This seems to be the experience of more than <no rural school, and leads to (be convict ion, proved by (ho exodus from (lie village (o the town'in England, that town pursuits appeal to country children and it is from the population of the city dial our I'ucuro farmers come. Wdl this is not

surprising, but it is pertinent to wonder in that case why the rural schools are not established in urban and suburban areas where most boys want to be farmers, and the country schools arc not given acour.se that appeals to them. \et it is a pity I Perhaps the teachers are a little in fault ! One wonders if town bred teachers, with all the enthusiasm in the world, can instil anything but a. mild feeling of superiority in tbo mind of a practical coimd'y boy.' Wo have seen it glimmering in the eves of primer children when a blight and quite intellectual pupil teacher from (he city is proclaiming her lack of perception as to the difference say, bet ween a Jersey and a Hereford cow.
