Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Education, Vol. 1: From the Department of Education of the State University of Iowa Since the appointment of the Country Life Commission by Roosevelt our rural schools have been the subject of much discussion both on the platform and in the press. The ideal country life has been pictured with the boys and girls attending ideal schools in their own neighborhoods. The content of education in these schools is so closely related to the life and activities of the people that the boys and girls at once see its real value. There is no longer the great gulf between school and life that Dr. Dewey so deplores. The desire to leave the farm and move to the city with its congested population and artificially stimulated life is replaced by a love for and appreciation of the beauty and peace of rural life, free from the noise, dust and intense nervous strain of the city. In short, equipment, curriculum, teachers and pupils in these schools are all adapted to developing the highest type of rural life. On the other hand this vision of the ideal school is repeatedly interrupted by some blunt, untactful and brutally frank speaker or writer who harshly asserts that the Iowa farmer does not send his children to school. We are told that the wages of his children, often at the age when they have an inalienable right to nurture and education, constitute the savings of the average Iowa farmer. It is hoped that this somewhat detailed study of the school attendance in one Iowa County, (Crawford) may help at least by way of suggestion, in a small way to answer some of the questions suggested by the above mentioned discussion. Do parents in the rural districts appreciate and use their schools less than or more than parents in the towns of the same general locality? How many boys and girls of each age in the country do not attend school at all, compared with the number in town of the same age who do not attend?
