BETTER SCHOOLS FOR
 THf RURAL DISTRICTS
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS WORKING WITH THIS
 END IN VIEW.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-Realizng the importance of the rural school prob lem in Arkansas and with the desire to definitely aid and assist in improv- ing and bettering these rural schools, in which a very large percent of boys and girls of the state are receiving practically all the educational train ing they ever get, State Superintend- ent Cook has inaugurated definite and specific line of educational work looking to their improvement. Re gently the professorship of element ary education for the state was estab- lished and Prof. J. l.. Bond was ap- pointed to this new position.
 The position is a new one to the state, though not new one to many of the other southern states where the work and results have been all that could be expected.
 Briefly, the work contemplated is that of improving, bettering and standardizing insofar as possible the rural schools of the state. This spe- cial work is only another effort to help make possible better schools for the rural districts. The boys and girls in the rural communities of the state have not been getting square deal'' in educational advantages and opportunities. It is immensely inn portant for the state that these schools in our rural communities be the best that it is possible to make them.
 The work along this line has al ready begun. At first consolidation of small, weak, isolated schools where possible is being urged throughout the state. Better buildings with more inviting and attractive sur roundings, better attendance and a more thorough system of grading in these schools, helpful supervision and a higher grade of instruction, better sanitary health conditions for the pu- pills and better community and school spirit are some of the plans and purposes in this new work.
 The work will be carried on in con nection with the department of educa- tion. Prof. Bond is finding that the work is being we'll received and the earnest support of every patriotic cit izen is needed in this work.
