Easily Remedied

People love to perplex themselves
and then depend on some one TO get
them. out Of the muddle," says Henry
Miller. and as an example. he gives
the following:
"A famous Chicago lawyer once had
a singular case TO settle. A physician
came to him in great distress. Two
sisters. living In the same house, had
babies OF equal age. who so resembled
each other that their own mothers
were unable to distinguish them when
they were together Now 1t happened
that by the carelessness OF the nurses
the children had become mixed. and
how were the mothers to make sure
that they received back their own In
fants7
But, perhaps said the lawyer.
the children weren't changed at ALL
"'Oh. but there's no doubt that they
were changed, said the physician.
"'Are you sure Of IT.?

you change them back again? don't

education shows the effects or tho
practical application Of what were for
merly only theories. Current bull

scribe the training OF rural school

1.-THE problem OF disseminating the
knowledge that is already available.
The realization OF the significance
OF rural education marks a turning
point In American history. For the
better part OF a century American
education developed one-sidedly, as a
city and town matter. Fe live in the
country was TO be isolated from the
better things OF civilization. including
education. That the population OF the
United States was predominantly
rural did not seem TO enter the ques-
ton. There was a feeling that the
country could take care OF itself; that
the little red schoolhouse" could &C
complish everything with nothing;
that there was an inexhaustible sup
ply OF country school teachers willing
TO handle an assortment of youngsters
OF varying ages and abilities, do jan'-
tor chores and perform the many
other duties OF the old-time school
master. all for a few dollars per week.
with utter disregard OF the increased
cost of living.
The awakening from this state OF
indifference toward country Life and
country education did not come until
the drift from country to city had be-
come one of the startling phenomena
OF the age. Then economists exhort-
ed boys TO stay on the farm" but
the exhortation came too late. What
boy was going TO stay on the farm
when opportunity seemed TO be every
where else? There were no adequate
educational facilities for him In the
country; nothing to guide him In his
desire to get along In the world; 30
he went to join the city throng and
help diminish the producing power OF
the fundamental class In society-the
agriculuirists. Rural education can

this process, but IL Is the first essen
