Synopsis
Excerpt from Consolidated Rural Schools The most important work before this department upon the advent of statehood was the organization of district schools in the new counties of the State. The rural district school is the foundation of all our work. Thousands of our citizens will never go to any other school, and if there should be no district school in reach of them they may never go to any school at all. Considering the fact that only a few of our children, comparatively speaking, will ever attend a higher state institution of learning, it becomes our plain duty to see that there is a district school in reach of every child of every color in the State, and that these schools be made as thorough as it is possible to make them. The free public-school system in Oklahoma is the glory of our State, and the rural district school is the foundation and hope of the entire system. The work of organizing the new counties into convenient districts has been carried rapidly forward and is now nearly completed. At the present time 2,200 school districts, by actual count, have been organized in the forty-one counties carved out of that part of the State formerly known as Indian Territory, and fully as many schoolhouses have been built and occupied. In this part of Oklahoma I urged the formation of large school districts by the county superintendent, so that larger buildings and better schools might be made possible. In this way a plan of consolidation was effected without holding an election in which its fate might be uncertain. Many of these schools began work with three or four rooms and with the same number of teachers. In these new districts we enrolled not less than 140,000 children who never entered a public schoolhouse before, and a vast majority of whom never attended a school of any kind a single day. We think this is a good showing, and look upon it as the best and most far-reaching result of statehood for our people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hund

Product Description
Excerpt from Consolidated Rural Schools
The principle of the consolidated school is simple: A strictly modern school building is erected, when possible, in the center of the township; and provision is made to transport all pupils who live too far away to walk. In some cases, the school authorities own the conveyance, and some times it is owned by private individuals.

Consolidated Rural Schools (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book probes the issue of rural school systems in America. From the mid-19th century, the discussion around rural education has wrestled with balancing local control with increasing demands for efficiency and equity. This book examines that debate through the lens of school consolidation, exploring the consolidation movement in detail from the 1890s to 1930s, to shed light on the ongoing challenges of meeting the unique educational needs of rural students and communities. The author approaches the history of rural education reform through the prisms of social and cultural history, exploring how Americans have conceptualized the purpose of education and the best means to deliver it to all children. In examining the arguments made by proponents and opponents of school consolidation, the complexities of the debate, and its long-lasting impact, the author challenges readers to confront the full range of issues that shaped rural education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
