Book Description

Excerpt from Elementary Exercises in Agriculture For a long time the author has felt the need of a book to put in the hands of the rural teacher as a guide in showing the children the real value of agricultural work in the laboratory. The true teacher feels that all the explanation needed should be given and no more. It should be given in a plain, clear-cut way. The teacher can take this book and use it even if she has not had any work on agriculture. The equipment is simple, so simple that any country school can get it. The things that are used are also practical. This book aims to tell of the things that the child should know in order to become interested in the farm life. The school work is made significant by having the children actually doing the things themselves. The farmer demands that his boy should know how to do things, and there is no better place than the laboratory to do many of the things the child needs to be taught. It is to provide for the doing of these things that this little book is written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
