Organizing Country Communities.

nothing If he is not lnslStent arc
intensely practical. He is al
present advocating the country
school to become the permanent
institution" for the upbuildine
Of country life. He says:
The country school must be-
come the permanent institution
for the organization and upbuild-
ing of country life. 1t must
broaden its scope so as to incluGe
every individual in the commun;-
ty. 1t must vitalize its content
by teaching the things essential
to a more prosperous and salts
factory life in the country.
For such service to be done eff
fectively, certain conditions are
necessary: o. A building cor
structed with a view to its broad
er field, cohtaini1g auditorium,
rooms for industrial processes,
equipment for teaching practical
agriculture and hosehold science
(2) extensive grounds; 60 home
fer the principal; (4) at least
two teachers employee Tor TIE
year; 90 the principal, qualified
to lead in agriculture extension
work; (6) an assistant, qualified
to lead in women's extension
work; ca another assistant, ex-
pert in teaching tools of learning.
The State Department of Educa-
ton, the State University with
all its many extension depart
ments. the other State educa-
tional Institutions, the State
Board of Health, and all other
agencies having as their aim the
betterment of country life, will
find in such a schooba local re-
preventative for carrying out
their purposes. In fact, the
school will focus and direct, in
the community, the work of out
side agencies.
Organization, cooperative eff
fort, is the method of accom-
plishing things to-day. Where
the interests are common, isolat-
ed individual effort, even with
all hands working, is the method
of yesterday. Organization re-
duces friction, avoids duplication
of effort, make gaps unlikely,
produces the maximum of results
with a minimum of effort.
The great need of country life
today is this organization, COOP
erative effort. In the past the
farmer has acted as an individ-
ual while all other groups of
workers have been organizing;
the result is shown in farming
as an improbable, undesirable
occupation, static, apparently
deteriorating. The only way to
catch up is by unified effort.
What is true of farming as an
occupation is also true of the ru-
raj school; it stands where it did |
a century ago in its aims and
Its scope must be
broadened and its work vitalized. |
Certain fundamental changes in
its organization are necessary for
it to accomplish much of value
for its constituents.
The urgent need of country
life and of the country school can
be met at the same time by plac-
ing the responsibility for the or
ganization of country life on the
school. The responsibility be-
longs there, it is the only perma-
nent institution of the country.
