Excerpt from Farm Shop Work in Pennsylvania: A Study of Repair and Construction Work as Carried on by Farmers, and as Practiced in the Vocational Agriculture Schools of Pennsylvania With the growth of vocational agriculture in the secondary schools there has developed, especially within the last few years, a widespread interest in the problem of the farm shop. State supervisors of agriculture, and men in charge of teacher training work in agricultural education are zealous in giving impetus to the movement. It is recognized, in the first place, that there are a multiplicity of aims or purposes in the minds of teachers giving this work. What teachers of farm shop work need most to do at this time is to analyze the subject matter used into its significant elements. This analysis should be made on the basis of relevance to the promotion of a better and more productive agriculture. We ought to know in terms of the region we serve, what kinds of work are most frequently performed, and distinction needs to be made between construction work on the one hand as distinguished from repair work on the other. The following study was made by Professor F. Theodore Struck, and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at Columbia University. It represents results obtained in large part through a survey made through the pupils pursuing vocational agriculture in every community of the State of Pennsylvania in which vocational agricultural education was given. The object of these local surveys was to find out the exact nature and extent of the kinds of agriculture carried on, and to sec what specific kinds of repair and construction work are performed by the successful farmers of these regions. This was desired in order that there might he available a fact basis for determining essential and significant elements that need to be covered in teaching farm shop work. It is felt that this study is of considerable value to teachers and supervisors of farm shop work in Pennsylvania. The Department of Rural Life of The Pennsylvania State College is publishing it with the hope that it may prove of interest and value to teachers of farm shop work, to those concerned with the training of agricultural teachers, and to supervisors and administrators of agricultural education in the several states.
