FHE REASON WHY we are having
such a determined, unabating agi-
tation of the rural school question
becomes clear only when we take a
large view of it.
A recent bulletin of the Bureau of
Education presents these significant
educational facts: (I That 40 per
cent of the children of school age in
the United States are being taught
in city and town school; (22 that 60
per cent are being taught in rural
schools, so-ealled, and 36 per cent of all
children are taught in country schools
having one room and one teacher.
Our problem is found in the last
statement-that more than one-third Of
all American children are still being
educated" in the one7room, one
teacher school. This is so because of
the limitations upon this type of school
as an institution, and not because,
within its proper scope, it has failed to
justify itself. No one familiar with
American pioneer history can fail to
reverence the "district school" because
of what it has meant to our people in
the past 1t was well adapted to care
for the needs of people engaged
almost exclusively in simple, non
scientific and almost primitive agrieul-
ture-a people who came only Indirect
ly in touch with those phases of busi-
ness life which were complex or with
correspondingly intricate social or
political affairs.
1t was easy to establish, for when
ever a few families moved into some
new valley or pushed out into a new
area of the plains, they could have
their school for at least few months,
thus keeping open the priceless oppor-

There was good crowd out
surprisingly good, considering it was
Monday. A large proportion of the
crowd was from Palatka, which kept
the roofing for both sides quite
even.
Messrs. Gerig of. Ocala and Pruitt

were as follows:
Palatka

Browning, If.

Davis, 2b; Bullock, c; Dewey, 3b.
Bundy led of for Palatka with a
grounder to third; Dewey overthrow
first, Bundy going to second. Rig
gins went out on grounder to pit
cher and Bundy scored on Hawkins
hit to center. Attridge put one in
the center fielder's hand; Hunter
reached first on a grounder through
second and wheeler struck out.
