Excerpt from The Rural Teacher, and His Work, in Community Leadership, in School, Administration, and in Mastery, of the School Subjects
This book is written as a companion volume to The American Rural School, which was first published some five years ago and, in that time, has met wit a most gratifying reception from the public. The new book, like The American Rural School, addresses itself to the great army of rural school teachers, superintendents, and school officers; members of teachers" reading circles.normal who are interested in the greatest measure of progress in American rural life. Much of what was pointed out in the former book as desirable and expedient has actually come to pass. The new and revitalized rural school is taking form, thanks to the nation-wide, propaganda which has been carried on by educators, philosophers, poets, preachers, and sociologists of very degree, these last few years.
Still, the beginnings only have been made. There is much of isolation and barrenness in rural life yet to overcome; the farm folk must attain better organization both for social and economic ends; and a new kind of life outlook must take hold on rural communities.
The factors entering into the socialization of our present day rural life are many. But it is safe to say that none is more important than the rural school.For it is school education that must furnish the leadership so essential to the solution of the problems of rural life.
