Education in the South

This is the story of public education from 1900 to 1924 in the states that constituted the Confederacy. It gives a view, not only of the actual educational situation in 1900, but also of the social, economic, and political conditions that had prevailed there for two or three decades following the Civil War and were important to the educational problems of the South. Originally published in 1924.
