CORRELATING AGRICULTURE WITH THE PUBLIC- SCHOOL SUBJECTS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. By C. H. Lane, Chief Specialist in Agricultural Education and E. A. Miller, Assistant in Agricultural Education. PURPOSE OF THE BULLETIN. The club movement that is taking hold of the young life of our country promises to afford the teacher a most potent means of vital- izing the everyday work of the school. The problems of securing the interest of the pupil in the common-school branches, of teaching in an effective way farm economy, and of gaining the abiding inter- est of the school patrons seem to have in a large measure their solu- tion in the correlation of agriculture with the Common-school branches by means of boys' and girls' clubs.
