*Q NATURAL RESOURCES OF QUEBEC The Provincial Dairy School is situated at St. Hyacinthe, in the Eastern Townships. It was originated by the local dairymen’s asso- ciation in 1892 with Government assistance and its purpose is to train cheese and butter makers and inspectors. The present school was built by the Government of the province in 1905 at a cost of $100,000. No butter or cheese factory can be operated in the province unless it is under the supervision of an operator holding a diploma or certificate from this dairy school. In 1926 the number of students registered was 305, and 383 diplomas and certificates were granted.
