Excerpt from Agricultural Education for Teachers Prejudice, inertia, and misgivings are everywhere gradually yielding place to the new rural education. Country communities are demanding that their schools educate in terms of rural life; normal schools are rapidly instituting and perfecting departments for the training of rural teachers; and the colleges are offering courses in rural leadership, and in the teach ing of agriculture, home economics, and farm manual training. Tens of thousands of teachers have sud denly become conscious of the new demands that are being made on them. Not all may take advantage of the facilities offered by the higher institutions of learning, while many who take brief courses in sum mer sessions feel the need of keeping in constant touch with the new ideas in agricultural education along its fundamental lines of development.

Excerpt from Teaching Home Economics The object of this book is to offer suggestions for the organiza tion, administration, and teaching of the home economics studies. In the preparation of the book the authors have endeavored to adapt it to the various types of persons whose needs they hope to serve. Before the war these studies were recognized by some as an essential part of the general education of every girl. With the declaration of peace, they assume a new significance and appear as an indispensable part of her education. This is true because every girl needs instruction regarding better and more healthful living, and training in those practices which will enable her to live her daily life more intelligently, to rear her children more thoughtfully, and to serve her community and country more efficiently. These studies are needed by some because they prepare also for certain definite wage-earning vocations. This book draws the distinction between home economics studies as organized for general or liberal education purposes and such lines of specialized vocational training as may have grown out of them. It is the conviction of the authors that only through a closely woven course involving both theory and practice can the subject matter offered have any real value to the students. The book presupposes courses in the various phases of Home Economics, practical, scientific, artistic, economic, and sociological, of greater or less intensity. In other words, it is taken for granted that the student who will use it will be familiar with the scope of the field, and that her course in methods will serve as a means of evaluating and unifying the material she gains through her tech nical courses, and interpreting it in terms of elementary and secondary school teaching.

Excerpt from How the Land-Grant Colleges Are Preparing Special Teachers of Agriculture It was soon seen that this new type of teacher must be equipped to teach agriculture as a specialty, to adapt this teaching to a full four-year course in the secondary school, and also to teach in the rural school and in the elementary grades of the town or city school, and, in addition, to per form the functions of an extension worker for that portion of the community not in attendance upon school. The need of a teacher so specifically and yet so broadly trained immediately raised the question of the need of a suitable institution in which to train him. The adaptability of the normal school to the giving of an elementary knowledge of agriculture to those teachers whose major work is the teaching of other subjects has been shown (national Education Association Proceedings, 1913, pp. 516 but the training of a specialist in agri culture who is to teach that subject almost exclusively re quires a different type of institution. A people who had become accustomed to depending upon the land-grant colleges for their needs regarding agriculture naturally looked to those institutions for this new type of teacher. The land-grant colleges, with their innumerable and vital points of public contact and with a well-developed policy, not only of sensing the public wishes, but of responding to them, evolved steadily, but quite rapidly, facilities for train ing these special teachers of agriculture. To learn how these institutions as a class are perform ing this function is the purpose of this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from And That's the Way It Was, 1920-1980: The 60-Year History of Extension Home Economics Work in North Carolina Dr. Knapp was 70 years old before undertaking Farmers Cooperative Demonstration Work, and he came to it magnificently equipped, for it had been said that he spent 70 years preparing for 7 years of the great work of his life. At this time cotton was king of money crops on southern farms. The destructive boll weevil arrived in Texas in 1903 and spread rapidly over the cotton growing states, which brought financial tragedy to the farmers. A large appropriation was made by Congress to fight the boll weevil. The Secretary of Agriculture, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, and others were convinced that the demonstration method of teaching was the way to work toward destroying and controlling the boll weevil. On January 25, 1904 Dr. Knapp was directed to open offices in Houston, Texas. We have an Agricultural Extension Service today because of Dr. Knapp's revolutionary movement in education, and out-of - the-class room setting for teaching people on the farm and in the home to use practical and useful information proven by the demonstration method in solving problems and meeting needs. This successful method of teaching came about because of Dr. Knapp's concern and foresight for the southern farmers to improve agricultural and homemaking procedures. This adult educational movement caught quickly the attention of southern farmers, their wives, sons and daughters.

Excerpt from Home Economics in Rural Schools One pupil should act as bookkeeper for an assigned period and should send a weekly statement to each family. This gives invaluable experience in book keeping as well as in arithmetic. The third method is by all means the easiest method and results in a surety as to the food supply, but too often results in an exclusion from the lunch of some needy child or group of children who can not afford to pay in money, but who could have easily paid in some farm product. Before adopting this method the teacher should assure herself that it will work no hardship for any child and should furthermore make sure that, in eliminating the cooperation required under the second-named plan, she is not losing a valuable opportunity of arousing community interest in the children's welfare and in school activities. In the fourth method much of that which results from the second is secured, and it is an especially good way to secure supplies if all the children are too small to carry the extra foods and if they must walk too far to have extra burdens. The fifth way of securing food supplies is encouraged in some States and has been decided to be illegal in others. As home economics is required to be taught in the rural schools in certain States, the products of the class work may be used in the lunch and the cost charged to home economics instruction, as any other instructional material is charged to the general school expenses. This is not considered advisable. The business conduct of the lunch becomes part of its educational value, and this, together with the training in cooperation and in carrying responsibilities, is lost when the school authorities supply the food. Moreover, free food does not accord with American ideals and proves an offense to many school patrons. Home economics can not be properly taught in a school wherein there is an inadequate water supply. The very first lesson in food preparation includes a discussion of water as a food, as a cleansing agent, and as an essential in all personal hygiene. Hence, any plans for teaching home economics instruction must be abandoned in schools where children are expected to bring their day's supply of drinking water along with their cold lunches.
