FLANAGAN COMPANY CHICAGO Copyright 1909 BY A. FLANAGAN COMPANY PREFACE In offering this volume to the public the author has but one wish—namely, that it may supply a want in time of need and help some one over a difficult place. Most of the subject-matter in Parts One, Two, Three, and Four was written for and has been previously published in the Atlantic Educational Journal, with a view to assisting the rural teacher. The present volume comprises a revision of the articles published, together with a short account of one season's work in a school garden, and has the same object—that of aiding the rural teacher by means of a few simple suggestions.
