Abstract

THE question of the introduction of instruction in agriculture or any other definitely technical subject into our elementary schools is one which has been much debated recently, but the opinion of most of those who have any working knowledge of teaching is very strongly against it. Agriculture in schools is very likely to become a book subject; it is far preferable to take up some question like the growth of a plant, which admits both of simple experiment on the part of the pupil and of abundant illustration from practical life, which again supplies a basis of reasoning and knowledge for anyone who happens in later life to be concerned in the raising of crops.
