A Study of Rural School Conditions in Quebec in so far as they affect agricultural education : containing suggestions as to improvements in these conditions, and the possibility of introducing a system of agricultural education suitable to this province by bringing about such improvements.

| Abstract |
In 1914, the author was hired by McGill University's Macdonald College "to obtain a general idea of conditions in rural schools in so far as they related to work of an agricultural nature." He spent that summer visiting schools in the Eastern Townships and west Quebec (Argenteuil, Pontiac and Wright counties) to determine local needs and conditions of the schools, “to report upon them, and at the same time furnish suggestions which might be of assistance to the [Macdonald] college in carrying on extension work in rural schools." Of special historic relevance of this author's report/thesis is that he describes, and provides photographs, of the English-language rural schools he visited.
