Annapolis. - Declaring the rural
school the foundation of the republic
and the question of better provisions
for Maryland's rural schools as the
greatest problem before Maryland
teachers today, Governor Goldsbor-

rising vote Of thanks and a loud cheer.

what he considered the duty of the
State toward the children Governor
Goldsborough read from the address
of DR.. Huxley on the occasion of the
dedication of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, in 1876, to show what real educa-
ton.
1T is my judgment that in the cities
and towns of the State, the schools
are very well managed. But how
about the sadly neglected rural
schools in many OF our counties? This
is the supreme question of the hour,
as | take it. After all the country
district school is the foundation of the
republic, and when we fail to respond
to the call of better equipped teache rs
and more modern school hcGses in the
rural communities we fail in a great

The cry that the children in the
country districts are entitled to just
as competent instructors and just as
well lighted and heated buildings as
are the children Of the cities and
towns is a righteous cry, and this de
mand must be met il we would heed
the call Of progress and justice.
