The Rural Teacher in the Early 1900s: Sentimental Image and Hard Reality.
Manke, Mary Phillips
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v9 n2 p57-65 Fall 1993

Teachers were often young and poorly prepared in academics and pedagogy, and they struggled with disobedient students for control of the school. (KS)
