COMING INTO THEIR OWN
Changes In The Rural School

There are signs that the rural schools
the neglected factor in American educa-
ton, they are now in progress of re-
generation that is as thoroughgoing as it
is necessary.
1t is not merely that educators have
turned their attention to the problem; it
is not merely that much is currently writ
ten on the subject Zone fourth of the bull
letins published in 1912 by the United
States Bureau of Education deal directly
with rural education) it is rather that
theory has given place to practice that
the work of rural education is actually
under way.
Teachers of xeperience armed with the
essential facts of rural life, acquainted
with the needs of the communities they
serve. sincere in their faith in the coun-
try as the place to live in and build mp
citizenship, are doing for the rural dis
trictS what the pioneer teachers of form
er generations did for the city and the
town.
These rural teachers are actually ac-
com,Iishing the work that has so long
been merely talked about. Old one-room
ramsharkle schoolhouses are torn down 10
make way for attractive little buildings,
not necessarily larger than the Old, but
built ON sound principles of beauty and
utility or frequently, the place of the
discarded building has been taken by the
more imlSoing structure of the cOnsoll
dated school, symbol of educational eff
cheney.
Even the literature on rural education
shows the effects of the practical appli-
cation of what were formerly only the
ories. Current bulletins of the Bureau
of Education describe the training of ru-
raj school teachers, not as something that
might be done, but as something that has
been done and is done every day. 1t is
no longer the problem of knowing what
ought to be done, but of doing 1.-THE

problem of disseminating the knowledge
that is already available.
The realization of the significance of
rural education marks turning point in
American history. For the better part
of century American education devel'
oped onesidedly-as a city and town mat,
ter. To live in the country was to be
isolated from the better things of civil
ization-including education, that the
population of the United States was and
is predominantly rural did not seem to
enter the question. There was feeling
that the country could take care of itself !;
accomplish everything with nothing; that
there was an inexhaustible supply of
country school teachers willing TO handle
an assortment of yOunsters of varying
ages and abilities, do janitor chores and
perform the numerous other duties of the
old-time school-master all for few dol
lars per week with utter disregard of the
increased cost of living.
The awakening from this state of bliss
ful Indifference toward country life and
country education did not come until the
drift of the age. Then economists ex-
horted boys to stay on 1.-THE farm but
the eXhortation came too late. What bo :
was going to stay on the farm when op-
portunity seemed to be everywhere else
There We're no adequate elucatinOa fa-
cilitiS for him in the country; nothing
to guide him in his desire to get along
in the world so he went to ion the citv
throng and help diminish the producing
power of the fundamental class in society
the agriculturiSts.
Rural education can not imediately and
entirely reverse this process, but it is the
first essential step. Better rural schools
will not only tend to equalize the ad-
vantages of city and country in education,

est economic need of our time by increas.

Good Roads for the
Lower Counties

During the last few days a movement
has been gaining ground among the farm
erS and grangers in lower Delaware, which
if followed along the broad lines laid
down for it by the promoters will revo-
lutonize the road building methods in
the two lower counties. The promoters,
all men of good standing throughout the
state, have placed the following plan in
fairly definite shape before the agricult
uiists.
They plan to have series of meetings
in all of the towns in the tVPltR asc,'
which talks >.a aaItaphan half - ,'"h''e' a.
Exclusive ce--g good road y lines will
i pe the chief topic. In the smaller towns
one day meeting will be held, but in
the large towns of Milford, Dover, Del
mar, Georgetown, Seafora, Lewes, Har-
! rington, and others, the promoters think
! that tn eauthOrities should have a "Good
j Roads Week Prominent speakers will
be secured to talk along intelligent lines
of road building and other means taken
to enthuse the people to the fact that Del
aware must have better roads at once. The
movement has just begun, but there are
many who are predicting that by all Of
the towns holding meetings the same week
the speakers could be sent from town t.
town each day and thus the whole thins
could be started in few weeks. Ths
people would be aroused to their needs
and bill favoring good roads Legislation
would be presented to the new Legislature
at its next session. The men who arr
leading the movement are very sanguin
as to its success.

Sheriff s arm would lose none of its
vigor if he should be forced to whip
rich criminal.
1t is hardly necessary to discuss
the reasons why the whipping post
is retained in Delaware, for this
question has been threshed out ad
mfnitum: perhaps the most potent
reason is that probably so per cent
of the people Of Delaware are op-
posed to it's abolition.
What matters it if forty-seven
other states have abolished it? Del
aware does not cut it's garments to
suit the other states. and it is no
proof that one is wrong because he
wears not the prevailing fashion.
And, by the way, if it is inhuman
force criminals to live in tubercu-
losis-infested prisons, how much
more humane the whipping post,
since the physical punishment is
over in few moments, while the
victim Of tuberculosis goes to an
early grave. Perhaps all punish
ment should be abolished, and the
crime, being regarded in a higher
light than now, would cloy the ap-
petites of the wicked.

Another Point of View

Editor of the Post:
In this year of grace 1912, the
open season for the sentimental
idealist, the muck-raker and the
crank reformer, it was hardly to be
expected that poor benighted Della
ware could hope to escape their
gratuitous advice, and their at
tempts to reform the universe and
make over this sinful world to their
own liking. However, the blow has
fallen, and the perennial assault Oh
the whipping post has arrived. De-
spite it's bewhiskered venerability,
this time it is dressed out in a new
garment. We had expected homi-
lies on humanity, but, mirabhle
dctu, it has remained for this latest
warrior to discover that only work
ingmen are whipped, while the
wealthy, and presumably non
workers escape. Is it just infer
ence that they pay for. their inn
munity?

During their trip they visit ed Bisbee, Douglas, Nacozari, Globe, and Miami, and were royalty entertain ed at each place.

 One of the largest shipments of Navajo rugs, pillow tops and saddle blankets ever received in camp was put on display at the Phelps Dodge Mercantile store last week. The entire second floor occupied by the furniture department is literally cov- cred with them, making a beautiful display and a sight seldom seen.

Last Satur day evening the Longfellow Band, un- de the leadership of Prof. Thos.
