The library is a most important factor in teaching vocational agriculture. It is of greater importance in schools where the home project is made the basis of the work in agriculture. The library should be made available to the students in agriculture. In schools where the main school library is not accessible at all times, it will be found advantageous to keep the agricultural books in the agricultural room . They may be used here during the period designated for super- vised study. Good books are very desirable and effective tools in the hand of the discriminating teacher who attempts to direct the thought and activities of the community of which he is a part. No one has a better opportunity to help direct the reading habits and practices of the community than the teacher of vocational agriculture. The high school may render a distinct service to its constituency by providing a library on agricultural interests and arranging for its use under the direction of the teacher. This bulletin is intended to suggest a bibliography of books worthy of a place in the high school library. It is neither possible nor advisable to include all books published on the various topics. Book catalogs furnish such lists. This list has been prepared in cooperation with the various departments of the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Credit is due the members of these departments who carefully criticized the lists and offered many suggestions. The books are listed according to divisions which have been given literal designations. Each book bears a number as well as the letter which names the division; thus A-3. A list of publishing houses will be found in the back of the bulletin. Blank spaces are left in each division where the names of new books may be listed. The bibliography should be kept up to date. Lists of new books may be obtained from time to time from the Department of Agricultural Education, University of Illinois. NOTE TO TEACHERS. This bulletin will be adopted for use in all departments of voca- tional agriculture in the State, and the letter and numeral key assigned to each book will be used by all pupils in reporting reference readings to the teachers, and by all vocational teachers in their reports to the State Supervisor. For example “Del.” will be the key to use in referring to “Soil Fertility and Permanent Agriculture,” by Cyril G. Hopkins. This bulletin is a very complete and thorough bibliography, and by adopting a uniform system of naming and reporting these books, less confusion and better results in general will obtain. I suggest that these books on your library shelves be numbered with the letters and numerals here adopted. Aretas W. Nolan, Supervisor of Agricultural Education. 7 A.— AGRICULTURE.— General. A 1.

The use of the laboratory manual is somewhat limited in the teach- ing of agriculture by the project method, unless the manual is confined to particular subjects or divisions of agriculture. There are a few such manuals on the market that vocational teachers should have in the library if not in the hands of their pupils. There are also a number of manuals on the market covering the general field of agriculture. These manuals suggest exercises which may be carried on in the laboratory. Many of them take up a wide field of subjects from the classifying of insects to the feeding of animals. The manuals here listed will be found helpful as guides for laboratory exercises. Na 1.

Na 9 Na 10 BULLETINS AND CIRCULARS. The College of Agriculture and Illinois Experiment Station issue technical bulletins giving experimental data which has been obtained from Illinois experiments. These bulletins are free to anyone within the state and may be obtained by addressing the Experiment Station. It is not a good plan for teachers to send for large numbers. Pupils should be encouraged to send for the bulletins which bear directly upon their particular problems. Circulars are also issued. The circulars are more popularly written than the technical bulletins. Lists of available bulletins may be obtained from other experiment stations. Lists of bulletins published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., may be obtained by addressing that department. There is not space in this bibliography to list the bulletins which are thought to be most helpful to the teacher. Lists of bulletins on any one particular subject may be obtained from the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. The high school library should contain a large number of well selected bulletins to be used as special references. SPECIAL PAMPHLETS AND CIRCULARS. There are numerous valuable pamphlets and circulars issued by various industrial companies. Certain companies, such as the Inter- national Harvester Company, have spent large sums of money in establishing an educational department. Most of the material pub- lished by these companies may be obtained free of charge. 30 PICTURES AND SPECIAL PAMPHLETS. Excellent pictures may be obtained from many of the breed asso- ciations. Publications are issued by many of these associations giving reports and interesting discussions concerning their particular breeds. Teachers should write to the breed associations for special information which is needed by boys in their project work. The addresses of the various breed associations may be obtained from the Department of Agricultural Education, Urbana. The list is not published in this bulletin because the addresses change frequently. FARM JOURNALS. 1. Prairie Farmer. — Prairie Farmer Pub. Co., Chicago. 85c. per year, issued every other Saturday.
