To the Patrons OF the Country District
Schools of Missouri.

The National Commission on Coun-
try Life has suggested that the peo-
pie meet in their respective district
school houses to discuss the questions
of most vital interest to this com
munity.
In response to this suggestion and
on account of my deep interest in the
country district schools, have des-
ignated Friday evening, January Is.
as the date on which the people are
asked to assemble at their respective
school houses to determine the needs
of the community aud to devise
means Of supplying such means.
1t has been suggested by the com-
mission that the economic, social,
sanitary and educational status of
each community be ascertained, and
so far as possible, means of supplying
deficiencies agreed upon.
Believing as do that the educa-
tional interest is most vital TO every
community and knowing that the
country district school must educate
a large majority of the children of
Missouri, | would respectfully urge
that the meetings held on January
10 be devoted to the discussion of the
question "How Improve the Country
District SCHOOL," This question may
include: School house site, kind of
school building, furniture, outbuild-
ings. school supplies, sanitation,
school libraries, qualifications of
teachers, length of term, tenure of
teachers, cooperation of parents,
practical studies, proper training of
farmers children, relation of school
to home life, etc, etc.
Whatever the educational questions
of most vital interest to your com
munity, get together on Friday night,
January Is, 1909, talk them over and
plan for Improvement. There is
nothing too good for the children,
let us work together to give them
better schools.
If the people will use this oppor-
tunity to study local conditions, much
good is sure to result. Let school
boards, teachers. pupils, patrons and
other friends of education, begin at
once to plan for rous,ng meeting.
Allow me to urge all who read this
letter to give the movement the
greatest possible publicity shall
be glad 20 receive a report Of your
Injecting If possible,
Yours for better schools
