The following classes are now offered at the Rural Science School for teachers seeking a Rural Science Diploma and for those who desire to improve their knowledge in Natural Science: (1) Nature Study, (2) Botany, (3) Biology, (4) Chemistry, (5) Physics (6) Geology and Mineralogy, (7) Plant diseases, (8) Entomology, (9) Horticulture, (10 Agriculture, (11) Bird Study, (12) Weather work, (13) Wood work, (14) Brush and Cardboard work, (15) Bacteriology. For a Rural Science Diploma classes (1) to (3) inclusive are compulsory. In addition to these the candidate must have successfully completed the work of four classes selected from (4) to (15) and must have presented more advanced work in at least two of these during a second term. The classes in which advanced work for a second term is provided are 2, 4, 5, 8, 9. Election of classes must be made with reference to the time table given below. Two sessions of the School are held during the year, the first opening about the first of May and the second early in July. The exact dates are announced in the April Journal for each year. 214. SPECIAL TRAINING COURSES. Realizing that the Natural Sciences are only part of the necessary mental equipment of a teacher, the summer training school now offers valuable courses in general development. Plays and Games, Social Entertainments, Community Singing, Pageantry, Observance of Special Days, Home Economics, Public Health, Forestry, Fire Protection, Care of the Feeble Minded, Child Welfare-these and allied topics will be discussed and exemplified by persons well qualified to instruct in such subjects. The aim of the special courses will be to teach citizenship in its broadest sense. The teacher who can do things will be much more valuable than the one who merely knows things. The development of Leadership is our highest aim. 215. A PHYSICAL TRAINING COURSE leading to the Teachers' Grade B Physical Training Certificate, will be provided by the Dominion Department of Militia and Defense. Attendance on this class, however, will not qualify students for any aid from the Rural Science funds. It has been intimated from Ottawa, that no bonus will be paid those taking the course. The providing of an instructor is all that can be done. The physical training course is of four weeks duration, synchronizing with the Rural Science course. 216. SUMMER SESSION, 1921. The next summer session of the Rural Science Training School will be held at the Provincial Normal and Agricultural Colleges, Truro, N. S., from 13 July to 10 August, 1921. The first meeting will open at 10 a. m., in the convocation room of the Normal College, when all students should be present in order to qualify for full attendance.
