Summary "New Ideals in Rural Schools" by George Herbert Betts is an educational treatise written in the early 20th century. This work addresses the pressing needs and challenges of rural education, advocating for a more effective and enriching school system to meet the unique context of country life. The book emphasizes the importance of adapting school curricula and organization to better serve the agricultural community and foster a connection between schools and rural life, thereby mitigating the trend of students leaving for urban opportunities. At the start of the book, the author lays out the fundamental problems facing rural schools, highlighting their often inadequate educational facilities, short school years, and poor financial support. Betts discusses the social and economic factors contributing to the decline in rural education and stresses the need for improved community engagement with local schools. He argues for a reorganization and consolidation of these schools to better serve the educational needs of children living in agricultural environments, ensuring that education remains relevant and effective in preparing students for life on the farm and beyond.
