Excerpt from Rural School Agriculture: Exercises for Use With Any d104-Book of Agriculture, or Without a d104-Book In the preparation of this little book two classes of students have been considered by the author. First, there are those who expect to become teachers in rural schools where agriculture is required, and who have had little training in agriculture, not only in the subject matter, but in methods of presenting the subject to students. This book then is designed in part for the training of teachers in normal and summer schools. The greatest barrier in the prog ress of agricultural education in rural schools is the lack of thoroughly trained teachers in agriculture. Secondly, there are those in rural districts, the ma jority of whom will continue to live upon the farm, and whose minds should be awakened to the fact that the problems of the farm are great enough to enlist all the brain power they can summon. Let us once establish in the mind of the farm boy an intel lectual insight into the problems of the farm, and the ever increasing exodus of the most enterprising young men of our rural districts to the city will be checked.
