" Beginnings in Agriculture " has been planned in 

 accordance with the suggestions made by the Committee 

 on Industrial Education in Schools for Rural Communi- 

 ties, for the teaching of agriculture in the sixth, seventh, 

 and eighth grades. It gives a broad and general view 

 of the study of agriculture. The lessons impress the 

 child at once with the immediate personal value of the 

 study. They are concerned with the Affairs of Agri- 

 culture and the fundamental features of agricultural 

 study : Soil, Plants, and Animals. 



The subject-matter is so presented that it correlates 

 readily with the other subjects in the Course of Study. 

 It supplements the work in arithmetic, geography, his- 

 tory, and English. It presents the problem of agricul- 

 ture in a clear and simple manner, readily understood 

 by children. 



The treatment is constructive, the different parts 

 closely related ; the book is a unit. 



On each lesson there is given a list of problems cover- 

 ing a wide range of conditions that bring out strongly 

 the local applications.
