JOHN MORGAN and ANNESLEY VOYSEY
Kent County Council provides instructional centres in several market towns for ' school-leavers ' who have already taken up farm work. A few other counties are setting out to provide similar facilities.
Children who have just left school to work on the land need an all-round training if they are to be efficient and happy in their work. There is also the problem of the town child who wants to take up an out-of-door life and who, given the right background and training, would make good. Both types, as yet, are too young for the courses at the Farm Institutes and Colleges, and many of them must learn while they earn.
Mr. Annesley Voysey will discuss with Mr. John Morgan what Kent is doing to meet the need for training in evening for boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and sixteen.
