Youth For Farm Work
(To the Editor.) Sir,— Referring to the correspondence on this subject, I cannot understand why the Rissington Farm Hostel is not full and with a waiting list. I have been several times to visit this Scout activity and have been delighted with what I saw. The boys get a splendid training under ideal conditions and good positions are secured for them where the committee coutinue to keep an eye on their w-elfare. I am inclined to "think that the country would be in a better position if the high schools with their expensive buildings were closed and the young people taken out into the country and educated under some such system as has been inaugurated at Rissington.— Yours, etc., TRUE EDUCATION. Napier, 2/11/33.
