Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'School Acres' is a compelling exploration of the Penn School on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, documenting a pioneering era in African American education and rural community development. Written by Rossa B. Cooley, who served as the school's principal, the work offers an intimate look at the transformation of the Sea Islands' landscape through agricultural training and social reform. The narrative centers on the intersection of education and land, illustrating how the school sought to empower the Gullah Geechee population by integrating practical farming skills with academic learning.The book provides a vivid account of the daily lives, struggles, and triumphs of the islanders as they worked to achieve economic independence in the early twentieth century. Through personal anecdotes and institutional history, 'School Acres' examines the philosophy that viewed the entire community as a classroom. It highlights the school's role not just as an educational facility, but as a vital social center that preserved local traditions while introducing modern agricultural techniques.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'School Acres, an Adventure in Rural Education' is an insightful and pioneering account of the Penn School on St. Helena Island, South Carolina. Written by Rossa B. Cooley, who served as the school's principal for decades, this work details the transformative power of education within a rural African American community. Through vivid narratives and historical reflection, the book explores how the Penn School integrated academic learning with practical agricultural and community development, fostering self-reliance and social progress among the Gullah people.The narrative captures the unique adventure of tailoring educational methods to the specific needs of a rural, sea-island environment. Cooley illustrates the challenges and triumphs of teaching modern farming techniques, home economics, and health while respecting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of the island's inhabitants. More than just a pedagogical study, 'School Acres, an Adventure in Rural Education' serves as a vital historical document of the early 20th-century movement for racial uplift and educational reform in the American South.
