"HE DISTRICT school lacks dig
nifty and social prestige. The
Il graduates of colleges, acade-
mics and town or city high schools
take pride in their "alma mater"
but apart from weak sentimental
ty for "the little red schoolhouse,"
no one feels any keen satisfaction
because of his relation to the district
school, The effect upon the men and
women looking back upon their
school life is not such serious mat
ter; but it is a very serious matter
that country children at an early age
outgrow their respect for the country
school and do not wish to attend it.
A gentleman not long ago visited
a country school and asked this
question of the 26 boy and girl mem
bers: How many of you like to live
in the country? Raise your hands,
all who like to live in the country"
One hand was timidly raised. Then
in answer to the question, How
many do not like to live in the coun-
try?" 25 hands were promptly raised.
The one child who liked to live in
the country was child visiting for
a few weeks in the country.
Why Are You Not Proud of Your
School.
A lack Of pride in the country
school, and country life in general
seems to me to account for the gen
eral unrest among the youth of our
rural communities. The country
school of the past has failed of its
mission, of that there can be no
question. To-day in many localities

it is still a barren, isolated, unkept
place. Many lines of effort are need
ed to make the country school all 1t
should be. but / wish only to empha-
size what may be accomplished
through a community working in
cooperation for the best interests of
the school.
The teacher of the country school
is usually town or city bred, with
little or no interest or understand
ing of rural conditions II she is
successful, she is quite likely to be
transferred to the graded schools of
the town. Thus the corps of rural
teachers is a constantly shifting pop
ulation, and because of this fact
there is always an element of I'M
certainty about succeeding instruc-
tor which works constant disad-
vantage to the school.
The country will never compete
with the town in the employment and
retention Of the best of the teaching
profession until our country districts
are consolidated, thus making posi-
BILE graded school with the equip
ment such as we find in an up-to-
date graded school system Of the

Tho Farmer Who Did Not Need an
Education.
A teacher interested in country
life can do much to bring about an
atmosphere of wholesome content
ment. but the selection OF material
for study is not left with the teach
er. The course of study of the coun-
try school in the past has been Who'll

enough to interfere with the effeien-
cy of this best of institutions. If the
teacher is weak and poorly equip
ped, all the more reason then why
the patrons should rally around that
school and see to it that because of
the misfortune of poor teacher the
school itself shall not suffer.
Personalities and petty grievances
have no place when it is a question
of the education OF the boys and
girls for future citizenship. You
know as well as I OF numerous in
stances of foolish parents who have
withdrawn their children from
school, perhaps for an entire term,
because perchance some one was so
unwise as to laugh at or ridicule a
popularity of manner or dress in a
member of the family. or because OF
real or imagined grievance against
the teacher. You know, and know,
of instances of children being kept
at home throughout an entire tern

THE HOME CIRCLE

BY petulant friend and foe that sneers,
IL She stands defiant through the years.
Guarding the futures open gate,
Alone unchampioned, passionate,
Unreasoning and as fixed as fate
To hostile creed and subtle song,
The roted rules of right and wrong,
That fall so lightly from the tongue,
She shouts one final argument,
On which her soul Of souls is spent,
Deeper than plausible intent.
That, with more zeal than wisdom knows,
More courage than the hate of foes
Or love of native land bestows,
Taking no thought for i'll good
With the blind heart of motherhood,
She fights the battle for her blood.
The voice of many buried age,
Poet and warrior, priest and sage,
Who boarded close her heritage,
And poured into her pulsng veins,
Rich with their slow, mennial gains,
The life that crowned itself and reigns;
The cry of children yet to be,
Whose doom she writes for time to see
In the stern script, Heredty;
o, louder than the roaring mart,
More sweet than any speech of art
The past and future in her heart
And never, never will her face
Proclaim creations prime disgrace,
A mongrel, priceless, hopeless race;
But while her seed shall yet endure,
Clear-eyed their tread shall still be sure,
Their blood be proud and brave and pure,

a School That Did not Train for Life.
1t was my privilege to visit a
country school sometime since, and
the things that | saw there were so
representative of the country school
in general that must speak of them.
The schoolhouse was comparatively
new but had seen much thoughtless
abuse: the grounds were in disorder,
overgrown with weeds and strewn
with school-room litter, the out
buildings were filthy and unsanitary.
the conditions inside the school
house were little better. A bright.
interested teacher and devoted pu-
pills were the redeeming features.

citing upon Latin declensions. and
another group diligently copying
Greek passages from the blackboard.
Whose fault is It that this sort of
condition exists In our country
schools to-day Surely IL is not the
fault of the pupils. not the fault of
the teacher. for the things she must
teach are outlined for the teacher In
advance. Scarcely can II be consid-
cred the fault of those who outline
the course OF study. for they are
more than likely city trained men
and have only the city point OF view.
IT seems to me the people who are
to be held accountable for the lack
OF efficiency in our country schools
are the patrons-the fathers and
mothers whose children attend this
same school. And this leads me TO
the main point-the cooperation OF
the parents in making the country
school a real success.
