A Book for Students and Teachers of Agriculture 



The need for agricultural instruction in high schools, lo- 

 cated in agricultural communities, or in towns or cities de- 

 pending largely upon agriculture for their prosperity, has 

 been established. The great problems of the present are 

 the proper organization of the high school agricultural 

 course and the training of efficient teachers. 



This new book solves these problems. It is the result 

 of experience in organizing and teaching agricultural work 

 in high schools, and of further experience in training agri- 

 cultural college students for the work of teaching in sec- 

 ondary schools. It discusses the function of the agricultural 

 course in the high school, the relation of the agricultural sub- 

 jects to other high school subjects, and the agricultural work 

 of each of the four high school years. The subject matter, 

 teaching methods, and equipment for each course are taken 

 up in detail, and suggestions are made as to community or 

 local extension work which may be done. Special atten- 

 tion is given to the character, use, care, and management 

 of the school farm.
