Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Training School Quarterly, Vol. 3: April, May, June, 1916 There are a few teachers of the old line subjects who have a sort of abhorrence of anything new in the school curriculum. They are often inclined to sneer at such courses because they are not along the lines which they have been teaching, or which they themselves have taken in high school or college courses. Students following the classical, literary, or Latin scientific courses are often inclined to look with disfavor upon the courses which may include agriculture, manual training and home economics. They show their disfavor and make fun of the students who pursue such courses. Students taking agriculture are given opprobrious epithets, being called hayseeds, farmers, and even more obnoxious names. They sometimes make fun of students taking these courses, calling them snap courses, accusing them of taking such work because it is easy. Perhaps such students are not to be blamed, for they see country life only from their own limited experience and most of the agriculture with which they are familiar is, perhaps, the old line agriculture which does not appeal to them in any way. They, of course, fail to realize that in the South eighty per cent of the people are agriculturists, and that farming is the fundamental occupation of the whole country and the whole world. On the other hand, in many places we find the agricultural courses are thorough and yet popular. Students find much value in them and pursue them partly because others are doing so, but chiefly because of the real value and interest found in them.
