Throughout the period investigated, the quality of rural space always was an important topic in these debates. In the pedagogic discourse, rural space was perceived as more natural or closer to nature, compared with urban space. This did not only concern the outer nature (landscape, plants, animals) but also the nature of human relationships. This naturality of rural space was coupled to specific pedagogic qualities: on the one hand it was imagined that rural space would provide ideal conditions for growing up away from the spoiling influences of urban civilisation. On the other hand, growing up in rural space was also believed to be linked to specific harmful influences like poor hygienic standards, or the opportunity to observe sexuality among animals or adults. School was ascribed a specific role within this discursive setting, namely to facilitate a process of selection between the desirable and the undesirable elements of the "more natural" rural space.
