A written report to the teacher. — The records kept are to be made the 

 basis of a written report to the teacher upon the completion of the 

 project. This report may be in the form of a composition, or it may 

 be somewhat of the nature of a thesis. There is an excellent oppor- 

 tunity in this work to correlate the work in agriculture with the 

 work in English. Teachers and supervising officers will find among 

 these reports some which may be used to advantage in arousing 

 interest in the work. Photographic records will be found very useful 

 for the same purpose.
