NEW LAW IS AID
TO RURAL SCHOOLS
PROVIDES FOR EXTENSION OF
TEACHERS TRAINING
FACILITIES.
STATE TO PAY FOR TRAINING
Measure Carries an Appropriation OF
$4,000 to Cover the Expenses of
Special Training Courses in conn.e.
ton with High Schools.

Madison.-In the opinion of the
state school superintendent the most
important educational measure en-
acted at this session Of the legislature
is the law which provides that in
counties where there are now no
country training schools for teachers,
the board in charge of any high school
whose course is equal TO that pre-
scented by the state superintendent,
may establish and maintain in con-
neetion With the high school train
ing course.
The state in such case viii pay the
expense of teacher to conduct the
training course A student in any
such high school may take an addi-
ton to the regular high school course
as additional three or four units and
be graduated at the end of the four
years, not only as high school stu
dent but as a teacher Amy student
taking the training course viii find
his or her diploma a certificate good
for five years as teacher in the rural
schools, without further examination.
An appropriation of $4,000 per
year was made to carry out the pro
visions of the bill, which means that
twenty-five high schools can at once
become training schools for teachers.
Not only will this multiply the num-
Der of teachers for rural school, but
it win greatly improve the qualifica-
ton of such teachers. Students grad
uate from high school at an average
age of about 10 years, and if they take
the training course it means that the
rural schools viii get five years OF
service from professionally trained
teachers, of a higher average age than
those who now serve those schools.
