international Educators.

Philadelphia will entertain the meet

Philadelphia will entertain the meet
ing of the international congress of home
education during the last week of Sep
TENDER. Delegates are coming to this
congress from many of the countries of
Europe. among them France, Germany,
Holland and Belgium. DR.. Martin Grove
Brumbaugh, who organized the American
school system of Porto Rico, and who
is now the superintendent of schools in
Philadelphia, has been abroad for several
months studying educational problems in
Europe and enlisting the interest Of the
educators of that continent in the inter
national congress.
During his trip to Europe DR.. Brum-
baugh has found many things to praise.
many things he thinks might be utilized
to great advantage in the schools of the
United States. He points out that the
average Belgium farmer makes ten acres
of ground yield as much as the average
Pennsylvania farmer can coax out of a
hundred acres. The Belgians have in
tensive farming. and that demands in
tensive education. each person interest
ed in education aiming to do one thing
thoroughly well, and all of them aiming
to make the child go in the same direc-
ton.
While the international congress is
thoroughly alive to the needs of public
education it feels that higher type
of home training is also needed, and by
training it hopes the child will reach ma
turity with healthy body, developed
mind. and SO trained that he or she will
never be content until the most has been
made of every opportunity presenting it
self.

Vocational Schools children. AT the
Pay in Belgium. r. re- axn Information,
Client the Belgians amazed the other
countries participating by the showing its
children were able to make. The train
ing given them is such that the minute
they come out Of school they are ready
to take their place as wealth producers
One child may be taught especially the
art Of dairying, another the art of grain
growing. but each one is sure to be given
some special training in line where he
can become useful and a wealth producer
at once. And to this is attributed the
remarkable progress that Belgium has
been making. The best authorities of
Europe are brought to Belgium to tell
the children how to do things, and each
time one Of them comes there is an ex-
position held showing what the trained
child may accomplish in the line with
which the speaker deals
The movement in Belgium is spreading
rapidly in the other countries OF western
Europe. and it finds a counterpart in the
movement for the redirection Of rural
education in the United States Perhaps
100000 children of school age live on
the farms of the United States. While
great progress has been made in the past
twenty years I'm city education, it is only
recently that educators have awakened
to the fact that the farm child has been
neglected in the development OF educa-
tional facilities. In spite of the fact that
the most of his education had to be OBJ
tanned in little old one room country
schoolhouse. where one teacher taught
all the grades, with thirty or forty
pupils. and with twenty or twenty-five
classes during the day, the country boy
still became a wealth producer and a
farm going, and enough of his kind found
their way to the city to supply an in
fusion of fresh blood into the veins of
city life.
When educators began to weigh things
and to take stock of educational results
they found that the
Schools in Country money spent by the
Long Neglected t u.a'e OF on the the ed rra,
child was yielding greater economic re-
turns than that spent upon the city
child. and they decided that the coun-
try child ought to have at least as good
educational advantages as the city child.
So came the movement for making over
the rural school. a movement that Is just
now getting under full swing. One of
the great factors in this movement is
the attitude of the United States bureau
of education under its present commits
sioner. p. p. Claxton. He says that rural
education has long been neglected, and
that he will measure his success as an
educator by the assistance he can render
the movement to give the farm boy as
good a school and as good a teacher as
the child Of the city has. In the hope
of bringing this ideal to realization he
has headed national movement in that
direction. He has written to every state
and county superintendent of schools.

Mile Of MiIitants ii
In Funeral Corteqe

LONDON, June IA solid mile OF
srffragettes will form the funeral pro-
cession on Saturday for Miss Emily
wilding Dawson, the Northumberland
militant, who sacrificed her life in a
mad attempt TO break up the Derby at
EPSON Downs last week.
The Women's Social and Political
Union today completed arrangements
for the funeral, which they say will be
the biggest and most spectacular Eng
land ever saw, not even excepting the
imposing obsequies Of King Edward VII
in 1910.
The demonstration will be country
wide by reason of the fact that mill
tants from every county will march into
London to join the parade. Clad in
purple and white, with mourning bands
on sleeves, the women will march four
abreast through the streets.
The funeral will pass through Picca-
Gflly because Scotland Yard forbade the
;lilitants TO pass the parliament build
ings. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst has
said that she will participate in the
funeral and demonstration IL she is
able to leave the nursing home, where
she has been since her last release from
Holloway jail. and the police do not re-
arrest her.
