Excerpt from A Reader of Elementary Tropical Agriculture: Adapted to Farming in the Philippine Islands

The objective points of this little work are: primarily, to furnish an elementary text book on agriculture, so modified as to meet the requirements of farming in the Philippines, secondly, to so collate and popularize the information given that it will prove available as a school reader, and, lastly, to amplify some closely correlated matters of domestic and sociological economy that it seems desirable to impress, for general educational purposes, upon the Filipino youth of both sexes.

The subject is one that, popularly or in no other way, can be made to appeal to the very young, nor is it desirable, from an educational standpoint, that the study should enter into the curriculum of children under twelve to fourteen years. On this account, the subject is treated in the style that conforms to the requirements of a third or fourth grade school reader.
