Book Description

Excerpt from Fundamentals of Agriculture Every subject 1n this book 1s written by an expert in his line. This idea was carried out in order to furnish the student with the best information that could be oh tained. The editor thought it would be better to have authorities treat of the various topics rather than write the book alone, as there are very few men who are competent enough to warrant their writing the best text book on agriculture. A 11st of bulletins and reference books 1s appended at the end of each chapter. The teacher should send for the bulletins (which can be had free of charge) some time before the particular subject 13 assigned, in order that fuller information may be offered to the students than 1s included 1n the text. The teacher should endeavor to present the subjects in season, and not necessarily in the order they are given, so that field trips may be taken to impress the topic or topics on the student's mind and to excite in terest. In propounding questions to the class original ity should predominate. At the end of most sections a few questions are asked to give the teacher an idea of what 1s required. Field experiments should be con ducted, and the text should be followed only to furnish the student with the principles or working knowledge.
