x INTRODUCTION. 



The teacher, the pupil and the farmer should know : 



1. What is needed. 



2. Where to get it. 



3. How to get it. 



The teacher should constantly have for one of his highest 

 aims, the building up of a well regulated public school library. 



The school should be on the mailing list of all the agricul- 

 tural institutions that are authorized by the government to dis- 

 tribute free information. 



All material received in the form of books, pamphlets and 

 bulletins should be classified and systematically arranged so that 

 they will be handy for reference. 



The first important step to be taken is to write to different 

 departments and ask for a circular giving the list of available 

 publications. 



Your congressman will assist you in getting important pub- 

 lic documents, and other free material which the National Gov- 

 ernment may have for distribution. 



Write to the United States Department of Agriculture, 

 Washington, D. C, and ask for the following: 



i. Circular 19. Publications of the Department of Agri- 

 culture Classified for the Use of Teachers. 



Read carefully the "Introduction" in Circular 19 and you 

 will understand how to secure the desired publication. 



Other Lists of Department of Agriculture Publications. 



These will be sent free upon application to the Secretary of 

 Agriculture: 



Publications of the Bureau of Chemistry. (Cir. 7, Division of Publica- 

 tions.)
