Excerpt from Elements of Philippine Agriculture

The general principles and a large part of the facts to be taught in most subjects in the elementary schools are the same in every land. Some subjects might be taught in the Philippine Islands from American texts, except as they gain in presentation by the use of local examples and illustrations. With agriculture the case is very different. The subjects to he studied are almost all different from those in the United States; the climate is different, the economic conditions are different. A useful text-book must be adapted to all of these differences.

Our text-books are the products of evolution, those in use to-day having the good features hut, as far as can he helped, not the weaknesses of their predecessors. The teaching of agriculture in any large number of schools is so recent that this selection has not yet gone far. Even in temperate countries, there has not yet been time for general experience to decide what material, from the almost unlimited amount available, should he chosen for school use; the methods of presenting it are as diverse as the limited number of hooks permits, and a logical relation of the material seems as yet to have been less considered by most authors than the exercise of the eves and hands and the teaching of mere facts.

In a subject in which texts are still so undeveloped, and in the first attempt in a tropical field, it is inevitable that this hook will he far from what many will think it should he. Under the circumstances, I trust that their criticisms will he constructive, and that they will he sent to the author.

There is nothing unreasonable in good agriculture, and the fact that a text on the subject must he practical does not involve its being disconnected or illogical.
