This book on child education in rural schools emphasizes the importance of engaging pupils in seatwork and study that is productive, improves their resourcefulness and energy, and encourages their intellectual initiative.

The author examines the place of seatwork in relation to classwork and discusses how seatwork can progress along with the broader curriculum.
