After a general discussion of rural education, its needs and short- 

 comings, the author gives an account of the program for rural educational 

 reform, known as the Macdonald Consolidated Rural School Movement, 

 which was to take effect in Canada the following September. A large num- 

 ber of interesting facts are given not only concerning this proposed reform 

 but also concerning the agricultural work in general in Canada.

Two questions are raised: (i) Are the sciences underlying agriculture 

 to be taught? (2) Where will teachers be found to give adequate instruc- 

 tion along such lines? Both questions are answered, the first by making 

 use of pupils' everyday experiences, the second through training schools 

 for teachers.
