This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consolidation of Rural Schools With and Without Transportation This plan of transporting pupils at public expense from out lying districts was first authorized in Massachusetts in 1869, where they found that it was cheaper to transport the pupils in the country to the well established village schools than to support even a poor grade of separate country school. In other States the rural districts which have no central village soon adopted the plan of consolidating their own little scattered rural schools, sometimes with, sometimes without, transportation. Among the States now practising consolidation are Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ver mont, Maine, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota. It is practised also in Victoria, Australia, with great advantage. In all these states it has proved successful and is rapidly spreading.

This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Township, District, Consolidated, Town and City Schools of Indiana With the development of the statistical and survey methods of investigation have come a number of studies which bear more or less directly on the problems of the rural schools. One of the most recent and intensive of these and one that is devoted entirely to rural education is that made by Dr. Burnham. (see his Two Types of Rural Schools.) In this he gives a careful survey of the economic and social conditions of the communities in which the schools are located before attempting an intensive study of the schools. His conclusions indicate that some of the generalizations concerning the merits of the consolidated schools based on general impressions are not well founded. This study is especially valuable in two respects. (a) It presents correlated data concerning the two types of rural schools. (b) The tables showing the relative standing of the two communities economically and socially, fail to reveal any pronounced advancement of the community in which the consoli dated schools are located over the communities in which there are only the one-room rural school. In order to obtain perfectly reliable data, however, concerning the relative influence of the two types of schools on the community life, it would be necessary to secure correlated data for a period of years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consolidated Rural School The value of co-operation in place of individualism is rapidly rising in the consciousness of the American people. For many reasons we are far more closely related to more people of the world than formerly and are more conscious of the relationship. This expansion of personality is ready to-day to conceive and to realize feelingly the brotherhood of man and both national and world citizenship. The adjoining farms or nearest small villages do not circumscribe the breadth of our interests, acquaintance, nor economic exchange. To-day we think more in terms of the county, the State, the nation, and the world, instead of provincially limiting ourselves to the farm and the little one-room school district. The automobile, telephone, good roads, trolley cars, newspapers, magazines, and larger administrative participation tend greatly to widen the area of our social connections. The stupendous world war with its unprecedented stimulus to close national organization of railroads, agriculture, and manufacturing, with all their implications of sacrificing individualism to social efficiency, has sent the world, and especially America, a long way toward a desirable organization of all of each nation's forces. The consolidated rural school is part and partner of this broader socialization and integration. It stands for educational efficiency in the interests of the nation and humanity by means of a greater degree of co-operation and organization over a wider area of territory. Already thousands of such schools have displaced the little one-room structures of restricted neighborhoods and mental outlooks from sea to sea.

Download or read book The Rural Schools written by Indiana Dept. Of Public Instruction and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Schools: Pages From the Biennial Report of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Indiana, 1900 These tables are of more than usual interest on this point, and present to the taxpayer a strong argument for a solution of the problem of the small school. It will be observed at once that the per capita cost of education is constantly increasing in the country and towns, and decreasing in the cities. This condition in the rural school arises wholly from the prevalence of small schools. There were as many rural schools in 1899 as in 1879, the salaries in the former are not substantially different from those in the latter, the investments in schoolhouses and appliances would about equal, but the attendance in them has constantly decreased. This condition makes necessary an expenditure for teachers, fuel, apparatus and repairs for the small school of to-day equal to that of the large one of two decades ago. In the towns the increase is due quite largely to the establishment and equipment of high schools of small enroll ment. Nearly all cities show congested schools, making necessary many pupils under the direction of each teacher, thus reducing the per capita cost. Add to this a saving in fuel, repairs, buildings and appliances, and the reduced cost of education in cities is explained.

Download or read book Consolidation of Country Schools Classic Reprint written by Illinois University Colle Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Consolidation of Country Schools Agreeable to the request contained in the resolutions adopted by the Illinois Farmers' Institute at the Bloomington meeting in February, 1903, the College of Agriculture proceeded at once to gather reliable information. Letters were sent to all the states of the Union asking what had been done, if anything, and how it had succeeded. Opinions were collected both from professional educators and from farmers who had experienced the workings of the system, all from sources the most diverse. Aside from this, a trusted agent of the institution visited the region in Ohio where the system had been longest in use, with instructions to note all the conditions found both favorable and unfavorable. The investigation was begun and conducted without bias or previously formed impressions as to the merits or demerits, advantages or disadvantages of this method of administering the school system. As the investigation proceeded, however, the conviction that is inevitable to anyone who really studies this question gradually forced itself upon the consciousness and, in spite of efforts to the contrary, the reader will detect its presence in the mind of the writer at the time of putting the data in final form. It is therefore the more necessary to assure the reader that this conviction arose during and by virtue of this investigation and that it did not exist in advance; indeed there was no opportunity for pre-existing opinions because the writer had never before given the slightest attention to the details of the subject.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural School From Within Before entering upon the construction of a policy for the rural school, the writer gives as faithfully as possible his experiences as a teacher of a Kansas rural school. These experiences were interesting, and dealt with live problems, and throughout their dis cussion it is hoped that the student of pedagogy will recognize the employment of sound and progressive educative principles and the revealing and elucidating of deep-lying fundamentals of discipline and manage ment, which are knotty problems for thinkers and experts in education, by such concrete illustrations as to be of vital worth to the teacher just entering the profession, and helpful to those who have been long in the work. This book is a story - a story that repeats the experiences of thousands of teachers, tens of thou sands of American parents, and of innumerable children. It is a story plainly but not bluntly told it is uncolored by things that might have happened. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural School in the United States Another illustration of our uniform quantitative attitude is to be found in the development of our common school course of study from the three R's. That it has been a case of quan titative rather than qualitative enrichment goes without say ing This line of enrichment has run through the interest ing fields of history, geography, algebra, physiology with all of its hygiene and temperance addenda, drawing, object lessons, vocal music, nature study, literature, language work and ele mentary science. Now the loudest cry is rising from every educational assembly for deliverance from the tyranny of this whole quantitative procedure. We have not abandoned our idea] of enrichment, but we can procure real enrichment only through the elimination of all that is unnecessary or antiquated in our present course of study.

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.
