Synopsis

Excerpt from Harness Repairing

The development of vocational agricultural education work in secondary schools under the stimulation of the Federal Vocational Act has especially directed attention during the past few years to practical farm shop work for boys enrolled in these agricultural courses. There has been a rapid movement of this work away from the former manual training phases which characterized it in many ways in the early stages of its development. There has been an attempt to determine what tools, what constructions and what repairs are essential and desirable to the vocation of farming. It is expected that the farm shop work will involve the use of such tools as are justifiable on the farm, in such construction and such repair work as the farmer would ordinarily engage with profit.

Many years of experience in teaching, coupled with a broad contact with the actual field of farming, make his point of view particularly sound. His technical training has enabled him to put up a body of information in this book that shou…

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
