Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of rural extension schools in Ireland, highlighting their role in improving agricultural practices and home economics. The author traces their history from the establishment of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in 1900 to the early 20th century, against the backdrop of Ireland's efforts to modernise its agricultural sector. The book examines the various types of schools established, including winter agricultural classes, itinerant instruction in home economics and farm carpentry, and specialised institutions such as the Munster and Ulster Dairy Institutes. It discusses the curriculum, teaching methods, and the impact of these schools on the lives of rural communities. The book also sheds light on the broader social and economic context of the time, including the challenges faced by small farmers and the role of women in rural society. The author provides insights into the importance of these schools in promoting agricultural development, improving living conditions, and empowering rural communities in Ireland.
