people who will choose to remain in
the country and they will find pleasure
and profit in doing so.
Country School is Most Important.
The two greatest forces in the i'm
prOvement of country life are the home
and the country school - the mother
and the teacher. And a more sympa-
thetic attitude Of the home toward the
work of the school cannot fail to en-
rich the training of the children. The
most important single educational In
terest in Illinois today is the country
school, for 80 per cent of the country
children get their only training in
country schools.
Nine Parks I'm Every Township.
II 90 years ago Illinois had made a
law that every country school should
have two acres for site, and II the
people had planted trees, shrubs and
vines on those two acres, today we
would have from seven to eleven beau
tifuI parks In every township. But
look over your home school grounds
and see what we do have. There is
no better time than now to make the
school grounds moro attractive. Be
come a member of the Outdoor I'm
provement association and create SEN
timent for a more beautiful Illinois.
With it goes the indoor movement to
secure better sanitation, decoration,
libraries, ETC. Organization Of parent
teacher clubs will surely socialize the
country community. Organized play
on the country school grounds will
spiritualize childhood and train the
country children to play as unit, &C.
custom them to team work, and there
Is more likelihood of cooperation
among these boys when they become
men, and cooperation is one great les
son the farmer needs to learn.
Train Boy to Make worthy Living.
Too long has the subject matter
taught in the country led away from
the farm. Not only a worthy life
be the aim, but also to make a worthy
living in a worthy way. We may be
teaching some things that are not at
all related to the life on the farm.
Elementary agriculture, domestic econ
omy, farm mechanics and manual
training will enrich the course and
give the boy and girl saner view Of
country life.
The consolidation Of schools will
make possible a country high school,
the study in which should be favored
with country life and interests and not
merely fit a very few fol a literary
course in a distant university. I'LL

SCHOOL FOR COUNTRY LIFE

children. 1t is not necessary to dig up
the country home by the roots and
take it to the city in order that the
boys and girls may have better
school 1t is questionable whether a
city school, no matter how good. can
furnish the particular training for a
richer country life. Only a reorgan-
lied, vitalized country school can solve
the problem. And the new country
school cannot at all begin the solution
of this problem unless the farmers be-
lieve more In their own schools and
support them better. There is no
other way. A trained teacher in a good
sanitary house with beautiful grounds
is the great thing needed.
Satisfying Only In Money.
A bin of high-bred corn or a fine car
load of hogs is all right. The farm
must make money. But so far country
life is satisfying only in a financial
way and many farmers are staying on
the soil only long enough to get finan-
cial satisfaction, and then escaping
with their families to the cities. We
should have the 100-bushel farmer who
finds a pleasure in remaining in the
country The right kind of ideals in
the country school taught by a teacher
who is in sympathy with all that is
richest and best in country life will
give the children finer ideals, and in
a generation we will have a race of

Country Teachers association Of Hi
nois on rural education, and showed
many lantern slides. several of them
beautifully coIored, to illustrate IL
years of his successful work in school
Improvement. This is probably the
finest list of pictures in existence
showing a wide range in transforma-
ton from very poor to very attractive
difference in the comfort, sanitation
and beauty of the school room. He
said:
Education for country life should
make that life more satisfying. Many
farmers that move to town for better
privileges seem to forget they have
any responsibility to the little country
school left behind, and often instruct
their tenants to vote for school officers
who will keep the tax rate down. Such
an educational policy never will de-
velop strong men and women to re-
store and maintain the fertility of the
land and thus make a permanent sys-
tenn of agriculture. It cannot make
country life satisfying to the young
people.
