Mangrove (.'ay, Avdros,
'I lie three Board schools have
hem conducted regularly except
th it a breai h covering two months
occurred in the Mangrove Cay
schi.ni owing to ih" illness and
death of the former teacher.
All i In' teachers appear to have
n hearty interest in their work,
and the feeling between t lem and
the parents is good,

The Board schools have been
regularly opened andithe attendance
good. Whooping cough interfered
somewhat with the attendance
just after the mid-summer holidays
The four public teachers are of
the b"st in the service of (beBoaid
and all have faithfully performed
the duties required of then).
Here in this district, BS in the
whole Colony, that which strikes
the visitor most, is the very large
pi rcenl ige if babies Rnd the ab-
sei ce ol pupils over the age limit.
Except the monitors one seld im
s The parents, ihe Colony over, are
very anxious to have a sch ol and
are I,, en ab >ul sen ling 1 he child-
ren up to twelve years and then
the attendance is irrecular and
stops altogether when th
limit is reached. As this pracl 1
is ti ne i>f every district, it w how that the parents tlink thai
as s.....1 as ihe child can n d
and w rite it is better emplo\ ed 111
the fields than in school where it
I irns n ithing I hat w ill fit it for
e irning a living.
The curriculm of out Board
school*, although practically the
sime as forty years ago, may be
all righl if ihe hole coins- i>
a 11 f"l owed by a secon I iry
education, but n partial c
produces freaks, swelled heads
and parasites who think it a dis-
" 1 ice ti work with their hand-. I
am convinced, aftei thirty yi irs'
experience in the d iferent puts
of the I olony that there is
great need for a change so as to
include the teaching of elementary
scientific and practical agriculture.
By ihe introduction of "Tropical
Readers" and other text books
and by school gaidens give the
bO) and girl of twelve ft ITS a
chance to get some knowledge of
and _-.'t into closer sympa'.h) wiih
the chief business of their lives,
namely, the cultivation of the sod.
In this day noergument is need-
e I in' support of adapting the
educational system <>f .". country
to ihe need of ihe ngi icultural
cominti 11v. It is no longer in ihe
experimental stage. Even in places
where conditions ire similai loour
own, Ihe pioneei woi l< h is been
, ne and w e only hoe t study
what li is been accomplished in
r piltS f Ihe West Indies to
fin I 1 system just suited to our
conditions.
Under other headings I have
taken the position that the failure
of our pineapple industrythe
general failure to pet a hung from
the land and the consequent emi-
gr ition, i* very largely due to the
la k of agricultu il knowledge on
the pot of our people; and
her* I would like to say that it is
in the Board school we must begin
to impart thai kn redg and
then go a step farther by establish*
ing Farm schools in certain central
localities where selected boys may
I! gathered from the Board schoo S
and carried "ii to 17 or 18 years "f
age receiving an e lu modern methods of cultivating
the soil and the raising of stock
etc.
In ins report on Long Island
1 1 1 I wrote. \s I have 1 r (vei-
led through the district and sei n
the wasted tune, the wanton des-
tructionol land and the utter 111-
differencc t 1 1 lie continued at d
rapid deterioration in s'ocfc and
cattle, I h ive dreamed, 11 id so ne-
'imes lieamed iloud, of the gre it
change for the bettei il we could
gel -in \l;i k iiliural sch.ml where
the rhildern could be taught "how
to 'ive and make a livelihood nut
of the resources at hand. Such
a suggestion^ I fe ir, is not yet
within tl e rage of practical poli-
tics. Because of Ihe initial ex-
P use the Legislature would not
enterl lin ruch a scheme, but there
is much to be said in favour of it.
Such an institution would, 111
addition to turning out yearly a
number of young men with an
education of a kind thai would
make th in useful and valuable
citizens, provide a home for waifs
and Strays, It would also provide
the machinery foi improving the
breed of stock, cattle and poultry
and would in tins direction alone,
pay its working expenses after
three or f Mir yeais".
If tins was true >f Long Island
about the only Island where the
folks live on tl.ir farms an I make
an attempt at raising stock, it ap-
plies with greater force to this and
other Districts.
