The plan of effort in this teaching was to visit two schools 

 during the day, one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon. 

 The arrangements were made in advance with the school commis- 

 sioner or the trustees, and the fact that the speakers were to be 

 at the school-house was ordinarily announced some days in 

 advance so that parents and friends could visit the school at 

 that time if they chose. The teacher was in every case willing 

 to omit the regular exercises for an hour or two in order that 

 our instructors might take up the work of object teaching with 

 the children. The motive in this work was to find out just how 

 the pupils could be reached by means of object lesson teaching, 

 and just how much interest they would be likely to manifest in 

 agricultural matters in case it were ever found to be desirable
