[10628] At the risk of appearing tire some I am venturing to write once again on the need of teaching bee-keeping to children. In my opinion^ the great hope of the future is with the youngsters, and every association should be on the alert to see that proper instruction is available, or it may be that instead of going forward we shall go back. The ignorance of some instructors is appalling. I need only refer to the instance given in the Bee Journal a few weeks back. There is some talk of teaching bee-keeping in schools, well this is certainly something ; but I suppose it will be carried out, like other subjects, without regard to the suita- bility of the scholar, or the knowledge of the teacher. This latter is probably the greater danger, for unfortunately the scanty amount of information some teachers have must be heard tc be believed. This is a sample. A very good mistress of a fairly large elementary school visited my apiary in the winter time, and listened with much admira- tion to the little I could tell her. On gotn^ round the apiary she observed a large patch of winter greens " Oh, yes, I see you plant those for the bees to feed on in the winter " (fact). Imagine the Jady instructing a class! ! Now T hold that associations can do a vast amount of really good work, both by offering to instruct school teachers and by running classes themselves. The ground for the latter method is ready.
