Excerpt from Training Courses for Rural Teachers
Sir: The improvement of the rural schools of the United States is, I believe, our most important school problem. The most impor tant factor in their improvement must be better educated and better trained teachers. The education and training of teachers should always have some Special reference to the work of the schools in which they are to teach. Therefore any intelligent attempt to adjust the courses of study and training in the normal schools to meet the special need of teachers in schools of the Open country, villages, and small towns is worthy of careful study and wide publication. For this reason, I recommend that the accompanying manuscript on Training courses for rural teachers, prepared by A. C. Monahan, specialist in rural education in this bureau, and R. H. Wright, presi dent of the State Teachers Training School, of Greenville, N. C., be published as a bulletin of this bureau for distribution principally among State and county superintendents, principals and teachers of normal schools and of high schools having classes for young men and women preparing themselves for teaching in the rural schools, and among members of boards having control of schools in which teachers are trained.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the importance of well-trained rural teachers in improving the educational prospects of rural schoolchildren in the United States. The author points out that rural teachers at the turn of the 20th century were often inadequately trained and poorly compensated, leading to high teacher turnover rates and the systemic neglect of rural schools. The book provides a historical overview of the development of various teacher training programs designed specifically to prepare teachers for work in rural schools, including one-year courses, special departments within normal schools, and summer institutes. Special attention is given to the emergence of departments of rural education within normal schools, which offered specialized coursework in rural school organization, management, and methods, as well as practical experience in model rural schools. The author concludes by emphasizing the ongoing need for well-trained rural teachers to address the unique challenges and opportunities of rural education.
