Woman's Role in Agriculture
Oklahoma's Superintendent of Education believed that productive agricultural practices could not exist in the absence of the traditional farm family, complete with husband, wife and children. Superintendent Cameron believed that God assigned to women the roles of wife and mother. He urged others to join him in a crusade to support teaching of domestic science. It was, he argued, "not so much from the intellect of man as from the heart of woman that our people must be elevated." [1] 1.
