NATURE-STUDY 

 AGRICULTURE 



A Textbook for Beginners 

 By WILLIAM T. SKILLING 



Supervisor of Nature Study and Agriculture 

 State Normal School, San Diego 



HERE is a book written in a style so simple that it can 

 be used in the seventh grade. Yet it covers the essen- 

 tials so well that it may be used in any first course in this 

 subject. 



Practically every paragraph has a marginal note which the 

 student will find helpful in review and which the teacher 

 can easily use for questions to pupils. 



Every chapter has a list of Experiments to be performed and 

 a list of Observations to be made. The list of References 

 is valuable because the bulletins named are easily available. 



The book is especially adapted to the project method of 

 teaching agriculture to young people. The procedure is to 

 present principles in the classroom, demonstrating them by 

 simple experiments where possible, and also have each 

 pupil do work in the school or home garden. 



The book meets the needs and interest of the pupil. It can 

 be used in any part of the country. It is largely self-teaching. 

 The illustrations are unusually clear and appropriate. There 

 are 266 of them. Price $1.68
