Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the educational conditions of a suburban and rural county, Montgomery County, Maryland, as they stood in 1912-13. The authors, E. Fred Eastman and H. N. Morse of the Department of Church and Country Life of the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in th…e United States of America, surveyed economic, social, and religious aspects of the county before publishing this volume as a supplement to their original report. The authors found that the county was in a state of economic transition, with a shift from agriculture to suburban development. This shift was particularly pronounced in the lower end of the county, where it adjoined the District of Columbia. Despite the economic changes, farming remained the primary means of wealth production in the county. The authors also noted that the social life of the county was highly uneven, both as regards the geographical distribution of social organizations and the classes in the communities which they reached. They found that only a small proportion of the population was provided for by these organizations, and that there were none of any sort for the laboring and tenant classes. The authors conclude that the educational conditions of the county were a reflection of the general characteristics of the people as a whole. They found that the county had a relatively high proportion of one-room schools, which they identified as a major problem in the development of rural education. They also found that many of the school buildings were in need of repair and that few had adequate facilities for recreation. Despite these challenges, the authors also found that the county's school system was making progress. They noted that 26 new school buildings had been erected within the past six years, and that many of these had been planned with an eye to future growth. They also found that the county was beginning to experiment with new educational programs, such as vocational agriculture and domestic science.
