Excerpt from Dr. Robertson's Work for the Training of Canadian Farmers J a m e s Wilson Robertson, a farm er's son, was born in Dunlop, Scotland, in 1857. F to m fourteen to seven teen he was clerk to a firm in Glasgow, where he learned much that has since stood him in good stead.

Excerpt from The Training of Farmers The so-called rural problem is one of the great public questions of the day. It is the problem of how to develop a rural civilization that is permanently satisfying and worthy of the best desires. It is a complex problem, for it involves the whole question of making the farms profitable (that is, of improving farming methods), perfecting the business or trade relations of farming people, and developing an active and efficient social structure. As the problem is complex, so there is no simple or easy solution. The present status is, of course, a phase or stage in social evolution; and the improvement of the condition must be a process of further evolution.

Excerpt from Farmers' Reading Courses NO apology is needed for the extension movement; yet there are those who say that persons who will not make the effort to learn of their own volition should be left in ignorance. There are certainly two considerations which make it imperative that such persons shall be taught - the consideration of altruism, or regard for one's neighbors; the consideration or the desire that the State shall prosper. If prog ress is desirable, then the extension movement must abide. Every farmer should be awakened. I suppose that it will never be possible to discover which was the very first reading-course movement for farmers. One can not read far in the history of the agricultural colleges without finding germs of the idea - the desire that farmers be given more and better reading matter. This idea was expressed before any of the agricultural colleges came into being. It was thought, however, that the normal work of the college would spread sufficiently the reading habit.

This machinery embraces itinerant lectures and experiment station bulletins and reading courses. As early as 1882 President James Mills, of the Agricultural College Of Ontario, outlined a reading course for farmers. The council of agriculture and arts for the province cooperated in the enterprise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
