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 Rural Life and Education: A Study of the Rural-School Problem as a Phase of the Rural-Life Problem To one who has given little or no attention to the subject, it is hard to appreciate the geat revolution in rural life which has taken place during the past th?e'e' quarters of a century. The changes which have been accomplished have been of far-reaching importance, and they have touched every phase of rural life. Almost nothing is now as it used to be; almost nothing is done now as it was three quarters of a century ago. We of to-day live in a new world a world of which our grandfathers scarcely dreamed. Life everywhere to-day is far more complex, intricate, diflicult, and fruitful of both pleasure and profit than was that of which our grandfathers formed a part. The great changes which have taken place in living and industry have affected all of our people, rural and urban, but perhaps nowhere has the revolution in living and industry been of more far-reaching importance than to those of our people who live on the farms and in the little villages of our nation.

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.

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.

Download or read book An Experimental Rural School at Winthrop College Rock Hill S C Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Hetty S. Browne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Experimental Rural School at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S. C At the outset the effort was to see clearly: First, what the farm wife must do all her life; second, what the farmer must do all his life. Then regardless of tradition, the resolve was to make a school that will train the farm children for their future work in the home, on the farm, and in the social life around them. It was recognized that activity has given the race its power. Man began by making crude weapons and tools out of wood, bone, stone, etc., and throughout the history of the race education has been in activity, not in books about it. Hence we began frankly with the activities of the farm, both in the home and in the fields. The children from the outset, felt a joy in the work. This stirred an interest in all their tools: plows, hoes, books, pencils, paper, everything used in furthering their work. Thus they became their own teachers and teachers of all those in contact with them. They mastered reading, writing, drawing, out of their own zeal which was born of the inter est that grew out of their progress. Simultaneous activities are made possible by this interest. A visi tor will see a group working in the garden, another group on the veranda sewing, another in the kitchen at a cooking task, another in the workshop, and still another at their numbers or reading with the teacher in her room. With these activities are related such essential technics as drawing, reading, writing, numbering, and modeling; so that the children master these largely without the irksome effort that is characteristic of the old schools. How this is done will be seen especially from Mrs. Browne's account of the corn cycle. It will be noted that the exercises are ordered so as to develop the body along with the organs of sense and the mental power. The content of the words the children learn along with their activities is both concrete and vivid. From the outset they are led to put facts together and draw conclusions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Redemption of Arthur True: A Rural School Story The little volume which Mr. Bratten issues under the title, The Redemption of Arthur True, is a distinct and important contribution to pedagogical fiction. Under the guise of entertaining narrative, as has been the wont of so many who have had great messages to Convey, Mr. Bratten makes an eloquent appeal for better rural schools. The simple, accurate, and particularly Vivid picture of school conditions in Illinois as'the author has observed them is not so much a matter of fiction as it is actual history, and very modern history, -too.

Download or read book Country Life Education Classic Reprint written by United States Department Of Agriculture and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-03 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Life Education Success had hardly been attained in collegiate courses in agriculture when secondary schools for agricultural education began successfully to develop. In 1888 the University of Minnesota began an experiment at developing an agricultural high-school course. This experiment is of none the less value anal of all the greater interest because it was an outgrowth of the failure of agricultural courses of collegiate grade to gain a foothold in a State university. Just as Congress by its landgrant act forced colleges of agriculture upon the State, this agricultural high-school movement was injected into the school system upon the initiative of farmers and business men. At present between thirty and forty agricultural high schools have been established in the United States. In one line of country-lit'e education school men and nonschool men have together taken up the practical in school work. Farmers and educators together have entered upon the development of rural schools so as to have them cover agriculture and home economics as well as the Three R's. Thus the school people are especially championing the consolidation of rural schools, and the farmers are laying stress upon the introduction of agriculture into all rural schools. Both classes are rap idly coming to favor both propositions. The farmers are coming to see that agriculture can not be successfully introduced into the one-room rural schools, and the teachers are coming to see that agriculture and home economies are to have very strong positions in the primary country school curriculum alongside the Three R's.

