They should not be compila tions of agricultural bulletins written by experts. These bulle tins are readily available, and no textbook can take their place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Agriculture of Tennessee: With Practical Artithmetic As the population of our country increases, it is fast becoming evident that two things must be done: poorer soil must be cultivated, and what is already under cultivation must be made to produce more. In either case more thoughtful methods in agriculture are absolutely essential. The farmer of to-morrow, who is to-day the farmer's boy, must know how to farm better than his father does. In order to do this, he must acquire a more or less complete knowledge of the sciences on which agriculture is based. The farmer of the future must be able to read farm papers understandingly, or better still, he should be trained for his life work in some agricultural school as doctors, lawyers and teachers are now trained. It is the purpose of this book to give to the farmer's child, who studies it, a start in such necessary knowl edge. The language used is plain and simple, and may be readily understood by any bright boy or girl of twelve years of age. All scientific terms are defined in a simple way whenever it has been necessary to introduce them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Elementary Agriculture The studies of the following pages constitute part of the laboratory course given with the subject of agriculture in the Fresno State Normal. They are designed to prepare teachers for presenting the subject of agriculture in the rural school. They are not predigested and ready for presentation to the child with teacher's story, introduction, description and conclusion complete, but are outlines to direct the student in pre paring the studies for presentation to the child. The work of the student is complete only when, through his own efforts, each study is ready, from the teacher's story to the conclusion, for presentation to school children. Through the preparation of these studies the student gets a broad knowledge of elementary agriculture, experience in pre paring subject matter and material for presenting agricultural studies and nature study lessons, and begins to find, understand, and appreciate the beauty of all things out of doors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Elementary Agriculture: An Elementary Text Book Dealing With Plants, Insects, Birds, Weather, and Animals of the Farm Nebraska is an agricultural state. The products of her soil are the basis of her industries and her prosperity. The children of our great state of Nebraska should be familiar with our crops, our grains and grasses, our flowers and fruits, our trees and shrubs and weeds, our domestic animals and birds and insects. Our children should have a practical knowledge of the management of a farm, of the composition of the soil, and of the adaptability of the farm and its soil for the cultivation of certain plants and the counter effect of such plant growth upon the soil. The children of Nebraska should love nature, they should be taught nature's ways and means, taught to observe her phenomena closely and in such a manner that they will learn to love her. Nearly all industries of mankind have their origin in the soil, and children should be led to see the relation between farm labor and its products and the marts of trade and commerce. Much of the work of the school, including instruction in geography, arithmetic, science, and literature might be correlated profitably with instruction in agriculture and nature study. A school garden with the actual work intelligently directed might prove an inspiration to honest toil and better living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Exercises in Agriculture For a long time the author has felt the need of a book to put in the hands of the rural teacher as a guide in showing the children the real value of agri cultural work in the laboratory. The true teacher feels that all the explanation needed should be given and no more. It should be given in a plain, clear cut way. The teacher can take this book and use it even if she has not had any work on agriculture. The equipment is simple, so simple that any country school can get it. The things that are used are also practical. This book aims to tell of the things that the child should know in order to become interested in the farm life. The school work is made significant by having the children actually doing the things them selves. The farmer demands that his boy should know how to do things, and there is no better place than the laboratory to do many of the things the child needs to be taught. It is to provide for the doing of these things that this little book is written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book One Hundred Lessons in Elementary Agriculture written by Aretas W. Nolan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Lessons in Elementary Agriculture: A Manual and d104 of Elementary Agriculture for Rural Schools The preparation of this book is an effort to combine in convenient form the directions for the laboratory experiments, field exercises, text-book studies, and notebook work, which the author has found most practical and helpful in teaching elementary agriculture and nature-study in rural and consolidated schools. It has been the aim of the author to simplify the subject-matter, materials and methods usually presented in text-books on agriculture, so that the teacher in the one-room county school, in the grammar grades of a graded school or in the beginning years of a high school may find the lessons easily practical, within the range of the pupils' understanding, and full of profitable interest and educational value. It is a text-book and manual combined, for the purpose of leading away from the usual text-book method of teaching, to the method of first-hand contact with the real things of Agriculture. If the work is not conducted by means of real things, the educational value is lost, and the information given not permanently retained. The lessons do not follow each other in very close sequence, each lesson being independent, permitting the teacher to choose as the season and occasion make the materials available. It is not the purpose to make "ready made" lessons, which will discourage or take away the need of effort on the part of the teacher. but to furnish suggestive subject-matter and methods upon which he may build from his own initiative and resourcefulness.

