Demands for Better Rural School Teaching Standards
The state board of public affairs urges reforms to raise teacher training. Beginning January 1, 1916 ninth and tenth grade work should precede the six week professional course, with further graduation requirements by 1917 and 1918. Rural teachers are criticized for weak reading instruction, linked to insufficient training. The board cites New Richmond and county training schools as success models and proposes staged entrance requirements culminating after 1919 with completion of two high school years before entering teacher training.
