Do you give the teacher who is
trying to teach some Of the funda-
mental elements of agriculture to
your child. the proper encouragement,
or do you laugh at the idea of your
son learning anything about agricul-
ture from books? The teacher may
not teach your boy to farm but he
can teach him the principles of agri-
culture and if you are the right kind
of farmer and parent you will help
him apply these principles to his
everyday things. Your schools will
be no better than you make them.
