In some branch of agriculture and
keenly interested in the work, the ay-
erage man is worse of in the country
than in the thronged city.
This takes the Spokane plan to the
first principle, that the child should
be educated along practical lines, and
to bring this about the county school
must be made a new kind of institu-
ton. The rural schools are held by
some to be largely responsible for in.
effective farming. the general lack of
ideals and the rapid drifting from the
country to city. The rural schools are
not declining; they are simply in a
state of arrested development and
have not kept pace with the changed
conditions of life
"We believe the movement will meet
with favor not only in the rural dis
tricts but also in the cities, as every
citizen must be interested in the en-
largement Of the country's agricultural
resources and maintaining the nations
growth This means the full develop
ment of the farm as expressive of all
the social and economic forces that
make for the welfare of the farmer,
the real backbone of the nation, and
those in other lines of endeavor who
are dependent upon his successes"
