RAPEER, LOUIS WIN, ed. Consolidated rural school. il *$3 Scribner 379.17
20–4557
This is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject and contains articles by leading specialists and successful workers in this field. Its object is to elucidate the general aim of the consolidated school: social efficiency, with its subordinate aims of vital, vocational, avocational, civic, moral efficiency. It shows how the new method fosters cooperation, and socialization, how children may be physically and mentally changed by suitable methods and how the consolidated school can furnish opportunity for a school farm, homes for teachers and a community centre. The first chapter, National and rural consolidation, and many of the subsequent chapters are by the editor, Louis W. Rapeer. Other chapters are: The American rural school, by Philander P. Claxton; Community organization and consolidation, by Warren H. Wilson; Rural economics and consolidation, by T. N. Carver; The growth of consolidation, and Transportation of pupils at public expense, by A. C. Monahan; A visit to a consolidated school, and The country girl and the consolidated school, by Katherine M. Cook; Methods and facts of consolidation, by W. S. Fogarty; The difficulties of consolidation, by L. J. Hanifan. The book is indexed and has a bibliography.
