Excerpt from The Commons, Vol. 7: A Monthly Record Devoted to Aspects of Life and Labor From the Social Settlement Point of View
The topic was treated from the point of view: (1) Of those who seek an education; (2) of those who utilize the services of trained men; (3) of the political, social and industrial conditions which are in large measure the product of these higher institutions.
From the first standpoint not much can be said, because it is not a social viewpoint; yet so much does prosperity of one class depend on that of other classes that the personal point of view is not the true one. It is worth noting, however, that in Michigan the highest in education lies open and practically free to all. Nothing is more demo cratic than our educational system.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of rural communities in Michigan between 1890 and 1900, focusing on the changes brought about by advances in technology and transportation, and the social and economic challenges faced by rural residents during this period of transition. The author draws on extensive research to document the decline of small rural schools, the disappearance of small businesses, the rise of non-resident tuition and county agricultural schools, and the increasing difficulty farmers faced in maintaining a sufficient standard of living. The book explores the efforts of educators and community leaders to address these challenges, including the establishment of the Grange, the work of the Forestry Commission, and the role of churches as centers of rural organization. This insightful study sheds light on the complex factors that shaped rural life in Michigan during a pivotal era of agricultural and societal change.
