RURAL SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

A Sanitary survey of the rural
schools in Orange county. Virginia, was
made and the results have been sum-
married. in a bulletin issued by the
United States Bureau of Education. A
paragraph relating to school attend
ance reads as follows:
1.-THE school population OF Orange
county is recorded as 4,00S, and upon
this basis State school funds are APP
portioned to it; but the inspectors were
unable to find from the records of the
schools more than $500 enrolled. From
the face OF the returns, therefore 1t
would seem that 1909 children were
absolutely avoiding the public schools
Of this county; but worse than this, the
inspectors found only 1873 present In
the forty-nine schools visited. II edu-
cation In rural Virginia is taken with
so little seriousness by parents and
children as this state Of things seems
to Indicate. something very radical
must be done to meet the situation. II
80 per cent. Of the whites and 80 per
cent of the colored enrolment are abb
sent habitually from schools having
only six months session, the future
OF such communities must be socially
very dubious. for the percentage OF ig-
norance which a continuance OF these
conditions must bring forth will act as
clog to all progress. Perhaps the To-
cation of so many OF these school build
|ings in uninviting places and the abb
sence Of anything attractive either out
side or inside OF their walls may fur
nish the clew to much of the indiffer-
ence."
Commenting on the foregoing state
ment the Courier Journal says.
so many of the rural schoolhouses
| in Kentucky are utterly without at.
traction that 1t is not to be wondered
at that attendance is poor. Like the
buildings described in the foregoing
extract many Of the Kentucky SCHOOL,
are located in uninyiting or out-of,

roads are bad; in others there are n,
roads at all.
The forlorn little "deestrict" school

so utterly Inadequate to the needs o
