Abstract

(1) OF recent years a great movement has been gathering force in the United States towards an improvement of country life. It is felt that rural civilisation should develop on its own lines, which would not necessarily be those followed by urban civilisation. The worker in the country is brought more into contact with things than with men: his environment differs fundamentally from that, of the townsman, and his training and outlook on life must be modified accordingly. This movement found expression on the political side in Mr. Roosevelt's famous country life campaign, and on its educational-side in Dr. L. H. Bailey's inspiring writings. If anything is to be done it must be through the teacher; Mr. Foght therefore, Jn the first book on the list, addresses himself. to the task of showing, what part the school and the teacher ought to play, not only in training the children and the young people, but also in assuming leadership and direction in the new movement.
