RURAL SCHOOL NEEDS.

There Is great need for thorough
reconstruction of the programs OF the
rural schools, writes DR.. Charles w.
Eliot in a letter to THE Banker
Farmer" of Champaign. Ill. The IN
struction which they now provide in
reading, writing and arithmetic
should not be diminished In amount
but altered in nature.
The greater part Of the direct In
struction should relate to natural his
tory agriculture, and farm life: and
the books used for teaching. reading
and spelling should be on these sub
jects, with additional primers on geog-
raphy, American history and civics.
The arithmetic should be confined
to the simplest examples in addition.
subtraction, multiplication and divi-
sion, decimals being made familiar al
most from the start; for he well
taught child will learn about tenths
and hundredths as quickly as about
tens and hundreds.
All the child's reading and all the
teachers oral instruction should be IL
Illustrated with concrete examples; and
every child should be trained to see.
hear and touch accurately. and to re-
member what it thus learns by obser-
walton. An important part of the
school program should be devoted to
the training Of the senses, and to this
kind of training of the memory. No
matter what system be employed In
teaching reading, every child should
learn the alphabet by heart; and
whenever a change Is made In the sys-
tenn of teaching the children to write
such changes have been too frequent
of late-the change should apply only
to beginners. and not to the children
who have already practiced long the
rejected system.
In the last two years OF the rural
schools course every child should
learn the elements of agriculture and
gardening. and should have a garden
plot to cultivate. Prizes should be Of
fered for the best plots of vegetables
small fruits and flowers. Every boy
should be given practice in the use OF
carpenters tools; and every girl should
be taught to sew. cook and can fruits
and vegetables. Reading aloud and
singing should be a substantial part OF
every rural schools program. The
practice in English composition should
mainly consist of writing descriptions
of what the child itself sees. hears OF
touches.
| These improvements in rura
schools cannot be made without
spending more money than towns and
counties have been in the habit of ap'
propriating; but no town or county ex-
penditure will be so profitable to the
community as the expenditure which
makes these changes possible.
| In order to put these Improvement.
into execution on a large scale. al
normal schools will have to prepay
their graduates to give instruction II

Some normal schools are doing tina
now, but by no means all.

poned. 1t has been tentatively fixed
tor Thursday. 1t was decided by n
council of the chiefs Of the Constitu.
tionalists that IT would be advisable
Tor General Carranza to wait until all
the Federals, or at least a majority
OF them had been disarmed and dis.
banded.
The declaration OF the Federal
troops at Guadalupe that they would
not abide by the peace terms proved
to have no backing. All the Constl.
tutionalist troops in the capital, how.
ever, were held under arms prepared
for any emergency.
Gen. Francisco Villa has returned
to the city of Chihuahua, but it is said
that he and his chiefs will come to
the capital later.
1t was reported that Pascual Or
ozco. the once rebel leader who went
over to the Federals. has slipped
through the Constitutional lines with
three companions and was being pur
sued north of San Luis Potosi
Three more Constitutionalist sol
diers were executed in the outskirts
Constant reports are being received
from the United States by General
Carranza that recognition will follow
close on his entry and that prepare
tions already are being made to with
draw the American troops from Vera
Cruz.
Already reconstruction plans are
under way, and It is expected that
through freight and passenger traffic
will be resumed over the National rail
way lines by way Of Laredo and Ell
Paso within fortnight.
