SEVERELY CR|T|C|SES
THE RURAL SCHOOL
One Laggard in Educational
Procession, Says Kansas
State Superintendent.

The rural school Is the one laggard in
the educational procession" declares E,
I. Fairchild, Kansas state superintend-
ent OF public instruction. in a monograph
just published by the United States bu-
reau OF education.
This condition is due among other
things. to the fact that the emphasis OF
educational thought has been placed on
the city schools. the high schools and the
colleges, at the expense Of the rural
school. he states. Mr.. Fairchild also
finds that 1.-THE ever-increasing trend of
population toward the cities, and the
growing per cent OF tenant farmers have
had a distinct and deterrent effect upon
our country schools.
''Of the 1900. 600 rural school children.
constituting a clear majority Of the whole
number OF the youth OF school age. less
than . per cent are completing the work
OF the grades" says Mr. Fairchild THE
teaching body is immature. and lacks
proper training. Terms are short.
School buildings are poor. insanitary
and ill-eQuipped. The school enrolment
Is constantly decreasing. The supervision
is wholly inadequate. High school privi-
leges are denied the great majority of
these boys and girls. The strong, virile
rural school OF a generation ago has
gone, and in its place is a primary school,
weak in numbers and lacking in ELL
cheney. The country boy and girl of this
strenuous and complex twentieth century
are not afforded equal educational oppor-
tunitfes.
Teachers Poorly Trained.
"A vital weakness in our rural school
system is the lack Of a genuine demand
for properly trained teachers. have
knowledge of one state that bears an ex-
cellent reputation educationally where.
out Of 5000 rural school teachers in 1910.
4. 400 were found to have had no training
beyond the eighth grade.
IF we want to get more out OF the
rural schools we must put more into
them. We can never have the best rural
schools until we have aroused public in
terest in them. The national life and
character of tomorrow Is set and directed
by the schools of today.
THE country Is the nations great re-
cruiting ground. To 1t the city has al
ways looked for it's supply of men who
do the great things. who command ar
mics. build industries, take the initiative
1T is true that the cities are the CEN
tiers of organization. but they are not self
sustaining The rural population must
always be the bone and sinew of any
country. More than one-half of our
school population is trained In the rural
schools. These schools are Inadequate"

This Country Has Done Nothing.

While the United States has done moth
ing even in protest against these crimes
against its citizens, Mr.. Fall declared.
China and Germany and other coun-
tries have forced Mexico to make resti-
tltion for the damages inflicted on their
citizens. Because of this course. he
added, the people in Mexico believe the
United States is behind the Madero gov
eminent and was responsib e for the
overthrow of the DiaZ government. Not
for fifty years, he remarked. Will this
country regain it's prestige in Mexico.

partment to ascertain the extent of the
damages caused by Mexican bullets fired

gagements last year at Douglas, AriZ.,

PHOTOGRAPHERS MEET
IN ANNUAL CONVENTION
w. H. ToWIes of Washington
Delivers Address at PhiIa-
deIphia Gathering.

PHILADELPHIA, July pa decided
departure from present methods was sug-
gested in an address made yesterday by
w. H. Towles of Washington, D. c., be-
fore the Photographic Congress. at a
meeting which was really the opening of
the thirty annual national conven-
ton Of the Photographers Association of
America.
Making the congress a national body.
with power to legislate for the associa-
ton. leaving the latter to devote its
time and attention to educational and
entertainment features. was one Of the
important suggestions. 1t was pointed
out that under the present arrangement
most Of those who attend annual conven-
tons are those who live in or near the
convention city, and in consequence they
control legislation.
Mr.. Towles' suggestion was that the
congress consist of two delegates from
each state where there is a state asso-
citation, and in other states the congress
could select the representatives, so that
each state would be given equal repre-
sentation and power with the others
Another suggestion was the appoint
ment OF a salaried secretary, who would
have q suite of Offices in some city, look
after the general business of the associa-
ton and have charge of the literary work
and control Of proposed travelling ex-
hihit

For Annual Exhibit.

That exhibit would be made up OF
twenty-five or fifty frames each year and
sent from place to place, not only for
the instruction Of the photographers in
new methods of lighting. printing. ETC..
but for the education of the public as
well.
So deep an impression did Mr.. Towles'
address make that a committee was APP
pointed to consider the suggestions and
report later In the week to the general
convention. The committee consisted of
W. H. Towles of Washington. d. c.; NJ.
W. Tyree, Raleigh. N. c.; r. W. Holzin-
ger. Charlottesville. Va: Frank Dean.

were also suggested, and these We're sub
mitted to committee consisting of L. A.

son, Boston. Mass; Ryland w. Phillips.

officers in the Hotel Walton.
