A book that piresents a first study in agriculture based on sound edu-

cational principles. It stimulates and directs the pupils in such a manner

that their mental powers are developed by their own voluntary eflforts.

The material in the book deals alone with soils and plants. The

studies are put in the form of experiments to be worked out carefully by

the student in the schoolroom or at home, the results recorded in system-

atic form in a notebook.

Many suggestions are given throughout the book and at the end in an

Appendix regarding the successful management of the course and the

book is from start to iinish a delightful combination of practical agri-

culture and good pedagogy.
