Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). I070 Rural School Leap HORSES HORSE is one of the best subjects for the study of animal Hfe. Children can get knowledge of horses at first hand in both city and country. The ideal begin- ning of this study would be to have a horse in the school- yard or in front of the schoolhouse and have the teacher or some farmer in the neighborhood give a live lesson demon- strating facts as the lesson progresses. A lesson given in one school was most interesting from the fact that different types of horses in the community were lined up in front of the schoolhouse while the discussion of horses took place. This would not be impos- sible in many schools. Added interest might be obtained in giving this series of lessons on horses by the use of stories connected with horses; discussion of the training of fire horses; intelligence shown by horses under many dif- ferent conditions, and the like. The humane treatment of horses should also be considered. Before any of the facts in the following lessons are taken up for the schoolroom it would be well to get the children to make some observa- tions for themselves. The following list of questions might be placed on the blackboard and the children encouraged to try to find out answers to the questions. Ask them to make personal observations and in order to answer some of the questions to consult men in their community who have worked with horses. The questions given in the lesson are not more essential than others if the teacher would prefer to make out some other list. All questions for nature-study lessons should be such, however, that the children will be interested to find out the answers by watching the horses if possible. Questions 1. Where is the horse's knee joint? Which way does
