In 1912 local education leaders in Iowa attempted to implement a new model of rural education that seeked to combine the advantages of both city and country, the initially successful model soon collapsed. Reynolds considers why the scheme was resisted and what the consequences of its failure are.

Description
Despite being the centerpiece of rural educational reform for most of the twentieth century, rural school consolidation has received remarkably little scholarly attention. The social history and geography of the movement, the widespread resistance it provoked, and the cultural landscapes its proponents sought to transform have remained largely unexplored. Now in There Goes the Neighborhood David Reynolds remedies this situation by examining the rural school consolidation movement in that most midwestern of midwestern states, Iowa.
