The author, an American specialist in rural school practices, spent time studying the Danish educational system, which in recent years has played a vital role in the agricultural transformation of the country. The author argues that until around the 1880s, Danish agriculture was in a poor state, with a shift in the population towards urban areas. However, the establishment of cooperative enterprises among farmers and the improvement of rural schools led to the development of a scientifically-informed and progressive agricultural sector, with farmers trained in special courses at rural schools. The book describes the remarkable growth of cooperative enterprise in Denmark, including cooperative stores, dairies, cheese factories, bacon factories, and egg-exporting associations. It also discusses the role of control unions and government breeding centers in improving agricultural practices. The book further highlights the social life in rural Denmark, emphasizing the importance of the school and church as centers of community life, as well as the role of gymnastics and sharpshooters associations in fostering social cohesion. The author concludes by arguing that the Danish experience offers valuable lessons for other countries seeking to revitalize their rural areas, particularly in terms of the importance of education, cooperation, and a focus on the well-being of rural communities.
