In no pursuit is there more need for trained 

 intelligence combined with industry than in 

 agriculture ; no subject offers better oppor- 

 tunity for combining the cultural and voca- 

 tional elements in education. Taught in 

 the spirit of nature study, agriculture brings 

 the child into sympathetic relation with the 

 fundamental realities of his world and at the 

 same time gives instruction in the most basal 

 of all vocations. Yet there have been lack- 

 ing textbooks that would present the subject 

 to elementary school classes from the nature- 

 study point of view. Prompted by these 

 considerations, the author and the publishers 

 have prepared Nature-Stiidy Agriculture, and 

 it is their expectation that it will form a worthy 

 addition to the list of Books that Apply the 

 World's Knowledge to the World's Needs
