Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Studies for Rural High Schools No course of instruction in the public schools is complete that does not give the learner a closer and more definite knowledge and understanding of his immediate environment. This is a truth that we have in the past largely overlooked in planning courses of study for our schools, particularly for our high schools. Languages and peoples that are dead and activities and institutions that are remote in time or distance are interesting and valuable and have a proper place in our high school programs; but their place should be a subordinate one. So strong, however, are the cords with which tradition has bound most of us that we have continued to act on the assumption that no education can be acceptable or in good repute that does not include a large share of these dead and remote things and that the study of "the life that now is" and the conditions and circumstances that immediately surround us cannot have a legitimate place in school instruction. The result of this is that the high schools are turning out many boys and girls who know something of Latin and German, something of the civilization of Greece and Rome, and something of geometry, but who know little or nothing about the community in which they live; they know nothing of its history, nothing of its traditions, nothing of its industries, nothing of its institutions, and nothing of its possibilties for the future. The life that goes on about them, with its needs, its failures, and its suggestions, makes no appeal to them, because they do not understand its significance. Our rural communities in West Virginia have greatly suffered in the past because the majority of their young people who have gone to high school and to college, have not returned to them to give them the benefit of their training and their increased ability. They have gone into the towns and cities of the state and into the towns and cities of other states, to seek opportunities there and to use there the ability that they have developed.

This book was released on 1912 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colebrook Academy is located in the town of Colebrook in a fertile and prosperous section of the Connecticut Valley, in the extreme northern part of the State of New Hampshire. The town has a population of about 2,000, and the section of the State is noted as one of the best agricultural districts in New England. At the beginning of its existence in 1832 the school received a grant of land from the State. For a time it was conducted as a private institution, but it had no endowment, and soon became a tax-supported school. Colebrook Academy retains its original name, but it is a public high school and is entirely supported by taxation. The school district in which it is located comprises only a portion of the town and has a population of about 1,200. From the time of its first approval as an accredited high school by the department of public instruction of New Hampshire, until 1910, the school had maintained the traditional college preparatory and English curricula. Up to that time it had been conducted in the original building in which it had begun its existence. In 1910 it was decided to reorganize the school on a new basis, with a view to providing a more efficient education for the country boys and girls in the section adjoining the school. Accordingly, a new building was constructed and a new program of studies laid out along modern lines, consisting of the following courses of study: (1) College preparatory; (2) commercial; (3) agricultural; and (4) domestic arts. In the work which Colebrook Academy is doing, three distinct aims stand out prominently: (1) A program of studies is offered which is adequate to meet the demand for universal high-school education in the section in which the school is located; (2) A large part of the program of studies is built up and organized around agriculture and home making, which are the leading activities of this particular community; and (3) The final purpose in the introduction of agriculture and domestic arts into the program as regular studies is to overcome a prevalent tendency to think of agriculture and home making as unworthy callings. An appendix presents: (1) Industrial equipment of Colebrook Academy; (2) Books used in teaching agriculture; and (3) Books used in teaching domestic arts. (Contains 13 plates.)

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adjustment of a School to Individual and Community Needs This study represents an attempt to apply to the organization and management of a school the principles of efficiency underlying scientific management in industry. The school under consideration, the Stanton-Arthur, comprises the kindergarten and the eight elementary grades, and constitutes a unit school organization in the large public school system of the city of Philadelphia, Pa. Consideration of the aims and methods of this unit school in the light of the aim of education and the efficiency principles reveals the necessity of modifications for detailed adjustment to the peculiar conditions surrounding the school. In Chapters II and III both external and internal conditions, which tend in any way to influence or circumscribe the work of the school, are analyzed in some detail. Social, economic, legal, financial and administrative conditions, having been definitely ascertained, are accepted as standard, and, together with conditions internal to the particular school and its pupils, are taken into account in shaping the aims, organization and operations of the school. The external standard conditions are further limited, for the present at least, by conditions internal to the school system, such as inadequate plant and equipment, the absence of efficiency reward for teachers, and insufficient provision for the most complete adjustment of content and method to the varying individual needs of pupils. Chapter IV comprises a study of the attainments of pupils so far as these may be determined by the use of standardized educational and psychological tests. Results reflect adverse conditions in many ways, and indicate the necessity of final adjustment of aims, methods and standardized attainments in order to secure a closer approximation to the achievement of the aim of education in each pupil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Education and the Consolidated School Much has been written of late concerning the Rural School Problem. All students of country life seem to agree that a radical readjustment of the entire rural educational and social system, to fit modern conditions, is imperative; but while a few of the leaders have hewn close to the vital spot, none so far have gone straight to the heart of the subject. The author is convinced that the time has come when we must insist upon a full program of reconstruction from the ground up, and begin to build at once. The gist of the problem is to establish a new school in which the essentials of a modern education can be taught. The old school, as still found in over ninety per cent of the rural districts, does not lend itself to such a program; and no amount of repair, addition, varnish, or veneer will transform it into an efficient, modern institution. Rebuilding is absolutely essential. Some friends of the rural school advocate comprehensive changes in the curriculum and justly demand that the training of country boys and girls shall culminate in a complete industrial and vocational education, adapted to twentieth-century life. They are agreed that rural teachers must measure up professionally and otherwise to their colleagues in our best school systems; they recognize that salaries paid must be adequate to insure high-class training and instruction; and yet - they fail to see that these things are impossible in an obsolete school system in which the first elements of success are wanting. The one-room school must go. It cannot provide the education to which country boys and girls are entitled and which the welfare of the country demands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Better Rural Schools The rural school presents the most important problem in American education. In it are more than six million children coming from one great industry, agriculture the most fundamental and important of all industries. Under present conditions this occupation calls for an unusual degree of intelligence and skill. It demands the highest type of business management and industrial ability. And with the success of agriculture is linked the welfare of every American citizen, whatever be his status or vocation. Yet the rural school, the sole educational opportunity of most of our agricultural population, has been grossly neglected. In the midst of universal progress, it has been allowed to lag behind town and city schools. Abandoned to relative inefficiency, it has failed to hold the loyalty and) support of its constituency. The victim of changing social and industrial conditions, it has dwindled in size, diminished in influence, and lost step with the spirit of the times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Improvement of the Rural School The improvement of the rural school is, at the present time, one of our most important educational problems. Although it does not present the same aspects in every state, no section is freed from the responsibility of endeavoring to, find its solution. It is not a new problem. Ever since the time of James G. Carter, and of Horace Mann, educators have called attention to the deficiencies of the coun try school. The counts in the indictment which have been brought against it through all these years differ but little, unattractive sites, miserable buildings, insufficient equipment, poorly prepared and poorly paid teachers, inadequate and incom petent supervision, unevenly distributed enrollment, irregular attendance, meager curriculum, and a poorly conducted school. Although it is true that much progress has been made in these particulars during the past three - quarters of a century, and although in certain localities conditions are con sidered fairly satisfactory, the need for reform is more strongly and more generally expressed to - day.

From the time of its appointment this committee has worked in cooperation with a special committee of the American Medical Association, and the fund available for the work of these health committees has consisted of small appropriations from the National Education Association and an equal amount appropriated each year by the American Medical Association.

At the meeting of the National Education Association in Chicago, July, 1912, the topic Sanitation of Rural Schools was selected for the two committees mentioned for their special study.
