management oi the Flock House scheme to observe that a similar policy is being adopted in other parts of the. Empire, notably Canada and Australia. | "Cable news from London a few days ago stated that migrants who had arrived in Australia after being taught some measure of farm work in England had. urged that the training be given in Australia, not England. Ihe Same no doubt applies to the-immi-grants in New Zealand. . , ' It-is now reported that two p n i? ia S provinces have taken up the *lock House s,'cheriae with a view'.to placing boys on-the land as actual settlers. ; In' Alberta a course is given "in one <>f the agricultural schools followed oy a , period .of apprenticeship on farms under the supervision of the Department.of Agriculture. A similar scheme is being. carried through in Ontario, where a. farm has. been, bought, tor training,the young men after arrival.
