PREFACE 



The author further fondly believes that this book will 

 prove helpful to every farm and home demonstration agent, as 

 well as the people whom they serve. Likewise district and 

 state agents, specialists and all other extension workers will 

 find in it a professional manual and a standard to measure 

 devotion, inspiration and success. 



College and school classes will enjoy it and it may help 

 prepare them for life. 



In the principles he formulated and in the excerpts from 

 his writings and speeches, teachers will find that new princi- 

 ples of pedagogy have been enunciated and new methods of 

 education outlined. In fact, students of civilization, of society 

 and human betterment in general will want to know more 

 about the contribution of this agricultural statesman and 

 philosopher, for men of his type do not often come our way.
