Excerpt from The Wheat Industry: For Use in Schools

The Industrial Series, to which this text belongs, is designed for the purpose of making use of industrial studies in education. That the features of industry should be employed more as a means in education is now recognized. The organization of such data for use in schools is a problem, however, of considerable magnitude.

That the natural resources are of fundamental importance in shaping industrial development is generally understood. It is likewise known that the industries based on the resources have relations to the life and welfare of the people. Wheat is a resource of wide distribution and great importance in agriculture, manufacture, and commerce. This book seeks to make it of more use in education.

It is believed that industrial subjects of this kind are needed in the schools, because, first, they afford useful information, and second, they are in line with vocational training. Yet larger purposes lie in the fact that they stimulate interest, call for action and clear thinking, and thereby increase the efficiency of school work.
