Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural School Supervision Sir: In the early history of this country, and of each of the States, when the population was sparse and communities widely separated, each school district and each school had an independent existence, with little or no relation to any other school or district or any larger unit. As population became more dense, as communities coalesced, as appropriations and expenditures for schools became larger, and as the larger units of county and State began to feel an interest in and responsibility for the education of the children of all their separate communities, the need for State and county officers for business administration was felt. Later still, the demand for efficiency in the schools and for the best possible use of money expended for schools and of the time of the children in school gave rise to a demand for expert supervision by men and women competent to give to all teachers, and especially to young and inexperienced teachers, help in those phases of their work in which they need it most. As a result, State, county, district, and township superintendents are now chosen with reference to their knowledge of teaching more than formerly; and in many States they are given the assistance of special supervisors. So valuable have been the results of the work of these expert supervisors in those places where it has been tried under favorable conditions that there is now a general desire for information on the subject. I therefore recommend for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education the accompanying manuscript transmitted herewith on Rural School Supervision, prepared at my request by Katherine M. Cook and A. C. Monahan of the Rural Education Division of this bureau. Respectfully submitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
