Geography, nature study, and agriculture in the elementary schools, 

 C. L. Coon I A". C. Statt Supt. Pub. Tnstr., Teachert? Bui. ?, pp. SS .—The three sub- 

 jects considered in this bulletin are treated with reference to the common bearing 

 they have upon the natural environment of children. 



In geography such common things as soil, plums, animals, and weather are con- 

 sidered in their general relation to man; in nature study the arousing of the inn 

 of children in plants, animal.-, weather, and the soil; and in agriculture the culture 

 of the fields, or weather, soil, plants, and animals, considered as agencies in affording 

 man shelter, food, and clothing. With this interrelation of geography, nature stud) . 

 and agriculture in mind suggestive outlines are given for geography in the firsl 7 

 grades of the elementary school, for nature study at different seasons of the year, and 

 for agriculture with a text-book as a basis for the work. There is also a discussion 

 of school-garden work and a list of hook- on nature, geography, and agriculture for 

 teachers and older pupils.
