DUTIES OF THE RURAL SUPERVISORS

The coöperative program between the University and the County of Albemarle
made possible the employment of two superior rural supervisors, bringing the
supervisory staff for elementary schools to five. These two supervisors, in addition
to supervising all elementary schools in the districts assigned to them, direct
the training of rural supervisors.

In order that there may be adequate opportunity for experimentation in one-room
schools two schools within easy reach of the University have been chosen
for special study and demonstration by the rural supervisors. It is hoped that the
record of achievement in these two schools may serve as an example and stimulus,
not only to the schools of the county, but of a much wider area.
