NEW RURAL SCHOOL LAW.
New York Puts Its Rural Schools on
Same Plane as High Schools.

New York Puts Its Rural Schools on
Same Plane as High Schools.
The last legislature of the state Of
New York passed a rural school bill
which has received the governors sig
nature and which will place rural
school districts on a par In several i'm
portant particulars with city schools
The general provisions of the law are
to the effect that the commissioner Of
education may lay out districts Of his
own motion suitable for central high
schools anywhere in the state at any
time, and in these schools there shall
be taught the studies usually pursued
in village or city high schools as well
as agriculture. These new school dis
tricts are to be laid out independently
Of the boundaries of existing school
districts, towns or counties, and after
a district has been laid out only those
residing within the boundaries Of the
said district shall be permitted to vote
on the proposition of establishing such
q central high school. Fifteen taxpay-
ers may call for a meeting at which
a vote shall be taken as to whether
such a school shall be established or
not II the vote be favorable the
school shall be established, and the
school district shall have all the privi-
leges of union school district 1t will
receive from the state the same mon
eys that the territory included in 1t
| ID TOD 4 Il,
tricts and also the allowance made for
high school instruction and for instruc
ton in agriculture where such schools
are maintained and instruction given.
This rural high school law Is one OF
the most valuable acts of the state
legislature for many years. 1t gives
the country boy and girl educational
advantages at home equal to any they
may have in the city, with the addition
al advantage of receiving instruction
In the things with which they should
be most familiar and with which SO
large a majority of them will have to
do in the future These schools will
also greatly tend to improve social con-
ditions and will furnish social centers
|
and tend to build up a home pride in
their home communities and in rural
affairs.
These schools will be directly and
solely under the control of the farmers
of the district through a board of ed
ucation chosen by themselves. They
can make them what they will, anC
that they will make them such as t.
serve the interests of the farm an(
the locality wherein they are located
goes without saying. The general fea
lures Of the plan of these schools have
been approved by the commissioner o.
education at Washington. Ohio, w
believe has similar schools, and Min
nesota, Massachusetts and Rhode Is
land are engaged in a movement look
ing to the establishment OF these rura
high schools. Let the work progress.

Although nonresident, Mrs, Lane
has always shown vital interest in all
matters pertaining to the chapter,
manifesting it not only in words but by
generous giving. The gift was accepted
for the chapter by Miss Griswold, after
which vote of thanks was rendered
Mrs. Lane for the book, and also for a
sum of money given by her to Cont
mental hall, for M. B. A. chapter. A
pleasing program interspersed with
music was rendered and a substantial
luncheon presided over by a capable
committee was served.

COMMUNITY SERVICE.
Excellent Example of the Federated
Committee of Wixom, Mich.

If cooperation within an Organiza
ton is good, cooperation among or
CARNATIONS working to the same ends
is better. We are coming to believe
that individuals can better their condi-
ton financially by combining their eff
forts and working together, unifying
their interests. We must also come to
believe that societies, associations OF
individuals, clubs, oranges and the
like, whose purposes are one, can at
tain the ends sought better by fedora
ton of those organizations than to I'M
dertake any given work separately.
Still is it true, with relation to socie-
ties as we'll as III respect to individ-
uals, "in union there is strength"
A notable instance of this federation
of interests is found in Oakland coun-
ty, Michigan, in what is known as the
federated committee of Wixom, a
town in that county. In this fedora
ton are the grange, the church, the
Farmers club and the school. The
purpose Of the federation is to foster
and encourage the community spirit,
which, it is believed, can be best done
by the cooperation of these various
bodies. 1t is said to have already had
a wonderful effect in getting these or
ganizaions to spend their energies
along common lines, whereas all before
were trying In different ways to ac-
complish the public good.
What are some of the things donei
Last winter a lecture course brought
to Wixom entertainment and enlight-
eminent which 1t would not have been
possible to enjoy If undertaken by
any one of the organizations alone
Arrangements are being made for a
federation fair to be held in October
the premium lists for which are even
now being circulated. This federation
committee is also planning to establish
n completely equipped playground near
the school building for the children
In short. whatever is to be done fol
the community interests will be done
by this federated committee. 1t vii
do much more this year than last, fol
1t has been organized but a short time
WiXom is setting fine example OF
community spirit and endeavor for ev
cry rural town. That example should
be followed.-J. w. barrow.

One of the most notable series of eX-
ercises in connection with the closing of
the schools was that in connection with
the Austine institution for the deaf and
blind at Brattleboro, VIII IN prizes were
awarded for progress made during the
past year. To listen to blind young
people rendering difficult classical selec-
tons on the violin and to see others
also blind manipulating type writer
with almost as much skill as person
with sight could do must have been un-
uaual demonstrations of what world
of good such an institution is capable of
doing for people who are thus handi-
capped in life. The Austine institution
fills an important place in the state of
