A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

By C. a. Prosser Secretary of theN ational Society for the Promotion OF Industrial Education This book is written primarily for pupils taking agriculture in elementary and secondary schools, and for pupils in the practical arts work of schools in rural communities; but it also has suggestions of great merit for farmers and others who have to deal in any way with the varied repair and construction problems of farm and village life. Not until the rural schools realize that their manual training and shop work must be entirely different from that of the city schools will they serve properly the vocational needs of the children who are to spend their lives on the farm or in the village. The aim of the practical arts courses in agricultural communities should be to give the boy at least an elementary experience in every form of manual work required to make an independent and successful farmer on his home acres. Such training will make the farm more attractive. It will also equip the farmer for more successful work in agriculture, both because he is prepared to meet the everyday demands of his calling and because he is saved the time and expense of relying on the village mechanic for much that the school should prepare him to do.
