TEACHING AGRICULTURE.

■- 0 (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 5. The Education Department wishes, if possible, to improve the teaching 1 of agriculture in primary and secondary schools, and for. that purpose a conference is to be called for teachers and representatives from the Agricultural Department. A large number of paprs will be read and committees appointed to digest them. These papers' generally agree that teachers at present are not prepared for giving instructions in agriculture, and, in fact,' that the word was a misnomer, and some other should be used.
