Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Consolidated Rural Schools and Organization of a County System Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a bulletin on Consolidated Rural Schools, by George W. Knorr, special field agent of the Bureau of Statistics. This bulletin was prepared under the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics and by him transmitted to this Office for publication in the series of agricultural education publications. The statistical investigation upon which this bulletin is based extended over more than three years, and was made by Mr. Knorr under the direction of Assistant Secretary of Agriculture W. M. Hays. In the course of the investigation Mr. Knorr visited several hundred district schools and a large proportion of the typical consolidated rural schools recently established in this country. His statement that 95 per cent of the farmers who have thoroughly tried the consolidated rural school give it their indorsement and support, should command universal attention. These consolidated schools are gradually supplanting the one-room rural schools; they at once supply excellent graded eight-year elementary courses and one or more years of high-school work; and provide conditions under which trained teachers may instruct in agriculture and home economics. Many are now teaching these subjects in a thorough manner and thus lead in the long desired development of our belated system of schools for rural communities. Through these schools opportunities are afforded the Department of Agriculture and the state experiment stations for disseminating the results of their researches; new facilities are also afforded for the distribution of new varieties of plants and seeds which are being created by breeding. The information contained in this bulletin will be valuable to the scientists of this Department in enabling them to establish vital relations with country-life schools and aid in the movement to carry to every farm boy and girl the rich stores of knowledge now being rapidly accumulated through agricultural research. It will also be of great value to educators throughout the country who are interested in bringing about a better organization of country-life schools. I therefore recommend its publication as Bulletin 232 of this Office. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
