Book excerpt: Excerpt from Teaching of the Elements of Agriculture in the Common Schools: Address One might reasonably assume that this is an extract from an address before one of our farmers' institutes, or has been taken from a lately issued report of some department of agriculture, and that they are the words and opinions of some leading agriculturist. Not so, however. These are the words of Egerton Ryerson, the founder of the public school system of Ontario, taken from the introduction to his text book on agriculture for use in Ontario public schools, and written in 1870. I can well believe that twenty-five years from the present some student of the educational and economic history of Ontario will be hard at work studying out and trying to explain why so little progress was made in general agricultural instruction in that Province during the years from 1870 to 1899. During that period four text books at least were available and various attempts weremade at encouraging the work; but in 1898, as far as Ontario was concerned, we were no further advanced than we were in 1870.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Agriculture The interest in the teaching of agriculture is but a part of a much larger question, - the movement for teaching by means of things that have come within the student's experience. Laboratory work and all manual work are but a part of the same movement. The primary purpose of teaching agriculture is not to make farmers. It is ahuman-interest subject. The underlying reason why such teaching is desirable is because it brings the schools in touch with the home life - the daily life of the community. A large part of our teaching has had no relation whatever to our daily lives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Agriculture: A Text Book for Public Schools There is a general movement all over the United States in the direction of placing Elementary Agriculture in the course of study for country schools. In order to secure a county teacher's certificate in Wisconsin, the applicant must pass an examination in elementary agriculture. The Missouri Agricultural College and the Missouri normal schools are carefully training teachers to present this subject in country schools. In South Carolina it is taught in the eighth and ninth grades of the common schools. In Nebraska the applicant for second-grade certificate is required to pass an examination in the elements of agriculture. Elementary Agriculture finds a place in the common-school course of study for the state of Illinois, and is even taught in some of the schools of our large cities. These instances suffice to show that the subject is receiving widespread attention. During the past few years there have been several excellent books written on the subject of Elementary Agriculture for rural schools, but they are of necessity somewhat local in their treatment of the subject. Most of these books are from the cast and south, a few from the middle west, but none from the northwest.

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.

I find this conclusion more impressed upon me, that the greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion- all in one." Ruskin. 2. Learning Things: - "Learning those things in nature that are best worth knowing, to the end of doing those things that make life most worth living." Hodge. 3. Doing Things: - "The daily doing cf needful things with regularity andefficiency is in itself highlyeducative. It constitutes a good and necessary part of a liberal education, and without it no system of education is safe. It teaches, first of all, personal responsibility for things to be accomplished, whereby the child learns the useful lesson that things do not 'just happen', neither do they 'do themselves' - " Davenport. Place of Nature Study in a System of Education. 1. We are not, neither shall we be, free from the need of and interest in the three fundamental human requisites, viz. food, clothing, and shelter. The poet and the philosopher cannot prosper on rhyme and speculation alone. They, as well as the scientist and the laborer, must have life before they have their own peculiar lives; they, too, must be fed, clothed and sheltered. we have here a center in which the interests of all humanity, converge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Chemistry: As Applied to Agriculture The importance of placing before the youth in our schools, as well as in the hands of our farmers at their homes, the means of acquiring a knowledge of the elements of the science and art of agriculture, has long been acknowledged by teachers and others. Such means have already been available to those who had acquired a limited knowledge of chemistry; but the most valuable works, containing the facts most useful to the practical farmer, have been too voluminous and expensive for his own use and means, or too technical for the use of his sons while in the common schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Principles of Agriculture: A Text Book for the Common Schools The little volume herewith submitted for the use of the school children of the Southwest is the outcome of many years' study of the problems of rural school agriculture. Agriculture, as a school subject, is new, and no guiding standards have yet been generally recognized which limit the method or scope of such a text. A careful review of the many texts that have been published during the last ten years shows a wide range of opinion as to the function of such texts. Some are mere handbooks, dealing with the practical work of agriculture; others are only a series of short chapters on botany, chemistry, physics, zoology, meteorology, etc., without references to applications. Our own ideas are that the primary object of a text on agriculture, intended for the common schools, is to satisfy the natural interest of all children about the whys of common farm conditions. This is the first step in developing an intelligent theory which will guide practice. While the idea of teaching agriculture is very old, it is only i recent years that it has come to be a large factor in the system of general education. A word of introduction, therefore, may not be out of place. A number of agricultural colleges and special schools for agricultural instruction were established between 1840 and 1860. Some were privately endowed, others supported out of public revenues. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
