Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Teacher of Nebraska Sir: I am submitting herewith for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education the report of a survey of the status of the rural teachers of Nebraska, made under the direction of the graduate school of education in the University of Nebraska. The survey was undertaken to ascertain the exact status of the rural teachers of the State in regard to their academic and professional preparation; their teaching experience and length of service; their sex, age, and nationality; and such contributory factors in teaching efficiency as salary, living conditions, and the like. The survey is, in fact, a study of the preparation and efficiency of rural-school teachers, which may be considered typical of similar studies which might be made in other States. The work was done with the cooperation of the graduate school of education in the University of Nebraska by a group of graduate students, working under the direction of Dr. G. W. A. Luckey, dean of this school. Much reliable material was procured on the education, experience, and general character of the teaching force of the State, together with first-hand knowledge of the conditions that contribute much to the home and school environment of the teachers. The collection and classification of the data are based upon scientific methods and should be of real value to the teaching profession of the country. Respectfully submitted.
