Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shall We Have School Supervision in the Rural Districts? He must quicken pupils as well as teachers, and to do this he must be a clean, attractive, and forceful character, who appeals to the buoyancy and ambition of youth. He must be a worker. He must be an intelligent friend of true sport. He must be a scholar; he must know the literature of the schools; he must be specially proficient in educational history, and pedagogical theory and method; and he must keep up with progress in the organization and work of schools in other districts, in other states, and in other countries. He must have a share in educational meetings in the State and nation to the end that he may possibly contribute to their potential strength, and certainly to the end that he may get from them the aids which will help him to do the most for his own schools. Withal, he must be a sane and balanced character, who is familiar with affairs, who is neither an eccentric nor a bombast, who can move among the people on at least equal terms, to whom teachers may be naturally disposed to look for guidance, and to whose judgment and influence parents may be glad to submit the future of their children. One can not be all this, nor any appreciable part of it, unless he is a balanced character and is a student of it; nor unless he has had experience at it. He must have judgment and discrimination. He must be able to resist, as well as to do. He can not fill this place and divide his time and thought with any other business. He can have no other interest which will take his time, or his thought, or which will warp his judgment, for the place demands all the thought, and all the force, of an all-around man or woman who has become an expert in the organization and administration of schools. What such an one can do for the schools can not be fully described; indeed, it can hardly be appreciated by one not familiar with the complex educational activities of the country. But that is what we mean by school supervision. No such supervision in the farming districts Such supervision has developed very rapidly in the cities of the State in the last forty or fifty years. It is this that has made for the quite uniform excellence of the city schools. It is this, at least, that has made the schools notably good in the cities where the best superintendents have been long continued.

Book Description
Excerpt from State of Maryland Teachers Year Book: For the Information, Use, and Guidance of Officials and Teachers of the Public Schools of the State of Maryland; Scholastic Year 1916-1917 Teachers and school officials, do we know the import and mean ing of our new school law which has been discussed and praised irf every state in the Union since its passage Are we familiar with its provisions, its purposes, and its possibilities? I dare say even those of us who are best posted on its features have not a proper concep tion of the great stride in public school progress the new law makes possible. Instead of a State Superintendent and his assistant, who heretofore have been required to attend to all the supervision given the school from the State Department, we are to have three addi tional professional assistants, viz: a State high school supervisor, a rural school supervisor, and a white supervisor of colored schools. This provision should more than double the efficiency of the State Department 'of Education. In the counties the step toward more effective administration has been just as marked. Each county will have an attendance officer who is called in the law a professional assistant and whose entire time is to be given to the work under the direction of the county superintendent. Each county with as many as one hundred teachers, will have a supervisor of the elementary grades. This scheme for close supervision, for helpful assistance and cooperation is perhaps the biggest thing in the law so full of prom ising results. Do we want and will we welcome the people who will thus come into the service to strengthen the weak places in the old law? Or will we complain and antagonize, lest our duties be in creased by providing definite means for checking the quality of our instruction? Good teachers have nothing to fear and much to gain by adequate supervision. Teachers without experience, but who havethe right attitude toward the work will find through this provision the quickest road to success in the school room. Pupils of all grades can look forward with good cheer to school life as abounding in facili ties to make them live well in school and to furnish the proper stim uli to arouse worthy interests. Parents who want to give their children that which cannot be taken away from them through the wicked designing of others may find much encouragement in the promises of the newer system of instruction. There will come some disappointments to at least a few of our present corps of teachers; the grade, the classification of their certificates may be changed and their salaries affected. Many may regret that their'claims were not recognized in asking to be made supervisors or attendance officers. Patrons and friends will likely feel displeased that school taxes have jumped and the naming of principal teachers has been taken away from their representatives in the system - the trustees. But let us all give the new order of things a fair trial knowing that the problem of universal education is the biggest task of the State and that when properly solved, it means the' State's biggest advancement.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Supervision of Instruction This changin g from year to year in personnel of the teach ing force is not confined to the ranks of city and town teach ers. It is also true of the county corps of teachers in the rural schools. In fact, if there is any difference, the country schools suffer most in this regard. Many teachers who are beginning to teach for the first time every year enter the rural schools. Then, too, many experienced rural teachers are new each year to the particular schools in which they teach. This fact increases the demand for more adequate supervision of the teaching forces of the rural schools, and is gradually bringing about an organization of counties into systems of units that are small enough to make adequate supervision possible. This type of organization gives the county superintendent a corps of supervisors similar to that which the city superintendent has who provides for assistant superintendents and supervising principals for the different wards in his system, and it surmounts one of the chief admin istrative difficulties that has so seriously handicapped the rural schools.

Book Description
Excerpt from Suggestions for Rural Schools The importance of school supervision is recognized everywhere. That the best schools are found in our towns and cities is due largely to the fact that they have had close professional supervision. In urban' communities this has been easily supplied; but the schools of our rural districts, unlike those of our towns and cities, are widely separated: in one county moveover, they number as many as one hundred or one hundred and fifty; yet the entire burden of supervision has been placed on the should ers of the county Superintendent of education.

Book Description
Excerpt from School Supervision Before 1837 Connecticut surpassed the other States in the education of its people. But the mighty engine of supervision wielded by a Horace Mann immediately turned the scale in favor of Massachusetts. Municipal taxation proved a far more powerful instrument than a school fund, although the latter had done good service in its day.* For the support of schools in sparsely settled rural districts, the State School fund and the quota assigned them from the State school-tax are still the most impor tant item. For cities and wealthy communities the local municipal tax is the chief and indeed a sufficient resource, except in those States that have limited the rate of taxation by constitutional provision.
