The interest in the teaching of agriculture is but a part of a much larger question, — the movement for teaching by means of things that have come within the student's experience. Laboratory work and all manual work are but a part of the same movement. The primary purpose of teaching agriculture is not to make farmers. It is ahuman-interest subject. The underlying reason why such teaching is desirable is because it brings the schools in touch with the home life — the daily life of the community. A large part of our teaching has had no relation whatever to our daily lives.
