Overview

Excerpt from Agriculture, Its Fundamental Principles A few years ago the study of agriculture was introduced into common schools as an experiment; now, in most states it is on the list of required studies a place to which its importance well entitles it. The subject is as interesting and as teachable as it is important, dealing in a practical way with the elementary principles of many sciences. The purpose Of teaching agriculture is not to make a farmer of each child, any more than the purpose of teaching literature is to make an author of each one. The study is, however, especially useful to children who will some day be men and women with good farms to maintain or poor ones to improve. The knowledge of the forces and laws which control plant and animal development raises the daily round of farm tasks from drudgery to intelligent labor. As labor is better informed, it is better directed; it brings larger returns in dollars and in happiness.
