This book is designed to be
used as an elementary text book or
manual of agriculture in the public
schools Mr.. Hunnicutt is an expert
enced writer on agricultural topics, be-
ing the editor of the Southern Guilt
vator, and he is also a practical farm
er. The book follows the approved
text, book plan for the teaching of
science, being divided into chapters
that gradually develop the theme. At
the close of each chapter topical ques-
lions are arranged to assist the child
in grasping the chief thoughts. An
idea of the scope of the book may be
gained from the chapter headings:
Composition and Kind of SOIL"
Preservation and Improvement of
Soil,' Uses and Abuses of Water on
the Farm" Farm Implements, 4"
Farm Animals" Truck Farming. -
Dairy Farming and Bee Keeping"
Farm and Public Roads," THE
Farmer as a Citizen" etc. In the
preface Mr.. Hunnicutt says of his pur-
pose in writing an agricultural text
book: IF farming ever reaches the
place among other callings which it
should have, it will be when we have
taught our children it's beauty and it's
rank in the schoolroom. Agriculture
should be taught in every school.
The book is a timely and valuable one.
An effect of it will be to draw the
attention of young men in the coun-
try more strongly to the fact that there
is chance for a career in the coun-
try as well as in the city. There is
a freedom of care on the farm that
can never be had in a business or
valuable one and will be productive of
much good.
