I'VE have found that often our
most serious troubles in the rural
schools begin on the play grounds
Where II Ia possible many Of the
play ground evils may be removed by
the introduction of clean athletics.
Our capable librarian, Miss Cole,
is developing a plan to place the IL
brary books in the hands Of the
country school children. A number
Of the boys and girls have never had
the opportunity of coming in con-
tact with any really good literature
outside of their text books, and not
only welcome good books, but who
are really hungry for. them.
eOur schoohouscs are being made
more comfortable and our equipment
is better each year. 1t is the duty OF
the school to discover and foster any
ability possessed by the pupil; to en-
courage Initiative. to train the in
telligence, to strengthen the viii
power and develop self-reliance
Such is our ideal for the Colfax
county schools
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1914-11-23

are some OF the virtues for which
the school il largely responsible. 4.
The school directors are, in the
main well qualified for their work
and are responsive to every reason
able suggestion from the county su-
pefintendent.
1T is only when the directors and
county superintendent plan the work
carefully and definitely that the best
results are accomplished.
I'VE feel we are bound by solemn
obligations to give to the children
the things which they ought to have,
even though in doing this we find 1T
necessary to change conditions which
have brought good results in the
past.
There is now keen incentive
toward securing modern sanitation.
Our teachers are giving greater at
tention TO the teaching of hygiene,
both personal and general, each day.
Aesthetic culture is coming 10 the
rural school. It is creating a desire
for good school grounds. where trees
and flowers may be cultivated.
