public schools be turned into more or
less imperfect training class for teach
ers. The majority of the pupils do
not expect to teach school, and GER
tainly all of them could not be teach
ers even if they did wish it.
The students of the State University
are numerous and influential body.
Men have gone out from the State
University that have reflected credit
on their state and her University.
But they also are class less numerous
than the teachers, and if elementary
education is to be fitted for their
special convenience, / think it is
time the rights Of the majority be in
sisted upon.
The elementary and secondary
schools should have in mind the in
terests of the great majority of their
pupils who will never be either
teachers or students at higher in
stitution of learning. The instruction
they give should reach fitting con-
clusion of it's own. These schools
have their special problems to solve,
their special duties to fulfil. They
should have all individuality Of their
own and not be considered sort of
an abridged edition of the State Uni
versity.
We shall never be able to settle the
question of the curriculum fairly un-
less we go back to the fundamental
principles that underlie our system Of
free public schools. They are for the
masses and their duty is to train for
good citizenship.
Acting upon these principles, we
should take into account, first of
all the nature and needs of the child
in order that the schools might help
him to normal, healthy develop
ment. Good citizenship demands
strong, healthy bodies. In select
ing the subject matter, we would
choose primarily that knowledge
of most worth to the masses,
and the training would be such that
the pupils were better able to control
their environment and earn living
than they would have been without
it. The school would take into ac-
count it's duty to the state and train
the future citizens in habits of indus
try and self-reliance
A school system that takes into con-
sideration the nature and needs of the
child will not ignore his environment
and will make suitable provision fol
his industrial training, unless the
conditions of his home life make
ample provision for it. The conditions
of life in a rural community afford
ample physical exercise and manual

from it's economic value. 1t is worth
while because of it's effect on huma M
character. The care and culture of
the soil was one of the first great
sources of uplift to the human soul.
To plant and rear tree is all ethical

would have the common schools
Of Nebraska adopt the spirit of Arbor
Day as we'll as observe it. The school
buildings are many of them shabby;
very few have any architectural
beauty. The people are poor and
school funds are limited. But Nebras-
ka has plenty of land, and the people
might be taught to make a better use
of it.
The schools might become centers
of growth for a civic conscience. 1t
would be worthy work for any rural
teacher to set the example by begin
ming to beautify the school grounds
|
planting and caring for trees, and these
would be for the generations yet to
come. The immediate effect might be
obtained by planting flowers. There
is abundant and unused opportunity
for the school garden in Nebraska.
The school garden has many possibili-
ties and lends itself to number of
excellent educational exercises 1t
will teach nature study actively and
furnish first hand experimental knowl-
edge. The effect on children is some
thing extremely beautiful.
This is not the dream of all idealist.
School gardens are not only a posi-
bility they are a realization. They
have been used successfully as all ad-
junct to literary work in the school
room. There are a great many school
gardens successfully used in the differ
ent states at the present time and in
Europe there are over eighty thous-
and school gardens.
I know of this work and L have
tried it with fair measure Of sue
cess. There are practical difficulties
in the way, but results Justify the
amount of effort called forth, and it
helps to destroy that very popular de-
lusion that all education is something
you must get sitting down and quite
at your ease.
This leads me to some popular con-
, ceptions of what an education is and
J what it should do for the possessor.
Our school system is an inheritance
} and a development. 1t is system of
} eduation essentially aristocratic in
J spirit, adopted by a democratic people
for their free public schools
In the early days education was
The Conservative, 1901-10-17

There is still pretty general belief
that an education is something that
will enable a person to make a good
living without hard work. 1t is a
! training that makes for some sort of
Earteel employment. A young man
gets All education that will enable
him TO get away from the farm, not
training that will help him to con-
troll hiseenvironment and develop it's
possibilities Education as applied to
the rural schools is a way of escape
and not a training that makes for
special adaptation -
The duty Of the school to the state,
what is it? To train men and women
for good citizenship. And will the
schools do their duty to the state by
giving purely literary education
that fits the pupils for non -produtive
employment? Will they do it by in
culcating ideals Of life that are away
from agriculture, industrial pursuits
and commerce? Does state need moro
producers or consumers?
The schools cost money. Somebody
pays the bills. Who is it? The
producers, primarily, for for they
created. 1t does not exist and
legislation can not produce it, al
though it may succeed in giving all
unfair division. These are truisms?
Quite true, but they are truths not
always acted upon. When funda-
mental truths are no longer deter
mining factor in the conduct of affairs,
it is time they be emphasized and
brought back into view.
The first duty of the common
schools is to give such training to the
pupils as will fit them for the funda-
mental callings of life. They will
teach thoroughly the fundamental
branches, not attempting to teach all
useful information but aiming rather
to make the pupil able to acquire such
information for himself when he may
need to use it.
Trained to habits of industry and
self-reliance, the specially gifted boy
or girl may seek for higher calling
and larger possibilities. They have
a sure foundation Oh which to build.
The great majority have then received
all education that fits them for their
environment and interests them in it,
All ways of life have their draw
backs and their compensations. The
farmers life is not ideal 1t
has it's limitations and it's hard
ships, but there are many compensa
tions, and there are many possible
compensations never utilized. There
is room for much improvement in the
ideals of life that dominate the public
mind and herein the public schools
may do a worthy work, for the char
acter of the education determines
largely the character of the pupil.
There are many things worth the do
ing that call forth little comment and
, the real benefactors of the race are
{ often forgotten, but not always.
