. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Rural School Leaflet 803 All teachers should read carefully pages 125-127 in the New York State Syllabus before taking up the work in nature-study and agriculture. During the first six grades in school, the out-of-door study should develop in the child the spirit of the naturalist — an all-round interest in the out-of-doors. If properly taught, at the end of this period the child interested in natural forces and objects will have acquired a spirit of patient inquiry and accuracy in observation. He will begin to realize the kinship of out-of-door objects and the possibilities of interest and resource in them. Teachers in country schools will find, however, that many of the boys and girls are not interested in nature-study from the viewpoint of the naturalist. The pupils should not be forced into this interest, even if they are in the lower grades, but should be allowed to turn their minds to the more practical side of the subjects. We have found very young children much interested in the commercial side of poultry raising, growing potatoes, and the like. Let us encourage these boys and girls, and, if the teacher will help, they will get the point of view of the naturalist. A field of timothy is as beautiful as a field of violets. Who has not felt his spirit quicken at the sight of a field of oats in the sunlight or in the early. Measuring beans grown in a school garden 'evening? Who has failed to see the beauty of pumpkins in the cornfield in the " blue October weather "? The work for the seventh and eighth grades as outlined in the elementary.
