The Problem in the South (Classic Reprint): An Address Before the Southern Educational Association, Columbia, S. C., Dec. 28, 1901: An Address Before ... S. C., Dec. 28, 1901 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
A bold address on how the South can educate its people for real life. It argues that universal, practical schooling is the key to future progress.
The speaker examines what really constitutes the commonwealth and why education matters for every generation. He argues that education should fit a person’s nature and life, not just tradition or class. The aim is a practical, industrially oriented education that serves rural families as well as townspeople.
Readers will see a frank look at the South’s schools around 1900: enrollment, attendance, and literacy gaps, especially among white and black children. The talk highlights how school buildings, teacher salaries, and days in class affect learning. It also links education to farming, roads, and agricultural improvement as essential for funding good schools.
- An overview of who attends school and how many actually stay in class.
- Evidence on the state of rural education and the need for industrial training.
- How agriculture and infrastructure influence educational prosperity.
- Arguments for a broader, life-ready education beyond rote basics.
Ideal for readers of educational history and the South’s development in the early 20th century.

Excerpt from The Problem in the South: An Address Before the Southern Educational Association, Columbia, S. C., Dec. 28, 1901
Nothing could be more erroneous than the common impression in the South that the public school is a northern or New England invention. The fact is, that Thomas J efferson was the first conspicuous advocate in this country of free education in common schools supported by local taxation as well as of state aid to higher institutions of learning. To him the schoolhouse was the fountain head of happiness, prosperity and good gov ernment, and education was the holy cause to which he devoted the best thought and efforts of his life. According to Jefferson, the objects of the public school were: I To give to every citizen the information he needs for the transaction of his own business.
