Excerpt from Laboratory, Field and Project Guide: In Elementary Agriculture Every sincere teacher of elementary agriculture is striving to make his teaching so practical that it will lead to worthwhile accomplishments. This means that he must not neglect laboratory, field, and project work. The purpose of this little book is to act as a practical guide to such teachers. All the exercises are arranged seasonally so that the various phases of the work may be studied at a time when they will mean most to a child. The exercises in this book are intended primarily to cover two years' work. They are equally adaptable, however, to courses of shorter length where more time per week is allotted to the subject. In both cases, a teacher should consider the outline so elastic as not only to change the order of the exercises when she considers it wise to do so, but also to include others which she considers better fitted to the particular needs of the community in which she teaches. In the book will be found enough material for laboratory, field, and project work to meet the requirements of most states. Throughout the book emphasis has been put upon those topics in which a child in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades can take part.
