Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Agricultural Geology for the Schools of Kansas The preparation of this little work, has been undertaken at the very urgent solicitation of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and at that of other prominent educational workers. Two objects have been held in view: First: To place in the hands of teachers a book which would enable them to meet the requirements for the "A" certificate, as given in Article VI, Section 6, of the Session-laws of 1876, which requires, among other things, that the applicant shall be familiar with "the elements of geology, so far as relates to the manner of formation of soils and their adaptation to purposes of production." Second: To arrange the work for use in the instruction of the more advanced pupils of the common schools. To the latter end, it has seemed best to keep the book entirely simple and untechnical in its character and language. Common names are therefore preferred to technical terms, and the latter, as a rule, are only used parenthetically.
