"The author discusses the reasons for general rural indifference to school improvement and calls attention to the need of textbooks in physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, bookkeeping, and history that are adapted to rural conditions and interest, and illustrates the importance of agriculture in the industrial development of the race. He suggests that country boys and girls should be encouraged to carry on a productive business in truck or fruit growing or in stock or poultry raising while studying in the rural high school. The school should be the social center of the neighborhood, and evening classes for the benefit of the women of the neighborhood in cooking, dress-cutting and dressmaking, in training to care for the sick, and in the prevention of disease, might be formed."
