BOYS' SOCIETY

Training Farms

In the depression years the Society was asked to take charge of a training farm for boys over school age at Lysterfield. It

accepted the challenge. This farm gave many boys a great tfcart in

lite and became their home.

On the resumption of the property bv the State Govrrnmcnt in 1943 the work was transferred to a 523 acres property at Yering and in 1847 the Society offered to co-operate with the Federal and State

Governments in providing a training farm for local and migrant

boys.

With the encouragement of the Government bodies, plans were prepared for an establishment capable of caring for 86 boys, and farm improvements in keeping with this responsibility were made with the aid of generous benefactions and an appeal 'co the public.

At the point at which a contract was about to bo let for the erection of the main buildings, warnings carne from the Government migration authorities and from Church sources in London that the

anticipated supply of migrant boys over school age for farm training

was not materialising.

Subsequent information was to the effect that, for the time being, the Government was not prepared to subsidise new buildings

as there was ample accommodation for the migrants offering.in

existing institutions

This, coupled with the fact that fewer and fewer local boys were offering for farm training owing to the high wages offering on farms and in other employment for unskilled workers, made it apparent that the original scheme would have to be drastically curtailed.

Concurrently with this development, the Society was given a 330 acre irrigation property at Tatura and felt that a modified scheme could be inaugurated there on a farm-family basis.

Irrigation property proved to offer greater scope for training with less exacting hours of work than the dairy property a'c Yering

and excellent results have been achieved there.

The Tatura venture also revealed the advantages of the small family unit type of farm training, often referred to as the cottage system, as against the institutional type envisaged at Yering, although splendid results were also obtained there with the limited

number of boys available.

The Society ha«¡, therefore, decided to dispose of the Yering property and concentrate on the Tatura farm until such time as a natural demand for greater activity is apparent. It is proposed that, from now on, all activities be conducted under the name of ..The C.E.B.S. Farm Training Scheme for Bovs." Future plans will bo made in co-operation with the Charities Commission.

J. WILLS, General Secretary.
