The main objective of this study was to procure reliable information on the education, experience, and general character of the rural teaching force of Nebraska, together with the first-hand knowledge of some of the conditions contributing to the home and school environment of these teachers. This knowledge was obtained by means of a questionnaire. It in no way represents theory or generalization, but is an array of facts on the rural teaching force of the State as given by the teachers themselves. The work was done with the cooperation of the graduate school of education in the University of Nebraska, working under the direction of Dr. G. W. A. Luckey, dean of this school. This bulletin is divided into eight chapters, as follows: (1) Movements in Nebraska's educational development; (2) Response, sex, age, and nationality; (3) Education; (4) Experience; (5) The boarding place; (6) Income; (7) Industrial conditions and suggestions of teachers; and (8) A recapitulation. An appendix contains a copy of the questionnaire that was sent to teachers on the status of the rural teacher in Nebraska. (Contains 40 tables, 9 figures, 4 plates, and 29 footnotes.)
