Excerpt from Bulletin of the University of Texas, No; 251, Four Time a Month: Rural School Education, Lectures Delivered and Outlines of Round Tables Held During Rural School Education Week Under the Auspices of the University Summer Schools, July 15-19, 1912
During the week beginning July 15, 1912, there was conducted, under the auspices of the University Summer Schools, a five-day series of lectures and round tables, all of which were devoted to the investigation and discussion of problems relating to rural schools. Among the lecturers and leaders of round tables were County Superintendent O. J. Kern of Winnebago county, Illinois; Mr. C. H. Lane, assistant in agricultural education, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.; State Superintendent F. M. Bralley of Austin, Texas; President R. B. Cousins of the West Texas State Normal College, Canyon, Texas; Superintendent P. W. Horn of the Houston city schools; Superintendent S. M. N. Marrs of the Terrell city schools; Mr. C. H. Winkler, instructor in botany in the University of Texas, and Messrs. T. H. Shelby, E. V. White, E. A. Decherd and N. J. Clancy of the State Department of Education, Austin.
The papers brought together in this bulletin consist in some instances of complete lectures, and in other instances of abstracts or reports. They are published in order that county superintendents and others who were in attendance upon rural school education week last July, may have preserved in permanent form many of the excellent features of the exercises of that week. It is hoped, furthermore, that this bulletin will be read carefully by many other county superintendents, as well as by many other people interested in the progress of rural education in Texas.
The authorities of the University of Texas, believing that by far the greatest educational problem in our state is that of the rural school, have decided to make rural school education week a permanent feature of the summer session. Already plans for the exercises of this week in 1913 are in process of development. Superintendent Kern has been employed to deliver fifteen lectures, ten in the morning and five in the evening, the latter being illustrated with lantern slides. He will, furthermore, assist in round tables that will be conducted during the five afternoons.
