The Old Fashioned Country School and Its Lessons
A long editorial essay contrasts the rustic mixed age country school with modern graded systems, praising direct teacher pupil contact and individual growth while lamenting the rise of standardized grades. It cites a tender memory of a country romance, critiques lighthearted “educator” fuss, and urges home school cooperation for healthy development. It includes anecdotes from teachers and notes a forthcoming Russian school for women in Vlorosburg through Prince Wolkowski.
