Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pig Raising: A Manual for Pig Clubs Whatever may be the status of the project system of teaching other subjects, it is coming to be quite generally agreed that the home project offers one of the best methods for teaching elementary agriculture. The essentials of the home project plan are as follows: (1) A definite, detailed plan for work at home covering a season or more or less extended period of time; (2) it must be a part of the instruction of the school in agriculture; (3) the parents and pupils should agree with the teacher upon the plan; (4) the home work must have competent supervision; (5) records and reports of time, method, cost and income must be honestly kept and submitted to the teacher. In the study and practice of a vocational subject such as agriculture, we may distinguish three aspects, each involving distinct pedagogical characteristics and special problems of administration. The first includes the concrete, specific, or practical work, such as the actual making of a garden, the raising of poultry, or the growing of corn; the second involves a study of such technical sciences as botany, physics, chemistry, and the principles of the agricultural science relating directly to the subject of agriculture under consideration; the third aspect includes such general information as the history, economic values, and other interesting facts of that particular phase of agriculture being studied.
