Excerpt from A Study of Rural Schools in Karnes County During the school year of 1921-22 the Bureau. Of Ex tension of the University conducted rural school surveys in Wichita, Karnes, and Williamson counties. During the school year of 1922-23 it is the purpose of the Bureau of Extension to conduct similar research investigations in other Texas counties. In this series of surveys will be found a county with millions of oil wealth in it; a county from the timber lands of East Texas; one from the Blackland Belt with its educational and sociological com plications arising from high-priced land, the one crop sys tem, farm tenants and absentee landlords; one from the Western Cross Timbers where loss of rural population has brought about a large amount of social stagnation one from middle west Texas with its thrifty, homogeneous. Home owning English-speaking population; one from the high plains where there is much room fer expansion and where there is a wholesome breadth of vision on the part of most of the people; and one from South-west Texas with its cos mopolitan population of Mexicans and other non-english speaking whites. Thus the rural educational conditions obtaining throughout the state will be covered in a fairly representative way. The object of these studies it twofold: (1) To enable counties in which they are conducted to see where they stand educationally, and to assist them in the work of educa tional self-improvement; (2) To obtain a fund of definite, reliable, comprehensive information on the rural-life situa tion in Texas to be placed at the disposal of students and teachers of education. It is hoped that these studies may make some contribution to the content of the courses in rural education now being offered in the normal colleges and the other colleges of Texas.
