Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Lessons in Agriculture: With Practical Problems It has been the aim of the author to select from the vast field of agricultural knowledge and practice such subject-matter, materials, and methods as the teacher in the one-room country school, in the grammar grades of a graded school, or in the beginning years of a high school, may find easily practical, within the range of the pupil's understanding, and full of profitable inter est 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. The fields, the pastures, the groves, the orchards, and the gardens, are the real text-books, - this book is only a friendly guide-post. If the work is not conducted by means of real things, the educational value is lost, and the information given-not permanently retained.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book of Lessons in Chemistry, in Its Application to Agriculture: For the Use of Farmers and Teachers The science of Chemistry has been cultivated from the most remote times, yet its history for centuries might be comprised in a few pages. At one time the slave of seekers for gold, and of dreamers after an elixir which might render man proof against the shafts of death, its language was rendered purposely obscure, so as to be unintelligible to the bulk of the people. In later times again we find it but the servant of the physician, useful in compounding the drugs which he employed, and exhibiting in its menial garb little of that important character which it has since assumed, and which leads us now to regard it as the surest interpreter of nature, and one of the most powerful instruments in advancing the civilization of the world. With the advance of scientific knowledge which has distinguished the present time, the means for diffusing it over the world have also everywhere increased. The railway, itself a noble monument of what the science of the present age has accomplished, has become one of the great instruments of extending the influence of her discoveries, and is destined to accomplish far greater things than the famous highways along which the arts and civilization of ancient Rome were carried, and will yet be the means of giving light and knowledge to the remotest corners of the land. All professions have not been equally advanced by the application of scientific knowledge. Whilst some by availing themselves of its assistance have been brought to the greatest perfection, others have for years remained stationary, or have only lately received any impulse towards improvement. Among the occupations of men upon which science until very lately cast but a feeble and uncertain light, we must place the cultivation of the soil. It would occupy too much time to investigate all the causes of this strange state of things; it is, however, well known that the art of agriculture, the most ancient as it is the most important of human occupa tions, for centuries remained almost stationary and seemingly unaffected by the onward march of society.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Principles of Agriculture The purpose of this book is to state in logical order the elementary principles of scientific agriculture, and to show the relation of these scientific facts to farm practice. The need of such a book has been strongly felt by the author in his work as a teacher, not only of college students, but of those already engaged in farming. His experience, both as a practical farmer and as a teacher of the theory and application of agricultural science, leads him to believe that the principles and relations of scientific agriculture, if set forth clearly and in a scientific manner, can be successfully taught in our country district schools. It is here that such education must begin, if it is to reach and influence the mass of farmers, upon Whom rests the chief burden of irrational practice, and through Whom must come any direct pro gress in the true development of the farming industry.

Download or read book Beginnings in Agriculture Classic Reprint written by Albert Russell Mann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beginnings in Agriculture This book is designed for the purpose of introducing the study of \a.griculture into the seventh and eighth grades of our elementary schools. It may also meet a need in some of the smaller high schools and in ungraded Special and private schools. When the pupil comes to well-developed high-school work, he will need a more detailed and specific text. The book is founded on the suggestions in the Report of the Committee on Industrial Education in Schools for Rural Communi ties, Of the National Educational Association. That Committee recommended for the school years 6 to 8, four sets of subjects as follows: first half year, the affairs Of agriculture; second half year, the soil; second year, farming schemes and crops; third year, ani mals. A condensation Of this plan into a two-year scheme has been attempted in the present volume. It has been the aim Of the author to cover the work very largely in a nature-study Spirit, by which it is meant that the pupil Shall be brought into as close touch as possible with the actual farms, soils, crops, animals, and affairs. The problems are intended to set the pupils at work on their own account rather than to enable them to answer questions that may be suggested in the text. It is, of course, essential to practical school conditions that there shall be reading-matter and recitation-matter in the book. Perhaps Part I, dealing with the general agricultural situation, may be used as a series Of introductory reading and discussion exercises, the actual work with subject-matter to begin with Part II. The open book method of teaching, now used successfully in many schools for history and geography, might be employed advantageously with this text, especially in schools in which nature-study receives little attention. It is assumed that the teacher will see that the pupils work out the problems, Or as many of them as have useful application to the affairs of the particular community. It is to be hoped that there will be a school-garden on the premises, or that small areas may be set aside at the homes of the pupils, on which many of the sug gestions in the book may be worked out personally. It is specially to be desired that the parents be brought into the work, in order that the agricultural affairs of the community may be related to the school. Therefore, a large number of problems have been pre sented with this end in view, the expectation being that the pupil will ask the parents for the proper solution of the questions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High School Course in Agriculture Notez - TO this may be added: physical geography, one half year in the freshman or the sophomore year. The work in farm mechanics and management should treat of the mechanical and business phases of agriculture and, as herein outlined, may be introduced easily during the first year of the course. There is good reason to favor the introduction of a more complete course in farm management in the last half of the fourth year, as a general summary of all the work in agri culture. This may well follow a course in agricultural economics, of which it would then become a part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Principles of Agriculture In the preparation of this elementary work upon the Principles of Agriculture, the author has been desirous of avoiding, as far as possible, the use of technical terms, in cases where other terms in general use would convey the same idea. When it has been necessary to employ such terms, they have been explained in the simplest possible manner, so as to render the book intelligible to all classes of readers. Although the work is strictly elementary, the author has considered it desirable to draw attention to certain points in practice and in theory, which seem to be insufficiently recognized by many of our practical and scientific agriculturists. Preface To The Second Edition. The rapid sale of a large edition, and the favourable opinions which have been expressed of its utility, encourage the hope that the "First Principles of Agriculture" has not only been found useful for pupils under instruction in the elementary stage of Agricultural Science, but of value to those who desire to inform themselves on the subject. The alterations which have been made in the Second Edition will probably increase its utility. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
