Excerpt from Teaching in Rural Schools The United States Census Bureau classifies as living under rural conditions all persons living in the Open country and in towns and villages having less that 2500 inhabitants. On this basis, according to the census of 1910, per cent Of the population of the United States was classed as rural, and the figures probably have not changed materially since that date. In the last printed report of the United States Commissioner of Education it was stated that, during the preceding year, per cent of the children enrolled in the public schools of the United States were enrolled in schools classified by the Census Bureau as rural, while of the teachers employed, 60 per cent were employed in these rural communities. Approximately eighteen million children were enrolled in these same schools, and about 95 per cent of these were in the elementary grades.

Excerpt from Suggestions for Rural Teachers Local organizations for these same purposes are sometimes called Mothers Clubs, but the name parent-teachers Association seems to suit better. The local P. T. A. Can help the school in a very practical way as well as in the broader results that must follow.

Excerpt from Successful Teaching in Rural Schools IF our American public school system is to provide adequately for the education of all boys and girls, the rural schools of the United States must be improved. It is important in the consideration of this problem that we discuss methods of finance and of administration. It is even more important that well-trained teachers be placed in every classroom, and that those already at work in rural schools grow increasingly more efficient. In this volume the author has presented to rural school teachers a record of achievement by a group of rural school-teachers which is not only enlightening but in spiring. The book could not have been written by one who approached the problem as a theorist. It is out of a rich experience in achieving the ideals set forth, that Dr. Pittman has written to the rural school-teachers of the United States.

Excerpt from A Statement of the Rural School Problem in South Carolina, Vol. 2 To the State Board of Education. Gentlemen: As State Supervisor of Elementary Rural Schools, I have regarded myself as a special officer of the Department of Education to whom has been assigned special duties. The six months during which I have held this office have not been employed in the collection of statistics, nor in the tabulation of results. Complete statistical information concerning the status of the schools with which my work is connected will form a part of the report of the State Superintendent of Education. As a field of special effort, the rural schools of South Carolina is a virgin one. Naturally the work of the first six months has been directed largely to renewing a first-hand acquaintance with rural school conditions. I began my work after the close of the schools in June and have had only two months in which to observe actual school operations. Part of the summer was spent in visiting the summer schools for teachers held in various counties of the State, in holding conferences with the County Superintendents, and in special visits to communities which were endeavoring to effect consolidation of schools, to vote special taxes, or to further some other progressive educational movement. Since the rural schools opened about October 15th, I have spent most of the time in the field studying conditions in typical counties of the State. It has been my custom to meet the County Superintendent of Education and spend four days with him, visiting his schools, seeing the work of the teachers, talking with the patrons and trustees, addressing meetings of the school community, and, with the County Superintendent, forming plans for the improvement of conditions. The week has usually closed with a meeting of the school trustees at the county seat, in which we have discussed school improvement in all its phases. County Trustees Associations have been formed at these meetings in order to bring about a greater unity of effort on the part of the men to whom the rural districts must look for local leadership.

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.
