A Proposed School System For Metcalfe County, Kentucky, Thomas Butler
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of this study is to propose for Metcalfe County a school system that will come nearer meeting the standards of a good educational system than the one now in use. It is by no means expected that this proposed system will be perfect and the writer fully realizes that oftentimes a scheme on paper will not work out so well when actually put into practice. However, being acquainted with the amount of money available, the geographic and economic conditions, and the roads of the county it is the best that can be done under existing circumstances.

Reasons For Pupil Drop-Outs In Mclean County Schools, Chloe Blanchard
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In the papers, educationaljournals and occasionally in farm magazines and other periodicals we read of the unsatisfactory school conditions prevalent in the state of Kentucky.
As a citizen, student, teacher and would-be educator in this beautiful state, it appears desirable to determine to some degree whether or not inadequate school programs exist in Kentucky and if so to locate some of the factors determining them. Obviously the field is too broad to be covered in a single investigation.
This particular study has been concentrated in one small county of the state. As it proceeded, broader and broader avenues for investigation …

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The present educational status of Pulaski County has evolved through more than a century of slow progress.

(1) To preserve some rare materials in peril of passing into oblivion, such as primitive reports, given by the first trustees, pioneers of the primeval districts; the first notice issued by the …

A Study Of The Public School System Of Nelson County, Earl Huber
A Study Of The Public School System Of Nelson County, Earl Huber
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Only seven years more than one hundred years ago, 1838, Kentucky’s public school system was established. Few Kentuckians conceived of a state-wide public school system. Many of the citizens were conservative and inclined to look upon a scheme of public education with doubt and disfavor; they were accustomed to the traditional plan of private education. In Nelson County, as in the rest of Kentucky, the early sponsors of public education were confronted with the problem of building sentiment for such a public service. Their task was one of establishing schools. Their chief goal was one of providing a school service, …
