Many years ago Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky was summoned to Wash
ington in the middle of June to look
after small matter of patronage.
His departure was so sudden and the
prospect of his staying more than a
day or two away from home so remote
that he carried with him only a hand
bag. But business heaped up on him
after his arrival at the capital, and he
was obliged to telegraph back re-
quest for a trunkful of summer cloth
ing. His little daughter happened to
be the only member of the family at
home when his dispatch arrived, and,
thinking it her duty to respond
promptly. she packed trunk and ship
ped it, first slipping a note inside, as
follows:
Dear Papa-I send you all the clothes
can find and hope you are we'll
The trunk contained seven white
shirts, six winter scarfs, one tooth
brush, one bowie knife and two re-
yolyers 1t was rueful outlook for
Blackburn, with the thermometer up
among the nineties. but he listened to
no proffered condolences. My daugh-
ter has done right he said "She
sent me what a real Kentucky girl re-

gentleman" - Harper's Weekly.

AS rule, the country people are
loyal to the country school. They
have every reason to be loyal to them.
In the first place. they are the only
schools they have in the second place,
they can point with pride to the scores
of young men and women, products of
the common schools, who are making
a grand success of life's work in every
field of labor. While the rural schools
have been making rapid advances dur
ing recent years, yet it must be ad-
mitted by fair-minded people that
there is room for improvement. The
fact that the rural schools have pro-
duced an untold number of our worth
lest men and women, the fact that the
| common schools have attained high
degree of efficiency is not justi6ca-
tion for educational men, for patrons
of the common schools and for those
who frame our laws to call a halt,
stack arms and take to their tents to
dream over the victories won; but all
should join hands in one grand uni
versal march toward the land of ulti-
mate perfection in our rural school
system.
Rural school pupils should be more
regular in attendance. The boy who
/ attends school two or three days each
week throughout the school term will
gain little knowledge from books while
he is building the foundation for a
most pernicious habit-that of doing
things ~ halves. A business man or 9
professional man who neglects his
patrons two or three days in each
week or an artisan who labors only
when the sun shines will never make
a success in life. Life is one grand
procession of stern realities and those
realities are mobalized in the school
room from whence they take up their
march and move forward Increasingly
until the end of each life.
Our present ICON puIsory attendance
law" should be revised. The state OF
Minnesota owes every boy and gil,
capable Of receiving it, common
school education, it not only owes
them this much but it should see to il
that they receive it. It is true thai
there is law upon the statute books
called "The Compulsory Attendance
Law" but it were almost as well il
the law had never been enacted, since
there is not proper provision for it,
enforcement, and the result is, as one
might expect it lies dormant. The
highest good of the individual and the
welfare Of the state demand thai
each boy and girl should receive {
common school education. Statisti
clans glory over the fact that the pei
cent of illiteracy is small in the state
but. should they compare the number
who complete the eighth grade work
in common or graded schools with thu

THE NEEDS OF THE RURAL SCHOOLS

whole population of our state, it is
evident to those, who give the matter
some thought, that the result would
not be such as would delight the OPP
tomist. A boy who can barely manage
to write his own name or to read it
after it is written is not classed as an
illiterate but it must be admitted that
he has not an education, either has
he enough education to make the
most of life or to be of much service
to his state. It is true that there are
thousands among our best men and
women who never had the advantage
of enough education to do more than
read and write little, but who can
say how much more they. might have
accomplished had they had greater sd-
vantages when they were young.
State aid has been given to a few
schools scattered over the state. 1t
should be given to more schoo]s-it
should be given to all. It seems un-
fair to appropriate considerable sum
of money, collecting it from eoch and
every district in the state, and dis
tributing it to favored or fortunate
schools. In other words, a considera-
BILE sum of money has been appropri-
ated for direct aid to common schools
and the same law that appropriates
the money sets up an impossible quail
| fication for its distribution. The i'm
possible qualification is an educational
! qualification for the teacher of the
school to which the aid is given.
There are, in the state, only q few
hundred first grade teachers available
| for common school work, therefore it
is physical impossibility for about
six thousand common schools to meet
the requirement of the law. State aid
should be given to all schools kept in
condition for doing efficient work and
in which efficient teaching has been
done. The state is amply able to aid
all her schools, and anything that
promotes the welfare of the common
/ eSuOOAS is WOIlDy VI Inc mOSG LuOuSue-
full consideration of all for whatever
aids one part of our educational sys-
tenn aids every part.
Rural people should give the matter
Of legislation along educational lines
greater consideration 1t is true that
laws placed upon statu.e books will
not make schools, but it is true that
wise laws. properly enforced, will
open the way for rapid advances. The
Institution of public education is the
greatest we have among us; yet, until
recent years, there mas been little
legislation looking to the betterment
of that institution in rural communi
ties. The next legislature will have
the problem OF common school educa-
tion brought before it in a most forci-
BILE manner and it is safe to say that
it will receive the most careful consid-
