The Problem in the South (Classic Reprint): An Address Before the Southern Educational Association, Columbia, S. C., Dec. 28, 1901 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A bold address on how the South can educate its people for real life. It argues that universal, practical schooling is the key to future progress.
The speaker examines what really constitutes the commonwealth and why education matters for every generation. He argues that education should fit a person’s nature and life, not just tradition or class. The aim is a practical, industrially oriented education that serves rural families as well as townspeople.
Readers will see a frank look at the South’s schools around 1900: enrollment, attendance, and literacy gaps, especially among white and black children. The talk highlights how school buildings, teacher salaries, and days in class affect learning. It also links education to farming, roads, and agricultural improvement as essential for funding good schools.
- An overview of who attends school and how many actually stay in class.
- Evidence on the state of rural education and the need for industrial training.
- How agriculture and infrastructure influence educational prosperity.
- Arguments for a broader, life-ready education beyond rote basics.
Ideal for readers of educational history and the South’s development in the early 20th century.
