neat, clean, and worth while. The National Department of Agri- 

 cultiire is doing a wonderful work among the boys and girls, by 

 means of the "Booklets." Mr. O. H. Bension has issued a circular 

 on /'Booklets" and how to make them. 



J["Here in the Pennsylvania State Normal, we have the young 

 people who are preparing to teach, make lesson plans on the differ- 

 ent subjects and then bind the lesson plans on one subject together 



Booklets of an Eighth Grade Pupil 



for a "Booklet. ' ' For example, we made lesson plans on Poultry — 

 Poultry Farming vs. other Farming, How to Select Hens for More 

 Eggs, How to Judge Poultry, How to Feed for More Eggs, Housing 

 Poultry, Running an Incubator, etc. We do the same with Cattle, 

 Horses, Soil, etc. The aim is to enable the teachers to go from the 

 Normal School with some lessons so organized and learned that 

 they can^teach them and teach them well. Sixty or one hundred 

 well organized lesson plans do not make a bad start for a young 

 teacher whose state requires her to teach Agriculture to the seventh 

 and^eighth grades at least two times each week.
