Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Department of the Interior Bureau of Education Bulletin, 1920, Vol. 21: Schools in the Bituminous Coal Regions of the Appalachian Mountains Sir: The education of the hundreds of thousands of children in mining villages and towns in various sections of the United States involves so many problems common to these communities, but different in character or in degree, or in both, from the education of the children of other communities, that I have felt it a part of my duty as Commissioner of Education to bring these problems to the attention of education officers in the several States in which there are mining regions and to the attention of students of education generally. For this purpose I have held or caused to be held in the last few years several important conferences, in which school officers, teachers of schools in mining centers, mine owners and operators, and mine workers have come together to discuss these problems. That we might have fuller and more accurate information of the needs of these mining villages and towns and of the present condition of their schools, I have asked Mr. W. S. Deffenbaugh, of this bureau, to make a careful first-hand study of some of them as he might have opportunity. The manuscript which I am transmitting herewith for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education is the result of the study which he has until now been able to make of education in some of the mining villages of the bituminous coal region of the Appalachian Mountains. While this study has been neither so comprehensive nor so thorough as Mr. Deffenbaugh and I wished it might have been, this report will serve a valuable purpose as a basis for further studies by this bureau and other agencies.
