thereon for a term of not less than tive years a school of instruction in 
practical farming and all matters pertaining thereto, adapted for thirty 
pupils, with the approval and to the satisfaction of the Minister of the 
Interior. In a scheme of this nature there is ample scope for private enter- 
prise with a reasonable certainty of profit, as an institution of that nature 
could no doubt be conducted more economically under private management 
than under public control . . . Such a school, established on sound principles, 
might, if placed under the supervision of this Department, become entitled 
to some bonus or other aid from the Province, but further than this it does 
not seem practical at present to suggest. The public lands in the Province 
are being so rapidly taken up, that persons desirous of establishing a school 
should lose no time in making a start."
