Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rural School Consolidation in Missouri: Or "Boy Wanted", A Comedy for Girls, in Two Acts This manual is intended as a working guide for teachers, school officers, and patrons who are seeking to reorganize their schools into consolidated districts as graded schools and rural high schools, under the provisions of recent legislative enactment. The purpose has been to make a clear statement of the intimate relation of strong, well-organized rural schools to the welfare of rural life in general; to point out the particular advantages of consolidation, without in any way covering over the disadvantages that the system may have; and to explain in detail the law and the steps that must be taken in order to gain the benefit of the new system, and the state aid for building purposes and school maintenance offered under it. It is quite clear to the average man that the present unit of school organization is quite too small for best results. From a business point of view, indeed, it is so wasteful that sound principles of economy demand a reorganization. While our civilization was in the pioneer stage the one-room school answered our purpose well enough, but today things are different. The gradual transition in rural life towards real scientific farming, together with the many perplexing problems brought into being by shift in rural population occasioned by the industrial call of the city and the attraction of cheap western lands, have placed new, grave responsibilities upon the school. No retarded weakling school can furnish the educated leadership just now needed in the open country. The old school, in very fact, is responsible for much of the present "ineffective farming, lack of ideals, and drift to town." Consolidation of schools is no experiment. It is proving successful in every section of the country. No school that has tried consolidation has ever gone back to the old way. In Missouri the old leakage and waste have run quite long enough. It harbingers new and better things to see our school officials and patrons study, agitate, and plan as they are doing throughout the state at the present time. Word comes almost daily from some new proposed consolidation district. Scores of these will be voted on during the coming spring. But now that consolidation is coming to our state, will it appear in its best form? This must be our greatest concern for the immediate future.
