Synopsis

""A Unit in Agriculture"" is a comprehensive guidebook for teachers and students in secondary schools, published in 1911 by Joseph Doliver Elliff. The book is divided into two parts, an outline course of study and a student's laboratory manual. The course of study covers a wide range of topics related to agriculture, including soil science, plant physiology, animal husbandry, farm management, and agricultural economics. The manual provides practical exercises and experiments for students to engage in hands-on learning, such as soil analysis, plant propagation, and animal care. The book emphasizes the importance of agriculture as a vital industry and encourages students to develop an appreciation for the science and art of farming. It is a valuable resource for educators and students interested in agricultural education and the history of agricultural practices in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The most significant fact in the educational world to-day is the demand that agricultnre be taught in the public aehools. I do not believe in that philosophy of edncation which would establish separate schools for the various industries and occupations of life. If we accept these Btatements, the conclusion is obvious: we should teach agriculture in existing high schools and we should do it now. We should teach this subject in existing schools because: 1. We are not ready to establish separate industrial oi trade schools in this countiy. Such schools, if maintainedat state expense, smack of European conditions and class distinctioiiB. 3. We could not meet the expense of a dual system of secondary schools, even if we were willing to do so. Most districts find some difficulty in providing adequately for existing schools. To divide our energies and resources between two systems of high schools, would mean the ultimate failure of both. 3. The existing high schools can easily be made to fill the demand. When agriculture is put on an equal footing with other subjecta, when teaehaw are employed who know and can teach the subject, and when they are given time and equipment to teach it, the problem will be solved. 4. Measured by any standards of educational aims and educational values, courses in agriculture will compare favorably with other courses taught. We should introduce this subject immediately, for the very excellent reason that the demand must and will be met. Some states have From sn address bj Dnui S.
