SATURDAY.. JANUARY 30 th, 1892. 
KTkk New Missionary, —Technical edtica- 
tion has brought into existence a new 
mission. It is one of hope and life and 
higher work for the labourer. Nay, there 
are some of the efforts of the new mission 
devoted to the instruction of women, and 
in the direction of cookery, nursing, needle¬ 
work, etc., it is hoped that some valuable, 
good may be accomplished for the gentler 
sex. But our new missionary—that one 
with which we are most immediately con¬ 
cerned—is of the gospel of horticulture. 
The new technical education schemes have 
brought him into use, and he is now here 
and there,busy striving to inculcate into the 
minds of many hitherto too comparatively 
ignorant 01 the vocation, some of the better 
elements of garden knowledge.
