Renovating Rural Schools.

The little red schoo]house with it's
hard seats, high desks, inadequate VEN
tilation and meagre equipment must
go. In it's place there must be schools
with adjustable desks and seats, pro-
vision for adequate heating and venti-
lation, improved sanitary conditions,
and school equipment that is up-to-
date. Many rural schools of the future
will have work room adjoining the
study room where instruction may be
given in elementary carpentry, sewing,
and other activities closely related to
rural life. There must be change
also in instruction from square root and
compound proportion to practical
farm accounts from rules of grammar
to study Of insects, birds and plants
of Vermont; from the geography of
| the book to that of the school yard and
neighborhood.
| A great step toward renovating rural
| life will come when teachers under
stand their pupils, when they realize
| that their mission is not so much to
teach objects as to train and assist
| children into the full development of
their natural powers. The conserva-
| ton of rural children is more to be de-
sired than the preservation of the mys-
| ticiSm and traditions that cling about
the little red schoolhouse.
! Where the need for trained leaders
and efficient teachers is greatest there
should be the best, not poorest, teach
RS. Never before have the rural teach
ers of Vermont had so many opportu-
mites offered them by Middlebury COL
lege for equipping themselves for their
work as during the coming summer
session of the college. Instruction in
rural pedagogy, the training of chill.
dren, nature study, Vermont geog-
raphy, practical drawing, metal craft,
food study and home making, and
other subjects are provided especially
to meet the needs of this class of rural
workers. - - -
A teacher who is really alive to her
opportunities as trained rural leader
must recognize that time and effort
spent in the pursuit Of these subjects
for six weeks means not only more eff
cient teaching on her part but also a
real start toward renovating rural life
in the state.

available for public service on liberal
terms. The owners of sound mares,
with a square trotting gait, may breed
such mares free of charge provided
they give the Government an option on
the foal during the year it is three
years of age at $3.50. However, the
Government will not hold the breeder.
of a foal to his option if he wishes to

eel the option at any time by paying
the service fee. This fee will be $25
for mature stations, and less for those
under five years of age. In buying
the colts. the War Department has
agreed to purchase both mares and
geldings. No service fee will be
charged unless the owner elects to can
eel his option. If the Government buys
the colt, no fee is charged: if the colt
is offered to the Government and pur-
chase refused, no fee is charged. On
account of the provision for free serv-
ice the Government believes that the
mares bred should be suitable for the

WATCH YOUR HORSE.

The language of the horse is easily
learned. If drivers would watch care
fully the horses under their care they
could readily detect signs of uneasi-
ness or suffering. 1t is a well-known
fact that the ears of the horse express
his emotion; when they have back
ward slant it shows he is ill-treated or
thinks he is going to be. Through
the eye the horse expresses his feel
ings. When he is suffering his eye
is contracted, it has a nervous rest
When a horse is comfortable his eye
seems large and full and has a ser
enc look.
