A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a hand-book for dairymen who are ambitious to increase their profits. Primarily it is intended for pupils inS mith-H ughes vocational agriculture courses who desire to enter on life careers of successful dairy farming, or to combine dairying with growing one or more cash crops. I ts author is himself known to be a successful dairy farmer. He is, also, an expert in farm management, an experienced teacher of vocational agriculture, and a successful supervisor of teaching in this field. We are now agreed that education cannot be bestowed. It must be achieved. Pupil initiative, pupil planning seasonably done and applied by local survey and job analysis methods, pupil observations and experience instantly and soundly appraised with a view to betterment of methods and results, preferably in connection with sizeable projects on home farms covering complete cycles of production, these are fundamental factors in effective teaching by the project method. A ccordingly, in this, as in the other books for pupils in this Project Series, there is no long pull of text that might tempt pupil or teacher aside into mere memorizing. Each section, as a rule, provides for some activity, something originated by the pupil or something given the pupil to do. Questions are raised, references are given, problems are proposed, practicums, surveys, and contests are planned, which make it necessary for every pupil to bestir himself in order to get into his mind and his habits the substance of the course. But the treatment is intended to arouse and to develop the utmost initiative on the part of both pupil and teacher.
