As young people drifted to the cities, one educator asked what the country school could do about it. Kennedy, a dean of education, examines rural life and the urban trend, and argues for a school rooted in the soil around it. A thoughtful case for teaching farm children in a way that keeps the countryside alive.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
