Synopsis
This book presents a suggested course of study for county training schools for African-Americans. It was written in 1917 by the author as part of the movement to establish county industrial training schools for African Americans, led by county school superintendents. Initially, the focus was on training teachers, so schools began with an emphasis on academic work and industrial training to increase opportunities for higher education. The book is organized into 4 sections: primary, elementary, secondary, and teacher training. The primary section (grades 1-5), focuses on practical, hands-on learning, such as gardening, cooking, sewing, and woodworking, along with academic basics. The elementary section (grades 6-7) expands on these skills while adding elements of science and history. The secondary section (grades 8-10) includes more advanced math, science, and history, as well as vocational training in homemaking, farming, and teaching. The book provides a blueprint for a holistic and practical educational approach to empower African-American students with the skills and knowledge necessary to make a living and lead fulfilling lives.
