Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture for Common Schools While it is not the province of the public schools, as at present organized, to teach the trades, it is their privilege and their duty to put the child in intelligent touch with the life about him and to use all of the means at hand in the process Of education. Much has been said about the tendency among boys to leave the farm for the town, and many attempts at explana tion and justification have been made. While it is perfectly proper for the boy to leave his father's farm and seek his fortune in a crowded city, sometimes he has gone with the mistaken notion that he could substitute wit for work in life's contest, 01: because Of a lack of appreciation of the dignity Of labor. Sometimes, also, he has gone because he has failed to see his Opportunities on the farm. The fact that he has not always bettered his condition has suggested a possibility of bringing about at least a more intelligent consideration of the question.

Download or read book Elements of Agriculture for Use in Schools Classic Reprint written by James Bolton McBryde and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Agriculture, for Use in Schools The pressing need of some agricultural instruction in our public schools is generally admitted by all who have given due thought to the subject. Especially is this true in the Southern States, where the gnat majority of the population is engaged in agricultural pursuit, and where comparatively few students from the rural district find their way to college. According the census of 1900, the total population of the Southern States is about 23,000,000. Of this number the rural population makes up fully 75 percent or more; in other words, about 17,000,000. The total number of persons enrolled during the session of 1898-'99, as students of agriculture in the land-grant colleges of the South was 1,777, or about .0001 percent of the agricultural population. The number of persons receiving agricultural instruction outside of these colleges is so small as not materially to affect the result, and it is safe to say that of the agricultural population of the South not more than one person in 10,000 receives any schooling in agriculture. We have, then, the amazing spectacle of an agricultural community that is spending annually for its schools and colleges about $35,000,000, and yet giving instruction in agriculture to only one person in every 10,000 of the agricultural population. That there are still great difficulties in the way of the work agricultural education is freely admitted. The want of thoroughly trained teachers, the Med of more and better apparatus and text hooks, and the want of appreciation on the part Of the general public, are great barriers in the way of progress.

The: first thing, except one, that we remember in this world, we shouldered our hoe and marched ofi to the cotton field. So we were taught to plow and to hoe, to reap and to mow, and always keep up with our row. Through life we have continued to study soil and plants. We have found pleasure and profit in learning how to make the soil grow good crops. Now, in response to a thousand requests, we have tried to tell how to do this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Agriculture for Common Schools A knowledge of the principles of agriculture, which simply means a knowledge of the natural laws and principles which underlie rural life and rural pursuits, is not only important for those who are actually engaged in the pursuits of agriculture, but may in general be regarded as an important element in the education of the young. For the large number of pupils who are unable to pursue an extended academic course of study, the natural sciences should not, as is too often the case, be wholly neglected. Although the time of the school course may not admit of a thorough mastery of any one of these sciences, a selection of the fundamental and elementary principles of each may be consistently and profitably presented. Education of this kind, impressing upon the young the mysteries and the beauties of nature, tends to increase the fondness for our native soil, and to develop a spirit of genuine patriotism. This book is designed primarily for use in the public schools, and contains no difficulties too great for ordinary pupils of twelve or fourteen years.

Download or read book High School Agriculture Classic Reprint written by D. D. Mayne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Agriculture The order of the main topics as given in the text is logical. But it may be varied to suit special conditions. A very ele mentary agricultural chemistry is given first, because the names of the elements directly concerned in plant life, and somewhat of a familiarity with them, serve as a basis for all agricultural teaching. It also renders possible the use for reference of a larger number of more advanced textbooks and articles by sci entists than would otherwise be available. Familiarity with the elements and with selected compounds is the purpose rather than adherence to applications that are directly related to agri culture. If chemical laboratories are accessible for use, some of the experiments given and others to be dictated by the teacher may well be performed by the student, but excellent results for the purpose here intended may be secured if the experiments are performed by the teacher before the class.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Effective Farming: A Text-Book for American Schools To meet the new demands, many texts are appearing. The present book is one of the contributions to this rapidly enlarging field, drawn from several years' experience as a teacher of agriculture in both high school and college. It aims to present instruction in practical agriculture in such a way as to be read ily understood by both pupil and general reader, and to be directly adaptable, at the same time, to the needs of the class room and laboratory. Agriculture is a subject of great variety. One person cannot cover it all. As indicated in certain parts of the text, some of the matter has been compiled from publications of the United States Department of Agriculture and the state experiment stations. This form of compilation suggests the kind of valuable information that can be gleaned from these publications. Too few teachers realize the great extent of practical teaching, material in these bulletins and circulars.

This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture in the Public Schools Here again one can give no intelligent answer until one knows definitely what courses in secondary agriculture involve, the laboratory equipment needed, and the training demanded of the teacher. Then one needs to know the actual equipment of our high schools and high school teach ers, and the possibilities for training such teachers as are needed for this work. All of the facts which are needed to answer intelligently these and other questions involved in the introduction of agriculture into our pub lic schools are easily obtainable. To blunder ahead without first study ing carefully these facts and providing a rational plan, based upon the results of the experience of others and upon a knowledge of the facts involved, would be an educational and political crime. This Bulletin attempts to give briefly these facts. While we do not propose to offer here a complete plan for the intro duction of agriculture into the public schools, we feel that the facts which are presented make clear at least the following points.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Teaching: Based Upon the General Principles of Agriculture for the Use of Schools One of the most hopeful features connected with the West Indies is the general movement now taking place in favour of Agricultural teaching. The West Indian Colonies are wholly dependent on Agriculture, but hitherto no systematic attempts have been made to teach the Elements of Agriculture in such a manner as to win the intelligence and energies of the rising generation in favour of Agricultural pursuits. The first step taken was to train the Teachers already in charge of Schools and qualify them to give the right kind of instruction, in the lower classes by means of object lessons, and in the upper, in close relation with experiments with plants grown in pots, boxes or school plots. The object aimed at, and clearly impressed on the minds of the teachers was not to load the memory with facts, but to train the powers of observation and give the children an intelligent interest in the every-day facts of rural life.
