RURAL SCHOOLS.
Report of the National Educational
Association Committee.

The report of the committee on rural
schools in the United States, appointed at
the convention of the National Enducation-
al Association in July. 1895, has been COM
pleted and will be submitted at the next
annual gathering. 1t says that for the
purposes of organization, maintenance or
supervision. nothing should be recognized
as the unit smaller than the township or
the county. The school district is the
most undesirable unit possible. Effecting
this change wherever the district system
prevails would conduce to effectiveness ard
simplicity OF organization, economy in
FUNDS. equalization of taxation and to
system OF supervision which would pro-
duce better results. All the subcommittee
favor the consolidation of schools which
are too small to employ profitably the
time OF one teacher into larger schools
when practicable. in order that better in
structinn be provided than is now possible
Every community should be required to
raise certain sum fer the support Of its
schools as prerequisite for receiving its
share OF public money. "A certain definite
sum SHOULD be appropriated 10 each school
out OF the state funds. and the remainder
should be divided in accordance with some
hxed and established rule, a discrimination
being made in favor of townships most
wiling to tax themselves for school pur-
poses. ~
There is embodied an Interesting renort
urging negro teachers for negro schools
IL says the instinct of the educational de-
Eelopment or the negro must be from with
IN and by the race itself. and not SOLELY
through eXtraneous agencies: that the in
'eiiectual and moral dependence Of the
race must not be perpetua.ed; and that
the responsibility of teaching his own race
furnishes incentives and means for race
elevation. The conclusion reached is thai
the instinct of race identity renders i'm
possible the realization of an ideal ,eIa
ton between the white teacher and the
negro pupil.
