American Book Company New York 300 Pike Street Chicago The Reorganized Course of Study for Modern Rural Life G. M. Wilson, Professor of Education, Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa. The course of study is the most fundamental consideration in the entire work of the schools. It determines the grist that is ground, whatever the school organization. While the rural schools must have more money, better organization and better supervision, yet these are important largely because they will give us better trained teachers and teachers capable of working out and administering a course of study that really functions in rural life. The rural people constitute fifty per cent of the total population of the country. They are entitled to a course of study that really serves them and their interests in a vital and effective manner. The following fundamental principles of curricula making are now generally recognized: 1. The school work must be based upon the child's interest, and connected directly with his apperceptive basis. Unless these conditions are met, no grist is ground so far as the 1 articular child is concerned. 2. Education, in order to function, must not be divorced from the life of the community, but, instead, must be based squarely upon the community's life, including its fundamental industries. This means. that the rural teacher must know rural life and its problems in a broad, comprehensive way; must be able to sort out the ap plicable from the traditional, and must further be able to conceive new problems and gather data directly from the community life for their solution. 3. The teacher can not get the right moral fiber into her pupils unless her own attitude toward the situation is sympathetic and fundamentally correct. It is a regretable fact, but a fact nevertheless, that rural education in the past has been disloyal to rural life, has created general discontent among the boys and girls of the rural districts |
