AGRICULTURE 
A Textbook for Beginners

State Normal School, San Diego 
1B ieee 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.
