are asking themselves the question,
What good is the country school
doing the country people?" This is
a pretty serious question, because
at present it is doing the country
people practically no good at all,
other than enabling them to read,
write and figure. They work done
in the school does not fit in with
the work done in the home. The
school and home are divorced from
each other.
People were satisfied with the
"old pioneer school," because it
taught what they wanted. 1t taught
reading, writing, ciphering and the
Bible; and these We're the things
that the people wanted taught. The
boy did not have to know much
about Manual Training or Agricul-
ture; and the girl did not have to
know much about Home Science to
succeed What they did have to
know about these subjects, they
learned in the home.
Now, pioneer days have passed
away; conditions have changed; peo-
pie have progressed; but the schools
have not changed sufficiently to
meet the changing demands of the
people. The rural school of to-day
is too much like the "old pioneer
school of century ago. The coun-
try boy can no longer succeed with
out knowing something about Man
ual Training and Agriculture; and
the country girl can no longer sue
coed without knowing about Home
Science.
So, it Is the teachers business
to set to work, and arouse the in
terest of both parents and children
by teaching Manual Training, Agrt-
culture, and Home Science some
thing that will help the country
boy and the country girl in their
everyday home life.

A PROBLEM OF THE
KENTUCKY RURAL SCHOOL,

One great hindrance to the rural
schools of Kentucky is the fact that
there Is a serious lack of interest
on the part of the parents. Teach
ers are always ready to blame the
parents for this; but, too often, a
great deal of the blame lies with
the teachers. They themselves are
0ften not interested; and therefore,
they do not make the school attrac-
tive, enough to arouse the interest
of the parents.
Most parents are always interested
In their children, and want them to
get an education; but they are not
interested in the kind of instruction
the children receive inthe country
schools. The instruction is good,
but not in way that is visible to
parents. 1t is much better than
none at all; but the parents cannot
see that it enables the boy to grow
more corn TO the acre, or the girl
% be better house-keeper and
nome maker. The father measures
an education in terms of better
farming; and the mother measures
an education in terms of better
housekeeping and home-making
The subjects taught in rural schools
neither help the boy to be a better
farmer, nor the girl to be better
house-keeper and home-maker.T They
help them, but not in their every
day home life. Therefore, parents
are not interested in the rural
schools, and often do not send their
children regularly.
Then, if the teacher wants to
arouse the interest of the parents
he must teach such things as will
help the children in their home
life-such things as Manual Train
ing, Agriculture, and Home Science
People are not satisfied with the
country school, because it does not
teach what they want taught. They
