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.
