The progress of productive pedagogy, S. G. Rubinow (School aiid Society, 

 2 (1915), A'o. 51, pp. 879-884). — The author gives an account of the progress of 

 agricultural instruction, beginning with the organization of agricultural so- 

 cieties in 1785. 



The home project as the center v. the home project as the outgrowth of 

 agricultural instruction, C. G. Selvig (School Ed., So (1916), No. 6, pp. 4, 5).— 

 The author holds that home project work may more profitibly be organized as 

 an outgrowth than as the center of agricultural instruction. Students elect- 

 ing agriculture should have a complete course as organized for their com- 

 munity, embracing definite class, laboratory, and home work. It is a waste 

 of time and effort to treat each individual separately through his separate and 

 distinct project in home work, as the most important general principles, which 

 are of importance to all, can better be taught in the regular classes. Further, 

 while the requirement of some home project will iucrea.se the student's grasp 

 of all phases of instruction involved in it, it is impossible to embody all princi- 

 ples in any such project, and it must necessarily be considered somewhat in- 

 cidental in the course. Hence home project work should not be substituted for 

 class work, but should be organized into a closer relationship with theory and 

 practice. The author considers the productive home project, excepting perhaps 

 a garden or poultry project, of no interest to 80 per cent of the boys in Minne- 

 sota high-school classes in agriculture. Out of 104 of these schools reporting, 

 66 report some form of home project work, and 15 will require such work this 

 year.
