>From the preface:
The authors of this little book believe that there is no line of
separation between the science of agriculture and the practical art of
agriculture. They are assured by experience that agriculture is
eminently a teachable subject. They are convinced that the theory and
practice of agriculture can be taught at one and the same time. They
see no difference between teaching the child the fundamental principles
of farming and teaching the same child the fundamental trughs of
arithmetic, geography or grammar. They hold that a youth should be
trained for the farm just as he is trained for any other occupation.
