BIBLIOGRAPHY 



WITH ANNOTATIONS 



The titles are arranged in order of citation in the various chapters of the 

 text, except numbers 174 to 202. These are arranged in chronological order as 

 in L. H. Bailey's bibliography in his Development of the Textbook of Agriculture 

 in North America (171), the two lists making an almost complete bibliography 

 of North American textbooks of agriculture up to the present. 



The bibliography has been selected with the view of presenting typical 

 contributions on various phases of agricultural education in elementary and 

 secondary schools. No attempt has been made to make it complete.
