Excerpt from The Relation of Agricultural Education to Farm Organizations When I speak of education I do not mean simply that education secured in the schools of our country, although I am thoroughly convinced that of all the forces which contribute to a sane and sen sible education, the most important and mose fundamental force is our school system. There are people who learn to read and write and think correctly outside the classroom. Neither do I mean that education stops with the ability to read and write and think clearly. Considerable wisdom is acquired while learning to do these things, but real education depends upon the use to which this ability is put. Our Government is coming to a keener appreciation of this fact and we are extending our system of educa tion to help citizens to use this ability to think better. The Govern ment's recognition of the necessity of continuing education beyond the classroom 1s shown in the appropriations it makes for the dis semination of new information to adults. Straight thinking can not be done unless up -to-date information is available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Agricultural Education in the Public Schools: A Study of Its Development With Particular Reference to the Agencies Concerned This work comprises a series of studies, carried on since the fall of 1909, on agricultural education in the elementary and secondary schools of the United States with special reference to the various agencies promoting it. Much care has been taken to make the bibliography representative of the literature of the different phases of the subject, and to annotate each title so as to give the reader a brief account of the original article or book. This seemed more essential than to undertake to give even an approximately complete summary of the literature of the subject, especially since such a summary would include many times the number of titles cited. The writer has attempted, as the subtitle indicates, to bring i together the work of the various agencies promoting agricultural reeducation in the public schools, and to show the contribution each has made or is making to its development. In this new and rapidly developing subject of education it is important for all who are interested to know the methods used and results obtained in different parts of the country, and to recognize the extent of public interest as expressed in federal, state, and private activities in its behalf. The demands for instruction in agriculture in elementary and secondary schools have grown so rapidly as to present a serious problem to teachers, both as to readjustment of their school work and as to their own preparation to teach the subject. If this account of the development of agricultural education, such as is actually taking place in different parts of the country, with illustrations of types of instruction, and with sources of further information, may be of some service to the teachers of our rural schools, or to others interested in rural education, the writer will feel well repaid for all his efforts.

Excerpt from The American System of Agricultural Education The American System Of agricultural education includes a num ber Of different classes Of institutions Which, taken together, provide all grades Of instruction in agriculture from graduate courses lead ing to the doctor's degree to nature-study courses in the kindergarten and the primary school. These institutions may be considered under four general heads: 1) Departments Of original research and graduate study in agriculture, (2) agricultural colleges, (3) secondary schools Of agriculture, and (4) elementary schools. The secondary and elementary instruction in agriculture is Of comparatively recent development, but is becoming an important factor in American education. The graduate and collegiate courses, on the other hand, are well established and take rank With the best agricultural courses in the much Older universities and colleges Of Europe.

Excerpt from Progress in Agricultural Education Extension There are many problems connected with the extension movement of education in agriculture - the utilization of existing organizations, such as the granges, the boards of agriculture, horticulture, and forestry, and similar societies, county agricultural societies and associations, the agricultural press, and farm clubs; the preparation of teachers for giving instruction and advice in agriculture, both for the farmers' insti tutes, the normal and high schools, and the rural public schools.

Excerpt from Status of Organization and Administration of Agricultural Education Among Negroes The land-grant act of 1862 was the beginning of a new era in the American system of higher education. Prior to that time the curricula of institutions of higher learning offered little more than those subjects which would properly fall into the category of classical studies. Since the curricula in those institutions were designed primarily for persons who wished to prepare for the professions of law, medicine, the ministry, or teaching in the purely academic fields, the teachers trained in those insti - tutions had no opportunity to acquire the necessary information and profes - sional training to teach agriculture and the closely related sciences, all of which.are subjects of vital impdrtance in the programs of land - grant insti tutions.

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 The Next Step in Agricultural Education or the Place of Agriculture in Our, American System of Education an Address Nor would I put all the so-called industries in one class of schools and the professions in another. In a large sense all study is professional, and in a very large sense, indeed, it is also industrial. Some portion of the training of every indi vidual should be industrial, even manual, and another portion of the training of every individual should be distinctly mental, until habits of thought are formed quite independent of material activity. For these reasons, which are fundamental, I would not separate industry from any of our schools. I would make it an integral part of every curriculum, its proportion and character depending upon the prospective profession of the individual; but above all I would have the essence of all occupations, or at least of as many as possible, represented in the same school.
