PLAN OF RURAL SCHOOLS
UNDER DANISH SYSTEM
Observations Made by Party Under
the Auspices of q. s. Blu
reau Of Education.

Folk high schools that really reach
the people who support them. special
agricultural schools for small landhold-
ers, eleven-day courses for grown-ups
who wish to keep in touch with new
things in their particular line of work
these are some of the features of the
Danish system Of rural education noted
by Harold W. Foght Of the United States
bureau Of education, according to reports
Just received by the bureau. Mr.. Fosht.
accompanied by ". H. Smith of Missis-
sippi and L. L. Friend OF West Virginia.
is now in Denmark investigating the re-
markable rural development in that coun-
try.
The American educators have been par
ticularly impressed with the eleven-day
courses for adults provided by the Dam
ish schools. New courses open on the
first and third Tuesdays of every month
throughout the twelve months of the
year. Husbands and wives frequently at
tend these courses together The schools
Tor small holders thusmandsskoler) appeal
TO q more restricted class; they offer
good six months course in horticulture
and other subjects for the sons and
daughters OF people having the smallest
farms.
Typical "Folk' Schools.
Mr.. Foght and his colleagues have al
ready visited typical folk high schools at
Lyngby, Ruskilde, Vallekilde, Frediks-
borg and Haslev; agricultural schools at
Lyngby. Tune, Ringsted and Haslev, and
number Of one, two and three teacher
schools in the open country. Everywhere
they report government and local author
tiles keenly interested in their visit and
anxious to extend every help and cour-
tesy.
Before the Americans start for home
they expect to examine rural and high
schools in all parts OF Denmark, with a
view to ascertaining the influence of these
schools on Danish country life, and. the
possible lessons that may be learned
from them for the rural problem in the
United States.
Investigations by Bureau.
Mr.. Foghts first-hand study of Den
mark is part OF comprehensive investi-
cation of rural schools which the bureau
OF education is making. Three other
field. specialists are at work: J. C. Muer-
man, formerly of the Philippine service,
who is now studying the rural school
problem in the northwest. with headquar-
tiers at Salem, Ore; J. D. Eggleston, for
merly state superintendent. Of schools in
Virginia, who Is contributing to the prob
lem from the point Of view of the south,
and A. c. Monahan of Massachusetts,,
who gives special attention to the north
Ciaxton hopes In this way to bring to-
gether body Of fundamental facts about
rural education that will aid immensely
in the task of betterment.
