Abstract
The majority of the public schools in Crawford County, as in other counties of Kansas, are under the supervision of a County Superintendent. The schools under the supervision of this office are divided into two classes, rural schools having an eight-months' term and graded schools having a nine-months' term. The rural schools employ one teacher, while the graded schools employ two or more teachers.
This study deals with the comparative efficiency of eighteen rural schools and nine graded schools of Crawford County. The school efficiency was based on the scores made in the county examinations by the eighth grade pupils of these respective schools. The results of this examination show a variation in the efficiencies of the different schools studied. The writer has selected certain factors which he felt might throw some light upon the efficiencies of the various schools of this study.
The scholastic preparation of the board members, their tenure of office as a board member, and the certification of the teachers employed by the various boards were considered as factors which might influence the efficiency of the schools studied.
