Excerpt from Nature-Study Agriculture: A Textbook for Beginners The teaching of agriculture in grades below the high school has become well established in our schools, but opinions still difier as to the aims of the course and as to how the subject should be approached. The aim of an' elementary course in agriculture is well stated in a late report of the Iowa State Teachers' Association: to increase powers of appreciation, to promote general intelligence, to give a basis for the formation of educa tional ideals and the making of vocational choice, and to develop an appreciation of the possible applications of science to the useful arts. The most logical ap proach to the subject is through nature study, for the nature-study phase of agriculture, far more than the economic phases, deals with simple realities in the lives of boys and girls. Indeed, it is difficult if not impossible to dissociate the study of agriculture from the study of nature.
