Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from High School Agriculture The character of agriculture as a fundamental science, as well as the fact that it is the primary interest of a vast majority of the citizens of our country, makes it the most favorable vocational subject for general adoption in secondary schools. There are in present use many elementary treatises on this subject, the use of which has created a strong demand for a more advanced course in agriculture. Just what such a course should include arid how the work should be presented are questions that will be answered by many authors in many different ways in the next few years. Since agriculture involves the elementary principles of so many sciences, and since its study interprets so much of the student´s environment, making it full of meaning, we believe that the subject should be studied in the first years of the secondary course. It presents an interesting introduction to all the natural sciences and directs the mind of the student inquiringly toward the further study of the problems of these involved sciences. It answers in the very beginning the proper question of the boy, "Of what use is the study of chemistry, of botany, and of zoology?" The time has come to undertake the study of agriculture seriously, and not merely as a means to glorify country life and to arouse enthusiasm for the possibilities of farm endeavor. Students should feel that certain definite principles should be mastered and their application understood.
