Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture in the High School There must be a philosophy of secondary agricultural education. Conscious aims must be set up and their desirability established, and means and methods worked out that shall be effective in securing the realization of these aims. Clearer ideas are needed of the peda gogical principles involved, and the aims in view need to be more clearly defined. In this day of special methods for the teaching of the various school subjects, there should also be one for the teaching of agriculture. So far as our knowledge goes, there is not a book that treats of the methods of teaching this subject in the high school. A consider able amount has been written on the methods of teaching nature study in the elementary school, and the agricultural colleges have their own peculiar methods adaptable to the needs of the college student, but the field embracing school methods in secondary agri culture is still a virgin one.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture in the Secondary Schools Agriculture in the established high schools is of more recent development than in those just described. The growth, however, in the number of schools attempting to teach the subject indicates a belief that the people desire such instruction. In some states the introduction of agri culture has been made possible by legislative aid; in others, by local and voluntary effort. I am glad to say that in no case, so far as I know, has this state aid been accompanied by a mandatory act compelling the teaching of agriculture. In 1908 the New York legislature passed a law for the encouragement Of industrial education by providing that any public school above the elementary grades that estab lishes such work shall receive from the state $500 for one teacher so employed and $200 for each additional teacher. Last year fourteen New York high schools were reported as teaching agriculture, and at least fifty more would be teaching the subject if qualified teachers could have been secured.

Excerpt from The Teaching of Agriculture in the Public Schools Here again one can give no intelligent answer until one knows definitely what courses in secondary agriculture involve, the laboratory equipment needed, and the training demanded of the teacher. Then one needs to know the actual equipment of our high schools and high school teach ers, and the possibilities for training such teachers as are needed for this work. All of the facts which are needed to answer intelligently these and other questions involved in the introduction of agriculture into our pub lic schools are easily obtainable. To blunder ahead without first study ing carefully these facts and providing a rational plan, based upon the results of the experience of others and upon a knowledge of the facts involved, would be an educational and political crime. This Bulletin attempts to give briefly these facts. While we do not propose to offer here a complete plan for the intro duction of agriculture into the public schools, we feel that the facts which are presented make clear at least the following points.

Excerpt from High School Agriculture The order of the main topics as given in the text is logical. But it may be varied to suit special conditions. A very ele mentary agricultural chemistry is given first, because the names of the elements directly concerned in plant life, and somewhat of a familiarity with them, serve as a basis for all agricultural teaching. It also renders possible the use for reference of a larger number of more advanced textbooks and articles by sci entists than would otherwise be available. Familiarity with the elements and with selected compounds is the purpose rather than adherence to applications that are directly related to agri culture. If chemical laboratories are accessible for use, some of the experiments given and others to be dictated by the teacher may well be performed by the student, but excellent results for the purpose here intended may be secured if the experiments are performed by the teacher before the class.
