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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in Agriculture The exercises contained in this book have been tried in high schools by the author. They are recommended for the laboratory work in a one-year course in agriculture. There should be two laboratory periods each week for this work if possible. The value of having each pupil do the individual exercises cannot be over-emphasized. Seeing and noting the results, is believing, in laboratory work. These exercises should accompany the regular class work. The exercises selected are simple and practical, and require but little equipment. Many such exercises have been tried out by the author, in his practice teaching work in agriculture. All those that have been found too difficult for the practice teacher to perform have been eliminated, so that the ones here given can be taught by the average high school teacher. The teacher, can select from this list the ones that are best suited to the local conditions. Every exercise in this book can be performed in the average high school with a limited amount of equipment. The equipment should be sufficient, however, for the size of the class. No pupil can perform exercises without the needed equipment any more than a mechanic can do his work without tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in Elementary Agriculture: Plant Production Dairying is an industry of sufficient importance in most States to deserve special consideration in a course in elementary agriculture. The subject would naturally be introduced by making a somewhat more detailed study of the dairy type of cow than was given under animal production. This would be followed by a study of milk, its composition, how determined, and relation to price; handling, and the relation of cleanliness, straining, aerating, and cooling to quality; and uses for consumption as milk or cream, for condensing, for cheese making, and for butter making. In regions where dairying is not an important industry it may be desirable to take up the study Of some other phase of agrotechny, such as sugar making, canning, wine making, or olive-oil making. Rural engineering in most of its aspects is considered too technical for pupils in the common schools, but in every community there will be some Opportunity to examine the plans and structure of good types of buildings, fences, irrigation systems, etc., and to devote some time to drawing simple plans of farms, buildings, and other works. Ad vantage should also be taken of any Opportunity to visit implement warehouses and have the structure, Operation, and care of different types of farm machinery pointed out to pupils. The importance Of good roads, hygienic water supply, and sewage disposal should be emphasized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Exercises in Farm Handicraft for Rural Elementary Schools States the handicraft club work has received considerable attention. Others of the exercises are from publications Of this department; still others are original with the author, being those he has used in giving instruction in agriculture in public schools and in his work on the farm. It is hoped that the exercises outlined will suggest many others. A large number of school, farm, and home appliances can be made by schoolboys, and the making of these things trains the hand and the eye and develops habits Of accuracy and neatness. The work can be done as a part of the regular school work or during spare time at home. It will be a recreation as well as a benefit.

Download or read book A Manual of Agriculture for the Eighth Grade Classic Reprint written by A. M. Richardson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Agriculture for the Eighth Grade No attempt has been made to make an exhau'stive list of exercises. It would be an easy matter to devote all the time allotted to the study of agriculture in the eighth grade to any phase of the subject. Exercises are included in practically every phase of this great subject. Teachers are urged to lay special emphasis upon that type of farming that is of most importance in their locality. All the exercises included are easy to work out and illustrate some principle necessary in the study of agriculture. No apparatus is called for that cannot be easily procured at little or no cost. In any good text book on agriculture the teacher will find ample material for additional exercises if they care for extra ones along any particular line. In the back of the book six blank pages have been left in which the teacher may insert additional exercises. In case the county superintendent or county agriculturist desires to add exercises so as to amplify the work for the agriculture of his county, they may be prepared on typewritten sheets about 517§x8$§ and the teachers in structed to paste them in the back of the Manual. The study of agriculture offers splendid opportunity for coopera tion between the home and the school and every opportunity should be taken advantage of. For example in the testing of seeds; have the pupils test seeds for any patron of the school who may care to have his seeds tested. In the spring, when you start the hotbed, have it understood that you are going to start different kinds of plants for transplanting, and that the parents are welcome to them. If the pupils have gardens at school, let them take their produce home. Have the pupils ask their parents practical questions that come up in their study. This will not only get the parents interested in what the children are doing, but it will give added interest to the children to know that they are studying things that they will be able to use and that older people are concerned about. Whenever possible to have school gardens, they will be found to be of great value, but they should be taken as a means to an end and not the end. Their value lies in the training and personal inspection that the teacher is able to give during the preparation of the ground; the sowing of the seed; and care up to the time school is out. After that they are seldom of any real value. They aid greatly in arousing interest. If every boy and girl could and would have a small garden at home, it would be better, because they could tend it during the summer, and have it where they could see it at all times. Most of these exercises have been tried out and used in the grade work of the Snohomish public schools. A few additional ones have been selected to make a more complete list, and to offer a somewhat larger field for selection by the teacher.

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 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.

This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
