NEED BETTER SCHOOLS
Educators Will Have TO Turn Their
Attention to County Schools.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago - The little red school
house" is so "unattractive" that more
than twO-thirds of the 12,000,CG0 pu'
pills in the rural public schools fail to
reach a high standard in their
studies"
That condition was described as a
menace to educational progress and as
one Of the reasons why the country
child looks longingly toward the city,
in a report submitted before the ma
tional council of education. The coun
Gil met preliminary to the opening
here of the fifteenth annual conven
tion Of the National Educational AS
sOCiaton. The conditions surrounding
the traditional "little red schoolhouse"
were described as so deplorable that
the council considered a plan to have
the national association employ an ex-
pert to investigate and report on ru-
raj districts.
f. r. Fairchild, state superintendent
.Of public instruction, Topeka, Kans.,
and James Y. Joyner, Raleigh, n. C.,
declared that the country child is the
neglected child and the country school
house is neglected. They said the i'm
portance Of rural education was shown
in the fact that OF the 100000 school
children in the United States, 12,OOO,-
600 attended country schools, yet less
than one-third of the rural pupils were
able to meet their grades.
"There must be a revival Of interest
in the country school if the educa-
ton Of the country is to progress" +"
said Mr. Joyner. eve must cease CEN
terhg all our attention on the city
school, There must be aroused in the
schoolhouse in the destr, on the
mountain or on the farm a love Of
rural life and not hatred Of it, Neg
lect our rural schools and they will be
deserted; make them attractive and
comfortable, and education will flour
ish."
The teaching Of scientific farming
and fruit growing with special refer
ence TO local conditions were recon-
mended as an incentive to renewed in.
terest in rural education.
