The County Farm-Life Schools Of North Carolina

The purpose of this study was to collect and bring together the principle facts and influences relating to the establishment, development, operation and decline of farm-life schools in North Carolina. The study was made by reading histories of education in the state, general histories, published reports, and unpublished reports; and by talking with people who have had some part in the more recent developments of education in North Carolina . . . The writer found that the farm-life schools were a part of, and a continuation of the great revival of education which began with the opening of the twentieth century . . . The Farm-Life School Movement promoted a more practical curriculum in the field of rural education, and was in no way an attempt to specialize education to fit any one group of citizens.
