Excerpt from Possible Consolidations of Rural Schools in Delaware: Based on a Survey of the Public Schools of Delaware
Any considerable advance in the educational opportunity to be provided for the children of Delaware is dependent upon a consolidation of the one teacher rural schools.
It is obvious: to any one who knows the school situation in Delaware or elsewhere that a teacher who is required to teach children from the first to the eighth grade can give relatively little time or attention to anyone group or to any individual. It IS customary to find from eighteen to thirty recitation periods per day 1n these Schools. The usual length of recitation is from five to ten minutes. The teacher has literally no time to teach the children, and not enough time even to hear them recite what supposedly they have been studying during the greater part of the day, without attention or guidance from the teacher.
