The author points out that rural teachers at the turn of the 20th century were often inadequately trained and poorly compensated, leading to high teacher turnover rates and the systemic neglect of rural schools. The book provides a historical overview of the development of various teacher training programs designed specifically to prepare teachers for work in rural schools, including one-year courses, special departments within normal schools, and summer institutes. Special attention is given to the emergence of departments of rural education within normal schools, which offered specialized coursework in rural school organization, management, and methods, as well as practical experience in model rural schools. The author concludes by emphasizing the ongoing need for well-trained rural teachers to address the unique challenges and opportunities of rural education.