Download or read book Summer Work in Public Schools Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Odell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summer Work in Public Schools Former lengths of school years. During the earlier part of the nineteenth century, and even later, it was not unusual for rural and small - town children, especially girls and small boys, to attend school during a considerable part of the summer rather than during the severe winter weather. Probably the chief cause was that because of the lack of good roads and the distances that must be travelled to reach the schools, it was difficult to attend school during the winter. However, as roads were improved and as cities and towns became more numerous, the practice Of having summer terms became less common until it has become the almost universal practice for the longest vacation period of the year to come during the summer months, or perhaps to include all of them. In the larger cities Of the country conditions were different. Many, probably most, of them formerly had school years much longer than is the custom now, with Short vacations including only a small part of the summer. For example, the Commissioner of Education1 has re ported data on lengths of school years about 1841-42. Some of the lengths are reported in days, some in weeks, and some in months. Boston is stated to have had a session of 224 days, Washington of 238, Philadelphia Of and Detroit of 253. That of Cleveland was forty - three weeks in length, that of Chicago forty-eight, and that of. New York forty-nine. Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Cincinnati had eleven-month sessions, whereas Buffalo had one of twelve months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Township and Community High School Movement in Illinois, Vol. 35 Sir: The most remarkable feature in the progress of education in the United States within the past decade and a half has been the unprecedented increase of interest in secondary education, the multiplication of high schools and the large increase in the number of high-school students. Until about the beginning of this century interest in the public high school was confined almost wholly to cities and larger towns. Since that time it has extended more and more to the smaller towns, villages, and open country, until there is now free and easy access to good public high schools for a large portion of the rural population, and the tendency is toward universal high-school education for children, both urban and rural. This is a tendency which should be strengthened and encouraged in every possible way. Probably in no State has there been greater progress in the establishment of high schools than in the State of Illinois. I therefore recommend for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education the account transmitted herewith of the township and community high-school movement in Illinois. This account has been prepared by Horace A. Hollister, professor of education and high-school visitor, University of Illinois. Respectfully submitted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Life and Education: A Study of the Rural-School Problem as a Phase of the Rural-Life Problem A recent writer has stated that the rural-school problem would be much easier of solution if some writer on the subject would clearly set forth the nature of the problem. The suggestion was a good one, as most writers on the subject do not seem to see clearly the nature of the problem they are considering. The rural-school problem of to-day is a social, even more than an educational problem, and is the result of a long national evolution, coupled with recent profound changes in rural life itself. The rural-school problem is inseparable from the rural-life problem, and of which it is but a phase. Those who do most toward its solution will be those who see the problem clearly in its historical and sociological setting, and who have some grasp of American rural history. To give the problem such a setting has been the purpose of the first part of the book. The rural-life problem is there set forth in its historical development, and the origin and present status of the rural-school problem shown. With this as a basis the student is ready to pass to the second part of the book, which sets forth specifically the present rural-school problem, and points out the fundamental nature of the remedies which must be applied for its solution.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Field Day and Play Picnic for Country Children From such conditions, the country boy who goes to the city is not likely to be as efficient as formerly, and this is a cause for genuine national alarm. Dr. Strong, writing 011 this subject, says: We must expect the steady deterioration of our rural population unless effective preventive measures are devised. And if no new preventive measures are devised, I see no reason why isolation, irreligion, ignorance, vice, and degradation should not increase in the country until we have a rural American peasantry, illiterate and immoral, possessing. The rights of citizenship, but utterly incapable of per forming or comprehending its duties. In this situation it is important that everythingbe done to infuse new life and new enthusiasm into the country districts. Home, church, and school should unite intelligently to produce conditions which will make for contentment. Social forces in the country are centrifugal and expulsive; their direction is from the center outward and away; they must be made centripetal and attractive. The domi nating question should not be: How can I get away? But How can I make conditions such that I shall be glad to stay? As an aid in improving conditions, the telephone, the trolley and the rural free delivery are operating favorably. The church and school are beginning to feel a new life. Economic conditions are also improving, and farm lands and crops are more valu able than ever before. Perhaps -the most comfort able and prosperous class in the country to - day are the farmers. They are organizing everywhere, the most noted organization being the Grange with more than a million members. A rural literature is rap idly developing, teeming with excellent books and magnificently edited periodicals. Most astonishing are the varied agencies which have begun to operate for a social uplift. The future is full of hope. Of course, this new life has not reached all, nor even the many. And even in the favored communi ties it has scarcely extended down to the children to improve their schools and give them opportunities which twentieth century children must have. Child life. In the country is often dull and hopeless. Nearly everything conspires to drive them cityward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
