Teaching Agriculture in th
Public SchoolsJ
(Southern Farm Magazine.)
There is no subject that lend
itself more readily to the need
of the teacher, and it would be
comparatively simple matter t
provide a suitable course of ii
struction for the training c
teachers in school gardening au

principles of agriculture, plan
life and soil knowledge in
manner that would enable then
to make this one of the stronges
most useful and attractive edu
C"tional features of the work c
our public schools. How thi
might be brought about may b
considered more particularly an<
to better advantage in anothe
paper. The progress made in sev
eral states shows that with suil
able text books and properly in
spired teachers agriculture cai
be taught successfully, aud *thi
is enough for us to know at th
present time, as to the grade i
which the subject should b
taught, the third to eighthj'fr
town or city schools wouldj seei
to he the most desirable, and (
should constitute at least a week
ly exercise for all pupils'injrurs
schools. It may be taught in;cor
nection with animal studies,, ir
eluding insects, birds, quadru
peds, etc., or as an adjunct t
physical geography, or it may t
t right as a separate study, whic
wo Id be better and preferabl
al\. ,ys. It should be a beginnin
study, and greater |progress wi
be made if the child has not a
quired his notions of animals an
plants from books. Let him tear
in the beginning to analyze tl
plant for himself, to study tli
functions to the ultimate devel
opment of the plant or animal, i
the case may be, and in this wa
be can reason out for himself tf
many useful lessons that plan
and animals teach. Most of us t
