Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North Carolina Corn Bulletin, 1915 In preparing this little bulletin to help the teachers of North Carolina in presenting the very important subject of corn to their classes, the author claims no originality, but has referred freely to the many bulletins, books and pamphlets which treat of elementary agriculture, and the corn plant in particular. There are so many of these excellent publications and so much of their work is duplicated that it would be impossible to designate whence every particular item of information came. Credit has been given where practicable. There is one publication which deserves special mention, not only because I have quoted freely from it but because it has been a guide to me in a more general way. I refer to the book "Teaching Agriculture in the Rural and Graded Schools," by Prof. E. C. Bishop. Professor Bishop has done more than any other one man to develop the work of agriculture and domestic science among the schools of the United States. He was a pioneer in organizing boys and girls into clubs for rural activities. I am especially indebted to Professor C.B. Williams, of the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College for valuable suggestions and for his contribution of most important chapters. These, the teachers will find very helpful. The teachers should depend upon the North Carolina Agricultural College and Experiment Station, and the State Department of Agriculture for bulletins and advice. This is referred to under the topic, "Some Materials to Help in the Study of Corn." This topic, together with those on "Systematic Preservation of Information" and "Industrial Work for Pupils" should be read by teachers before beginning work since they will wish to make immediate use of the suggestions.
