Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Course in Rural Economics and Rural Sociology The cordial reception given the first edition of this little book has made a second edition necessary. Some changes, which in the light of class room use seemed advisable have been made. Many topics have been treated more fully, a few that were not in the first edition have been included, and a few others have been omitted entirely. A course of study adapted to eighth grade pupils in rural schools has been added. In making use of this course of study in a rural school it is suggested that the topics be taken up in connection with the work in history, civics, geography, etc. This book is intended as an introduction to the study of rural economics and rural sociology. It has been prepared to meet the needs of rural teachers and pupils in rural schools. In no sense is it a scientific treatise. It will have served its purpose if it leads its readers to a further study of the great movements making for the betterment of country life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Place in Rural Economy: A Study in Sociology Of small holders. In Britain itself the education given to women in connection with agriculture is almost wholly confined to technical instruction in the various branches Of dairying, buttermaking, milking, Cheesemaking, and general dairy manage ment, though in recent years an increasing amount Of attention has been given to poultry and to horti culture. In Ireland the instruction given 15 Of a more comprehensive character, and includes courses in various departments Of domestic economy. But when we turn to Belgium we find schemes and plans of which our most enterprising and advanced educatlonists have never even dreamt in this country. There is nothing in Britain which corresponds ex actly to the Belgian Schools for Domestic Agricul ture, a designation in itself significant. It is very notable that in these schools, as in the famous Danish High Schools in Denmark, general educa tion takes its place in the curriculum alongside Of technical instruction. Up till now in Britain the whole aim Of the Education Boards and Committees has been to improve and extend the technical courses Of training, while the all-important question Of general improvement in knowledge and culture has been entirely ignored. SO far has this tendency gone that one Of the most commonly entertained opinions among the pioneers and friends of agri cultural education in this country is that the time now spent by children in the elementary schools in acquiring the mere rudiments Of a general education is too great, and that part of it might be more profit ably spent in receiving such technical training as would qualify them for the business Of husbandry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Community Country life in America is improving. The outlook of country people is broadening, their sympathies are deepening, and the real satisfactions of life are increasing. In these regards the few are, however, far in advance of the many. A movement is now under way which purposes to show country people everywhere how to live the more satisfactory life. There are many whose lives are too concentrated upon debt paying to be conscious of life as it passes; others have lapsed into a state of inertia of body and mind which makes them cry out, "Leave us alone; we are all right," while they live selfish, bickering lives, without any of the blessings which come from associating with and trying to please other people. The country life movement is largely one of encouraging a higher standard of living in the home and of stimulating social activities of various kinds which relieve the isolation of country life. This can be done by showing what the more progressive farmers and farming communities are doing to make life worth while. It is believed that this educational work will lead to spontaneous efforts to live a more satisfactory life on the part of the farming population. The schools, churches, and clubs are the organized efforts for rural betterment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Readings in Rural EconomicsThe study of rural economics is cultural because it has to do with men in the broadest possible sense. Men have lived with out printing presses or printed books and even without books of any kind. The qualities which characterize our race were fixed before there was art or architecture. Very few, if any, changes or improvements in the race have taken place since, but, except for the lowest savage who lived exclusively by hunting and fish ing, no people has ever lived without agriculture, that is, without some means of increasing the soil's capacity to produce desirable things for human consumption. I remember reading a fascinating icle a few years ago on the oldest trade in the world. By was meant a specialized occupation which would exclude re. The oldest trade, or specialized occupation, accord that article, was working in flint. This was fascinating e it introduced one to a very important chapter in the life human race. That is cultural information which gives one ible knowledge of and sympathy with man in all his existence and all stages of his civilization. But even making of flint instruments is less valuable in this respect than knowledge of the various processes by means of which man as extracted a living from the soil. This is practical knowledge in a strict business sense, because wide knowledge of rural economy, of the epochs in agricultural istory, of the changes that have taken place, of the reasons why taken place, of the tendencies of the present, and of the.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Communities of Work written by William W. Falk and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image of rural America portrayed in this illuminating study is one that is vibrant, regionally varied, and sometimes heroic. Communities of Work focuses on the ways in which rural people and places are affected by political, social, and economic forces far outside their control and how they sustain themselves and their communities in response. Bringing together the two fundamental concepts of community--where the relationships and practices of daily life occur--and work, in which an elementary exchange occurs, Communities of Work bridges several fields of study. Presented here is the contextual and embedded nature of social relations and the complexity involved in understanding them. Through the use of multiple case studies, the authors apply diverse theories and methods in seeking an integrated outcome, one captured by "communities of work." Beginning with a description of the broad changes in work and economic activities across the United States, ranging from the Ohio River Valley to a western boomtown, the book shifts its focus to the interplay of work, family, and local networks in time and place. Activities range from fishing in the Mississippi Delta to farming and family life in the Midwest. The authors then highlight how rural people and places respond to extra-local, increasingly global forces in settings as diverse as rural South Carolina and Wisconsin. A certain communitarian theme runs through Communities of Work. It is about people and communities not merely reacting, but instead responding in ways that reflect their local culture, while being cognizant of the larger world within which they live.

Download or read book Rebuilding Rural America Classic Reprint written by Mark A. Dawber and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rebuilding Rural America The Reverend Mark A. Dawber was born and educated in England. His aptitude for music led to special training in piano and organ at the London College of Music and he expected to make music his profession. He then became interested in the social movements of the day and studied at Ruskin College, Oxford, where he took both social studies and theological courses. Later he served in the educational department of a large consumer cooperative in Manchester. He took an active part in the development of the labor movement in England, being associated with the Independent Labor Party. Dr. Dawber came to America in 1911, and spent a year in special studies at Boston University School of Theology, Drew Theological Seminary, and Garrett Biblical Institute. He was challenged by the rural situation which he found here and accepted an appointment to an open-country circuit under the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was ordained to the ministry of that church in 1916. The success of his ministry in rural churches resulted in a call in 1919 to the chair of Rural Leadership in Boston University School of Theology. After six years in this professorship he was appointed to his present position, Superintendent of the Department of Town and Country Work of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In this capacity he has had unusual opportunity to study rural conditions in every part of the United States and Canada. He has lectured widely upon various aspects of rural life, and has been especially active in developing summer schools for the training of rural ministers.
