The Board of Education have recently issued a " Memorandum on 

 the Principles and Methods of Rural Education,"* which provides a 

 comprehensive survey of that part of the field 

 Memorandum, on °^ agricultural education for which the Board 

 the Principles of °^ Education is responsible. The memor- 

 Hural Education andum is intended to call the attention of 

 County Education Authorities to the import- 

 ance of a well-conceived scheme of rural education in its bearings upon 

 agriculture, and through agriculture upon the general conditions of 

 rural life. 



The Board of Education express the hope that this memorandum 

 will serve to illustrate and enforce the need for a comprehensive rather 

 than a piecemeal treatment of the problem of rural education. It is 

 pointed out that if efficient work is to be done, it must be planned not 

 for this or that parish, but for each county as a whole ; not for this 

 or that season, but for the years to come, in order that each new 

 generation of students may have the advantage of well-thought-out 

 methods and of an organisation the various parts of which, from the 

 elementary school to the agricultural college, form a coherent whole. 

 For certain purposes, such as the preparation of qualified teachers or 

 the application of research to the problems which bear upon practical 

 agriculture, even the county cannot properly be treated as a self-con- 

 tained unit ; and on such points, as well as on many general questions 

 of principle and organisation, the co-operation of agriculturists and 

 educationalists in the production of a workable scheme for the country 

 as a whole is needed, in order to secure the most satisfactory results. 



In order to make the information contained in several of their 

 leaflets available to agriculturists in parts of Wales where English is
