Summary: "Farm Boys and Girls" by William A. McKeever is a guidebook focused on the upbringing and education of rural children, written in the early 20th century. It addresses the unique challenges and opportunities faced by boys and girls growing up in farm environments, emphasizing the significance of character development, health, and the moral strength necessary for leading fulfilling lives. The writer's insights appear to be aimed primarily at rural parents looking to nurture their children's growth in a holistic manner, combining both work and play. The opening of the work introduces the central concept of constructing a good life, likening character building to the construction of a house. McKeever outlines key pillars of a "good life" that parents should consider, such as good health, usefulness, moral strength, social efficiency, religious interest, and happiness. He provides a reflective perspective on child development stages, emphasizing the importance of nurturing qualities and experiences in children's lives through guidance, play, and work. This foundational chapter sets the tone for further exploration of comprehensive strategies for raising well-rounded farm children equipped to handle both the challenges of rural life and the broader societal expectations.
