Our Rural Magazine
''Our Rural Magazine'' was a monthly magazine produced between 1926 and 1946 by the WA Correspondence School of the Education Department of Western Australia for school children who were located in isolated circumstances. In the inter-war period, many isolated rural localities did not have primary schools, and the students were required to have their education by correspondence. The magazine was based in Perth. It was operated by the Education Department, with writers such as James Pollard and John K. Ewers. Heads of various institutions wrote on topics related to their position; in the September 1933 edition the Government Botanist C.A.Gardner wrote an article, and the curator of the museum Ludwig Glauert conducted a correspondence column. Senior community leaders made encouraging messages to the isolated students, such as this one from Field Marshal Sir William Birdwood: I earnestly advise you to take full advantage of the educational correspondence classes that are open t ...

Education Magazines
Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills.
