Synopsis

Explore how Denmark educates its rural communities, from smallholder training to household economics. This nonfiction study gives a grounded look at the country’s rural schools, their practical aims, and how they connect learning to everyday life on farms and in villages.

In clear, accessible language, the book describes the range of Danish programs that serve farmers, artisans, and rural families. It highlights hands‑on courses, model farms, and women’s household training as they prepare people to work, live, and participate in their communities.

• Profiles of schools like Kaerehave and Haraldsborg, and their hands‑on approaches to farming, kitchen work, and home life.


• Details on eleven‑day courses, short programs for adults, and the way courses are funded and organized.


• How rural schools align with the needs of smallholders, families, and local economies.


• Illustrations of student life, class structure, and the emphasis on practical habits and everyday competence.

Ideal for readers curious about rural education, adult learning, and the history of Denmark’s unique folk and rural school movement.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The day of pioneering is at an end, and the period of land exploitation, in the midst of which we have been living, is likely to yield soon to genuine husbandman farming. I ndeed, new adjustments in national life are forcing the changes upon us. We must either become a nation of scientific producers from the soil or we shall soon find ourselves reduced to the condition of older nations whose civilization has long suffered from the effects of diminishing returns. The United States is no longer solely agricultural. In fact, we are to-day half agricultural and half industrial, and our organized industrial centers will probably continue to outgrow the rural communities. The immediate proof of our unbalanced national life can be seen in the fact that the agricultural production does not any longer keep pace with the demands made upon it. The Federal Census for 1910 shows that in the ten years from 1899 to 1909 agricultural production in the United States increased less than 10 per cent, while the population increased all of 21 per cent. The American boast has been that we can feed the world. And yet, during the past year our imports in meat products have far exceeded the exports.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
