Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Corn Growing: A Manual for Corn Clubs
With our changing social conditions, new duties, formerly delegated to the home, have been thrust upon the school. This has led to the introduction of some real life subjects into the curriculum, among them agriculture. It is not possible, however, to get the desired results in teaching agriculture by using the same methods used in teaching other subjects. The teacher who attempts to teach agriculture alone and unaided in the schoolroom has not only shouldered a heavy burden but is not making the most of an opportunity.
The business of the school is to help to develop men and women of the right sort, not merely to teach boys and girls reading, writing, and arithmetic. If agri culture is to justify its place in the curriculum, it must contribute something more than mere facts.
