Book Overview

The Consolidation Of Country Schools: And The Transporting Of The Scholars By Use Of Vans is a book written by H. H. Longsdorf and published in 1901. The book discusses the consolidation of small rural schools in the United States and the transportation of students to larger, centralized schools using vans. Longsdorf argues that consolidation and transportation could provide a better education for rural students by allowing for more specialized teachers and curriculum, as well as better facilities and resources. He also believed that consolidation could save money by reducing the number of small schools and teachers needed.The book includes detailed descriptions of consolidation and transportation methods, as well as case studies of successful implementations in various states. It also addresses concerns and criticisms of the consolidation movement, such as the loss of community identity and the potential for increased transportation costs.Overall, The Consolidation Of Country Schools: And The Transporting Of The Scholars By Use Of Vans provides a historical perspective on the consolidation of rural schools and the use of transportation to improve education in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
