APPENDICES 



* In rural schools where other forms of manual 

 training are perhaps out of the question for the 

 present, practical agricultural work supplies the 

 motor training needed by all and essential to the 

 motor minded." (Page 125.) 



"School gardens possess all these advantages 

 of manual training, with the added ones, over 

 some forms of this discipline, of their feasibility 

 almost anywhere, of easier inculcation of the sense 

 of ownership, of working with the fundamental 

 instead of the mere accessory muscles, and of 

 being essentially out-of-door work/' (Page 41 .) 



"School gardens have the advantage over all 

 other school work of promoting the health of the 

 child, especially in cases of incipient tuberculosis/' 

 (Page 125.) 



Finally, to quote once more from Mr. Jewell's in- 

 vestigation concerning agricultural educa- 

 tion: 

 "A study of the laws of nature may well teach 

 one that 'whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he 

 also reap,' in his life as well as from the soil, 

 in working through a long season, side by side 

 with others, the child gets his earliest and best 

 instruction in social responsibilities, in what he 

 owes to his neighbor, one of the most important 

 things an individual of to-day has to learn." —