Download or read book Elementary Agriculture and Horticulture Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Agriculture and Horticulture This Manual is intended particularly for the use of the teacher. The work herein outlined is expected to meet the needs of busy teachers who may not have had much training in the fundamental principles of the sciences underlying agriculture. Some training, of course, is necessary, but the wide-awake teacher who is willing to put forth some personal effort may accomplish something worth while, if the lessons here planned for his guidance are followed out. The topics are selected so as to be adapted to the average rural school of one teacher, and are sufficiently elastic to be made use of in any part of Ontario, even in the cities. The seasonal arrangement is made use of because, unlike many other subjects, practical agriculture must necessarily follow the seasons. The various duties per taining to the farm should be studied when they occur, not a month before or a month after. The lessons are outlined so as to require the laboratory method, and the pupils are expected to do agriculture, not simply read about it. Moreover, most, if not all, of the lessons are of such a character as can be taken up in a half-hour period, with a little forethought, or they can be left off, and concluded during a class period a day or so afterwards. It is not intended that each school should complete all the lessons given, nor is it intended to confine the classes strictly in every case to these lessons. If the teacher wishes to undertake practical exercises, other than those outlined, which he considers suitable to the locality, there could be no objection offered, so long as such exercises fall within the Course of Study.

Download or read book Elements of Farm Practice Prepared Especially for Teaching Elementary Agriculture Classic Reprint written by A. D. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Farm Practice, Prepared Especially for Teaching Elementary Agriculture This book has been prepared primarily for use in rural schools and for elementary classes in other schools, wherever it is desirable to study the plain and practical problems of the farm and home in their relation to daily life. The book deals largely with common farm practices, rather than with scientific principles. It is intended to throw some light upon and add interest to the things that are done on the farm from day to day. We feel that, if pupils can be interested and enabled to use the farms and the farm homes as laboratories in which to observe and apply the things learned at school, a great step will have been made toward bringing the school in close touch with the home life of the pupils. A study of agriculture in the rural schools elevates, in the minds of the farm youth, the calling of agriculture. A rather close study of a few farm problems impresses one with the great amount of knowledge and skill required to operate a farm successfully; and must convince one that a farm, rightly managed, affords as much opportunity for development as a professional or business career. We do not suggest that the topics shall necessarily be taken up in the order presented, but that each teacher begin with that portion of the book dealing with the particular phase of farm work that is being done on the home farms of the pupils at the time the lesson is given. Each section is a complete reading lesson, followed by questions, examples, and exercises, which relate to the lesson. The questions may be answered orally or in the form of a language paper. The examples will enforce some of the main facts taught in the text. The exercises will require study and observation of local activities and will help to connect up the lesson with the practical things in the community.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Agriculture and School Gardening at Winthrop, Vol. 3 Too often, also, has the boy from the country had a hard time among his fellows, when in pursuit of learning he has left the rural school and entered that of the city. Often have hay seed and other opprobrious epithets been hurled at him, and his greatest asset in life, a knowledge of hay, cotton and corn, been the subject of derision. A study of hay, cotton and corn will change all this. The city bred boy will honor and respect the farmer boy, who has.a greater knowledge 'of these things than he has. The study of the farm, its conditions, its prospects, its relation to other great social industries, is sure to bring about a truer estimate of the value of farm life, a keener appreciation of the dignity of labor and a closer fellowship between country and city.

Download or read book An Uniform Course of Study in Agriculture for the Elementary Schools of Ohio Classic Reprint written by Ohio; State Commissioner of Com Schools and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Uniform Course of Study in Agriculture for the Elementary Schools of Ohio Agriculture is not a wholly new subject, nor is it one foreign to our public school system. The last General Assembly made it-a mandatory part of our courses of study for the Elementary and High Schools. The wisdom of this is patent to us all. This course of study arranged by the four Supervisors of Agricultural Education and myself is intended to suggest ways and means of giving to our boys and girls of all the schools the most helpful plans of acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of those parts of the subject that are appropriate and the study of which will be profitable; it is further intended to teach the happiness, health, and wealth of country life and to make the boys and girls proud of rural life whether they live in the country or not. In laying out the work for the year, it should not be presumed that all found in this course is to be studied or taught; the material herein is suggestive throughout; select from it what is wholesome and in harmony with the agricultural and home life of your several communities; select only sufficient topics and amount of work as can be well done during the year; it might be well to outline the work month by month so that too much may not be attempted; four or five subjects properly planned for the year's work and well taught may be sufficient for the average school, for agriculture and home craft are to have only their appropriate share of the time and efforts of the teachers and pupils, - the other studies must have theirs. It will be well for the members of boards of education, superintendents and teachers to keep at hand the name and address of the Supervisor of the district in which they live for he will endeavor to answer by mail the questions sent to him and will also be glad to come to any part of his district when called upon to render any aid possible. Finally, the teaching of this subject will have reached the stage most helpful to the boys and girls when home and school work together heartily and sympathetically; the teaching must fail in its highest and best sphere if it does not touch and retouch the farm, the farm home and all farm life; let it be our constant aim to make a happier and a better citizenship while we are making better farmers, and better home makers; this being our ideal, the teaching of this subject will find its best results and consummation in the homes and on the farm.
