Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Agriculture and Horticulture This Manual is intended particularly for the use of the teacher. The work herein outlined is expected to meet the needs of busy teachers who may not have had much training in the fundamental principles of the sciences underlying agriculture. Some training, of course, is necessary, but the wide-awake teacher who is willing to put forth some personal effort may accomplish something worth while, if the lessons here planned for his guidance are followed out. The topics are selected so as to be adapted to the average rural school of one teacher, and are sufficiently elastic to be made use of in any part of Ontario, even in the cities. The seasonal arrangement is made use of because, unlike many other subjects, practical agriculture must necessarily follow the seasons. The various duties per taining to the farm should be studied when they occur, not a month before or a month after. The lessons are outlined so as to require the laboratory method, and the pupils are expected to do agriculture, not simply read about it. Moreover, most, if not all, of the lessons are of such a character as can be taken up in a half-hour period, with a little forethought, or they can be left off, and concluded during a class period a day or so afterwards. It is not intended that each school should complete all the lessons given, nor is it intended to confine the classes strictly in every case to these lessons. If the teacher wishes to undertake practical exercises, other than those outlined, which he considers suitable to the locality, there could be no objection offered, so long as such exercises fall within the Course of Study.

Book Description
. Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book Description
Excerpt from School and Home Exercises in Elementary Agriculture Whenever possible each pupil should do his work independently. Sometimes it may be convenient to have two or more pupils do the work of an exercise jointly, but each should make his own observations, take his own notes and make his own record.
