OverviewExcerpt from The Principles of Agriculture Through the School and the Home Garden The boy of the rural district knows little of country life beyond its drudgery; the city boy knows little of the life of the city, and bot-h know little of world problems. The garden may be used as a factor to point towards the problems of each community and the state. For example, sugar beet raising in the garden, and the subsequent process in extracting sugar, are a part of the activities of many communi ties. It is a short step from the class process to the business man's process, to the work of the world in supplying its people with sugar. Again, capillary action that works in a tube of soil in the classroom is the same force at work in the garden and on the farm, of which the gardener and the farmer must in a like manner take cognizance. Thus the garden may be used not only to point towards the activities of the state, but the child takes part in these activities at school.
