What Rural Schools Must Do to Stop the Farmers Strike
A lengthy 1915 essay argues the farmers are leaving the land and that rural schools, by teaching practical farming, domestic economy, and life-out-of-school work, can reverse the century-old strike. It cites Wright and Page counties Iowa, advocates vocational rural education, and praises Miss Jessie Field and E. Tobin for ruralized schooling improving farmer recruitment and efficiency. It stresses education tied to life, not books alone, to curb farm departures and restore farm productivity.
