Excerpt from The Principles of Agriculture Through the School and the Home GardenThe boy of the rural district knows little of country life beyond its drudgery, the city boy knows little of the life of the city, and bot-h know little of world problems. The garden may be used as a factor to point towards the problems of each community and the state. For example, sugar beet raising in the garden, and the subsequent process in extracting sugar, are a part of the activities of many communi ties. It is a short step from the class process to the business man's process, to the work of the world in supplying its people with sugar. Again, capillary action that works in a tube of soil in the classroom is the same force at work in the garden and on the farm, of which the gardener and the farmer must in a like manner take cognizance. Thus the garden may be used not only to point towards the activities of the state, but the child takes part in these activities at school.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
