Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture All well-established subjects of instruction in the public schools are more or less standardized and uni form throughout the country. The fields of science, mathematics, English, and history have been carefully outlined. Instruction in vocational subjects is not so well defined, and it may take many more years to determine the proper subject-matter and methods in order to secure desired vocational results from such instruction.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture in the High School There must be a philosophy of secondary agricultural education. Conscious aims must be set up and their desirability established, and means and methods worked out that shall be effective in securing the realization of these aims. Clearer ideas are needed of the peda gogical principles involved, and the aims in view need to be more clearly defined. In this day of special methods for the teaching of the various school subjects, there should also be one for the teaching of agriculture. So far as our knowledge goes, there is not a book that treats of the methods of teaching this subject in the high school. A consider able amount has been written on the methods of teaching nature study in the elementary school, and the agricultural colleges have their own peculiar methods adaptable to the needs of the college student, but the field embracing school methods in secondary agri culture is still a virgin one.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture in the Secondary Schools Agriculture in the established high schools is of more recent development than in those just described. The growth, however, in the number of schools attempting to teach the subject indicates a belief that the people desire such instruction. In some states the introduction of agri culture has been made possible by legislative aid; in others, by local and voluntary effort. I am glad to say that in no case, so far as I know, has this state aid been accompanied by a mandatory act compelling the teaching of agriculture. In 1908 the New York legislature passed a law for the encouragement Of industrial education by providing that any public school above the elementary grades that estab lishes such work shall receive from the state $500 for one teacher so employed and $200 for each additional teacher. Last year fourteen New York high schools were reported as teaching agriculture, and at least fifty more would be teaching the subject if qualified teachers could have been secured.

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.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Education for Teachers Prejudice, inertia, and misgivings are everywhere gradually yielding place to the new rural education. Country communities are demanding that their schools educate in terms of rural life; normal schools are rapidly instituting and perfecting departments for the training of rural teachers; and the colleges are offering courses in rural leadership, and in the teach ing of agriculture, home economics, and farm manual training. Tens of thousands of teachers have sud denly become conscious of the new demands that are being made on them. Not all may take advantage of the facilities offered by the higher institutions of learning, while many who take brief courses in sum mer sessions feel the need of keeping in constant touch with the new ideas in agricultural education along its fundamental lines of development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

But little legs cannot carry students of the nature-study age very far from home, and materials sent from a distance have the defect of being out Of their natural setting. From these facts it results that nature study is environmental and its materials mainly agricultural with suburban or rural pupils.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Next Step in Agricultural Education or the Place of Agriculture in Our, American System of Education an Address Nor would I put all the so-called industries in one class of schools and the professions in another. In a large sense all study is professional, and in a very large sense, indeed, it is also industrial. Some portion of the training of every indi vidual should be industrial, even manual, and another portion of the training of every individual should be distinctly mental, until habits of thought are formed quite independent of material activity. For these reasons, which are fundamental, I would not separate industry from any of our schools. I would make it an integral part of every curriculum, its proportion and character depending upon the prospective profession of the individual; but above all I would have the essence of all occupations, or at least of as many as possible, represented in the same school.

This book was released on 2019-02-03 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Life Education Success had hardly been attained in collegiate courses in agriculture when secondary schools for agricultural education began successfully to develop. In 1888 the University of Minnesota began an experiment at developing an agricultural high-school course. This experiment is of none the less value anal of all the greater interest because it was an outgrowth of the failure of agricultural courses of collegiate grade to gain a foothold in a State university. Just as Congress by its landgrant act forced colleges of agriculture upon the State, this agricultural high-school movement was injected into the school system upon the initiative of farmers and business men. At present between thirty and forty agricultural high schools have been established in the United States. In one line of country-lit'e education school men and nonschool men have together taken up the practical in school work. Farmers and educators together have entered upon the development of rural schools so as to have them cover agriculture and home economics as well as the Three R's. Thus the school people are especially championing the consolidation of rural schools, and the farmers are laying stress upon the introduction of agriculture into all rural schools. Both classes are rap idly coming to favor both propositions. The farmers are coming to see that agriculture can not be successfully introduced into the one-room rural schools, and the teachers are coming to see that agriculture and home economies are to have very strong positions in the primary country school curriculum alongside the Three R's.

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.
