The Problem of Rural Education.

The Lewiston State Normal School
has collated statistics concerning the
educational situation in the state which
may surprise the people of Idaho. The
percentage of illiterates in Idaho is the
same as that in the state of Nebraska
nineteen years ago. In the latter state,
revival of interest in education, par
ticularly in respect to the better train
ing OF rural teachers, occurred during
the early 90s, with the result that the
ratio Of illiterates has been decreased
from l2.6to3. A further result of this
educational awakening has been indi-
Gated in the increased number of stu
dents who have achieved higher edu-
cation.
In seeking cause for the large per-
centage of illiterates in Idaho, we are
confronted with the following statistics:
In Idaho, 6 per cent. of population lie
urban, "a per cent rural in Montana
27.7 per cent. of population is urban; in
Washington ss per cent. of population
is urban; in Oregon, % per cent. of
population is urban.
Consequently, in no other state in
The northwest is the situation so plainly
indicated. PROFESSIONALLY, the solu-
ton of the problem of raising the edu-
cational standard Of the state, and low
ering the illiteracy, will be found in the
better training of rural school teachers.
To achieve this end, the Lewiston State
Normal School has instituted special
course for che training of rural teachers.
In the forthcoming catalog, an outline
Of the course will be presented.
In addition to this feature of progress,
the institution is getting in touch with
unframed teachers in rural districts,
and impressing them with the necessity
ofspecialized preparation.
in this work, the state and county
educational officials are cooperating
with the Normal School, and, with
general awakening of interest, it looks
as though Idaho would out distance
Nebraska in educational progress.

land 1915. The new rates which go

This reduction will be the means of saw

secure a reduction in freight rates and
express rates. Another bill praying for
a reduction in rates from New York
City to all points in southern Idaho has
been filed and hearing on the same
will be held in the course of 80 or 60
