Excerpt from Soils and Plant Life: As Related to Agriculture This publication represents a desire on the part of the senior author to present a first study in agriculture for rural, grade, and high schools, based upon sound educational principles. An enumeration of a few of these principles will serve as a key to the plan of the book: 1. Pupils must be led by easy steps from the known to the unknown. 2. One thing at a time must be taught and this one thing must be thoroughly understood. 3. Real progress in education depends upon a pupil's ability to discern agreements and differences. 4. A teacher should stimulate and direct, but all education comes from the pupil's voluntary effort. Our purpose in the pages that follow is to stimulate and direct the pupils in such a manner that they will proceed by "easy steps from the known to the unknown" and that their mental powers will be developed by their own voluntary efforts. If this book is to be merely one from which a certain number of pages are assigned to-day to be recited in a parrot-like manner to-morrow, it must prove a complete failure. If the exercises are performed as the authors have intended, a few - and only a few - set rules will be observed: First - The pupil must understand clearly before beginning just what he is setting out to do. Second. - He should follow the directions carefully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
