Rural cooperation and the American school system
An essay argues cooperation falters in the United States due to urban growth and badly organized rural districts. It contrasts European village life with American towns, blames rural schools for stunting cooperation, and proposes reorganizing rural districts into larger, center-based units with accessible roads and shared services to foster community spirit and enduring rural life.

Ideal rural school district layout and survey implications
The author compares European curvilinear roads with our rectangular survey, presenting a sixteensection district centered on a school and roads built to reach that center. The plan claims to save land and time, proposing reorganizing counties into thirty six districts to shorten pupil walking distances and improve civilization.
