A New Step In The Mountains
BEREA COLLEGE TAKES OVER CONTROL OF SCHOOL
AT BURNING SPRINGS

Burning Springs has long been
famous for the interest which its
people take in education. Their
enthusiasm has been misled and
disappointed by various impracticable
schemes for the founding Of a
college" in their community. Those
baseless undertakings came to an
end few weeks ago when the school
property Of the so.called college was
sold at sheriiT's sale. The buildings
and grounds were bought in the
name Of Berea College, and Pres
ident Frost made visit 10 Burning
Springs last Saturday and Sunday,
explaining the meaning Of this
movement, which is one Of import

but 10 the entire State

teachers are few and library and

time a greater wrong has been done
10 the less advanced students they

the few who are trying 10 take adj

made upon the work Of any particular
school, but upon the average Of work
done ia schools which have attempted
10 teach advanced subjects without
proper facilities. Berea College has
steadily refused to establish branch

result is that each district contains
but handful Of children. The
wages Of the teacher are small and
his entire time is taken up in giving
instruction to pupils in every grade
OF advancement from the primer to
the higher arithmetic
A better way was discovered some
years ago in the State OF Maine, and
has been put in practice with large
success in Ohio and Wisconsin. The
new plan is that two OF more dis
tricts should be put together. This
means that there can be two teach
ers, one for the older pupils and one
for the younger In this way every
class receives twice as much time as
il had before from the teacher, aud
the children can be properly graded
and classified. In many cases four
districts have been put together;
three teachers would be employed
and the money which would be paid
10 the fourth teacher is used in hiring
wagon 10 bring the children who
live farthest from the school. The
great success Of this system wherever
tried gives assurance that it will be
a success everywhere.
Now the only case OF combined
districts which we know Of in Ken
lucky is Burning Springs. Two dis.
tricts have been put together so as to
give larger number Of pupils.
Berea proposed 10 help this con
solidated district by paying additional
wages so that they can seovre the
best teachers. II will also furnish
some illustrative apparatus and
general oversight, so as to make the
work in the regular common school
studies as good as it can possibly be
made. The younger and less adj
yanced pupils are 30 have their
rights. And thus there will he a
demonstration Of what can be done
wherever two or tE-e districts can
be thrown together so as to give
enough pupils and enough money TO
run really good rural school.
When people see what is done at
Burning Springs it will be copied
elsewhere.
And meanwhile many parents who
are anxious for the education Of
their younger children will move to
Burning Springs in order to secure
these advantages at once. The
school buildings will be put in good
repair. Mr.. Anon Brock, brother Of
the County Superintendent of Leslie
County and a recent graduate from
the Normal Department of Berea,
will have charge of the school.
