PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. 631 



52 of this Ortic-0. Siiico it illustnito.s an iiiipoi'taiit step in the prog- 

 ress of the movement on behalf of agricultural education, it is given 

 herewith. (See also Development of the Text-book of Agriculture in 

 North America, p. 089). 



The following lint of i>ul>li(ation.s is not comprehensive; it is purposely very much 

 abridged. It ha.s not been the aim to lint all the good works published on nature 

 study, school gardening, and elementary agriculture. Such a list would he so long 

 as to be confusing to both teacher and pupil. The aim has been rather to suggest a 

 few (1) books which would aid the teacher just beginning nature-study work to get 

 the proper point of view, (2) supplementary aids for the teacher, (3) interesting 

 nature stories for pupils, (4) up-to-date elementary texts on agriculture, suitable for 

 pupils in the last two years of the grammar school and the first two years of the high 

 school, and (5) publications which might serve as the nucleus for a public-school 

 agricultural library.
