Mr.. Atherton's committee was

and resolutions, which were as fol-
lows:
To the People Of Kentucky:
This conference of many Of your fell
low citizens has had under consideration
the condition of the rural schools
throughout the state and the ways and
means for their improvement. We have
met TO confer with each other In the
hope that we may find the quickest most
effective and most practicable methods
Of relief from the difficulties which lie
Immediately in the way OF improve
ment.
Indifference due to failure to appre-
ciate the real value of education is one
Of the very serious obstacles which has
confronted every movement towards a
higher standard OF educational work. In
the last few years greater interest has
been exhibited generally over the State,
Indicating In decided manner. that our
people were shaking Off the lethargy Of
the past and were aspiring to place the
State ON a sound progressive educational
basis. Every citizen must rejoice over
this awakening and all should now unite
In continuous, earnest effort to atone
for the neglect OF the past. 1t would

state wide rural school conference
was held in Louisville, Wednesday,
March 29, under the auspices of the
Louisville Commercial club.
1t was conference which may best
be designated as "neighborly'-a
conference which discussed the vital
and pressing problems of Kentucky's
rural schools, as man to man, as
neighbor to neighbor, each interested
in finding the proper way to make
over the rural schools of Kentucky,
so that schools which fulfill their
mission-schools which touch intelli-
gently, alphabetically, constantly
and consciously every social and
economic interest that concerns the
community-may take the place Of
the present intolerable rural school
system of the state.
The conference was called to order
at 1920 o'clock in the auditorium of
the Seelbach Hotel.

have a four-horse transportation wagon
or "kid-car' as II is called-whioh
hauls between forty-five and fifty chill
dren to school every day.
Most of us agree that the problem we
have not solved, but must solve, Is how
to make the country school hit country
life. Only that schools fulhlls its mission
which reaches out and touches intelli-
gently, sympathetically constantly and
conscientiously every social and economic
interest that concerns its community.
And so. when l speak OF the CONSOLE
dated school In Virginia, l mean a
grouping. at some central point, of small
schools into a larger school for the pur-
pose of working out this problem OF
making the school serve its community
by intoxicating purposeful education,
and a spirit OF civic service.
The rural people need meeting places
for educational. economic and social
purposes. The consolidated school pro-
vides a proper center for such meetings:
IN other words, the deepest meaning OF
the consolidated school Is that II tends
to socialize community life; IL tends TO
break up unsocial and anti-soclal ten
denotes.
We must get the idea burned into the
brains and hearts OF the farmers and
their wives. that the schools should have,

"And 1t has been proven that

These we're but few of the many
pertinent facts in connection with
better rural schools, which we're en-
phasized by the many speakers at the
convention.
The opening address of Prof. Ellis
worth Resenstein, afterward chosen
as president of the permanent organ
ization, sounded the keynote Of the
conference. He said in part:
I'VE meet today as American citi-
zens, frankly declaring the Stars and
Stripes to be our only protection.
Our coming together is the result
Of movement which has been begun
by the big-hearted, patriotic men OF
the Louisville Commercial club. Dur

hemmed In by a Chinese wall Of dull ur-
pros ressiveness? I am sure we desire to
have this question answered Alright and
mat your iabors will result in the bot
terment OF the primary and fundamental
schools.
Prof. Rhoades then moved that the
temporary organization of the Ken
lucky State Wide Rural School Con-
ference be made the permanent or
ganization Of the ensuing year, and
that the officers and executive COM
mittee Gave authority to call meet
ing OF the organization at any time
and place that they might see At to
forward the work of the conference.
The motion was put to a vote by
Governor Wilson, and passed unani-
mously, the officers for 1911, there
fore being, President, Superintendent
Ellsworth Regenstein, and Secretary,
A. B. Lipsoomb both Of whom had
been acting in the respective capaci-
ties for the temporary organization.
Upon motion of II. II. Cherry, OF
Henderson, the chairman appointed a
committee of five to formulate the
purposes and resolutions of the con-
ference as follows: j. M. Atherton,
chairman; Robert A. Cochran, Nc
Henry Rhoades, T. ]. Coates, and
James Speed.
While this committee was at work,
a brilliant address was delivered by
Prof. Eggleston, of Virginia. who
spoke on the twin problems Of the
rural school Consolidation and
Transportation.
Prof. Eggleston said in part:
We have no ironclad rule, and should
aut have one, because children and
population and community conditions do
not group themselves according to iron
clad rules. We should take the conditions
as we find them. and act accordingly.
suppose the objections are the same
everywhere; that the people will not con-
sent to give up their little schools; that
the distances are too great for the chill
dren to reach the central schools with
out great hardship; that the roads are
too bad to haul the children: that the
children will freeze to death, or at least
be frost-bitten, while waiting for the
wagons or while being transported; and
that the cost is too great.
All of these objections have been met
successfully, declares Prof. Eggleston,
who continued:
During the fifth year Of our policy we
have over 200 wagons running in all
sections OF the State, and urder almost
every possible condition. We have routes
as long as eight miles, and as short as
,wo and a half miles. We have wagons
on good roads and bad roads; on level
roads and mountain roads, on rocky
roads and sand roads: on macadam roads
and red-clay roads. We have transpor-
tation wagons on the latest and most
modern type. and we have ordinary farm
wagons fitted up for the new and prec-
lous freight. We have one-horse and two

Il was the opinion Of the Confer
ence that so far as the country boy
and girl in the South are concerned,
1t Is the duty of the state, and IL is
for the best interests OF the State,
to make the country school at the

to love country life, but to give to

we can interest the girls in homs

Kentucky is an agricultural State. The
great majority of her people are en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits. These
people are spread out over the country
living separate and apart In their many
homes. This condition of life presents
problems dissimilar In many ways from
those to be considered by the cities and
towns. Chief among these problems Is
the education of the children. In pro-
viding school houses and in sending the
chilren to these houses the cities and
towns have much simpler task than the
counties. The former enjoy the advan-
tages Of a more efficient and comprehen-
sive cooperation. They act as units.
They move as one body. They impose
taxes and distribute the revenue
throughout their corporate limits In this
way and through this cooperation,
school houses are more readily con-
structed and maintained. The children
have shorter distances to so and gem
orally have smooth roads and in the
larger places street-cars.
These questions now come up for solu-
tion-how should school houses be con-
structed to meet the requirements of
established sanitary laws in order to
protect and promote the health of the
children. and how can the money be
obtained for building these houses in
the various counties of the State? This
is not the time or place to go into de-
tailed description of a sanitary school,
house. 1t is sufficient now to state that
every schoolroom should be large

The first address on the report OF
the committee was made by Cover

resolutions. Governor Wilson made
a rousing speech. prefacing his talk
by saying that 'for thirty years, in
