Paul Theobald raconte l'histoire des écoles de campagne à une pièce qui ont été répandues dans le Midwest rural au XIXe et au début du XXe siècle.
En se concentrant sur l'histoire éducative de la région à la lumière de l'atmosphère religieuse, économique et politique, Theobald explore le lien étroit entre les préférences éducatives et les opinions religieuses, entre l'économie de la campagne et les expériences éducatives des enfants, et entre la politique du pouvoir local et les perspectives éducatives des impuissants.
Basé son étude sur des recherches archivistiques approfondies, y compris des découvertes de huit États du Midwest, Theobald ne condamne ni ne loue l'expérience d'une école unique. Fournissant une évaluation objective, il examine les dossiers scolaires ruraux, la correspondance des agents scolaires, les textes contemporains, les agendas et les lettres des élèves et des enseignants ruraux.
Alors qu'il tisse ensemble un compte contextualisé des circonstances entourant et au sein des écoles de campagne du Midwest, Theobald souligne que la religion était d'une importance primordiale dans la vie américaine du XIXe siècle. Mais il examine aussi attentivement l'évolution de l'environnement économique à l'œuvre dans les campagnes, en particulier en ce qui concerne le développement de la location agricole généralisée et la consolidation des industries agricoles et connexes. Il met les lecteurs au défi d'analyser comment un passage national d'une vision agraire à une vision industrielle a causé des conflits et de la confusion, introduisant ainsi un changement irrévocable dans la vie rurale américaine.
L'étude de Theobald éclaire l'histoire de l'éducation dans les plaines et met en lumière les fondements sociaux de l'époque.

Hardback. Etat : Fair. Paul Theobald chronicles the history of the one-room country schools that were spread throughout the rural Midwest during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Focusing on the region's educational history in light of the religious, economic, and political atmosphere, Theobald explores the tight connection between educational preferences and religious views, between the economics of the countryside and the educational experiences of children, and between the politics of local power and the educational prospects of the powerless. Basing his study on extensive archival research, including findings from eight midwestern states, Theobald neither condemns nor lauds the one-room school experience. Providing an objective evaluation, he examines rural school records, correspondence of early school officers, contemporary texts, and diaries and letters of rural students and teachers. As he weaves together a contextualized account of the circumstances surrounding and within the one-room country schools of the Midwest, Theobald stresses that religion was of primary importance in nineteenth-century American life. Yet he also looks carefully at the shifting economic environment at work in the countryside, particularly in regard to the development of widespread farm tenancy and the consolidation of agricultural and related industries. He challenges readers to analyze how a national move from an agrarian to an industrial view caused conflict and confusion, thereby introducing irrevocable change into rural American life. Theobald's study illuminates the history of education on the plains and sheds light on the social foundations of the period. N° de réf. du vendeur 00106980501
