Much needed attention Is now being
devoted to the country school, which tho
national bureau of education believes has
for the past % years been more or less
OF a failure rs an educational institutoa.
The rural school population consists ao-
p~rOxirately &C 10000 childrcn. youna
people between 6 and 20 years of age.
The importance therefore, of maintaining
n proper standard of efficiency in them
Is obvious.
The bureau Of education Is looking INTO
this matter of Improvement of the rural
schools with the result that tho we'll
trained, well-paid teacher is finding her
way into them; the ole style unsanitary
school building IS being rapidly replaced
by a model building, with space for n
library. a workroom TOR cooking. sewing
and manual training. These new school
houses are provided with shade trees.
flowers and ample Fairgrounds. With the
modern system of heating the model one
teacher country schoolhouse is said TO
be favored with a ten perature that doaq
not vary over four degrees IN different
locations in the room, IL decided improves
ment over the old conditions. The cons
solidation OF small country districts hae
also worked out favorabiy In tho alb
solute equalization OF school ADVANTAGE
The rural schools, in view of the attenr
tion they are now receiving from educa-
tors, should hereafter graduate AS we'll.
Informed pupils as any other schools Is,
