Rural Education.

''The high cost of living,' is a
phrase heard on every urban ton
que. "The high cost Of educa-
tlon.' is the thought in the minds
of all rural people. Perhaps very
few of us have studied the close
relations that one of these bears
to the other, but we have all felt
that the most serious condition of
country life is the silent but
startling migration of our rural
population to towns and cities.
Our country people are moving
to towns and cities to secure for
their children high school edu-
cation, which they are unable to
get in the country. This reduces
the number of producers and in
creases the number of consumers,
and of course, raises the cost of
living for all. This phase is not
the most serious side, for in this
way hundreds of our most capa.
bic people are drained from the
country every year.
We believe that if this so-called
rural problem is ever solved it
must be done through the public
school. 1t will never be solved
80 long as most of our energetic
and ambitious members of coun-
TRY life are being forced into cities

1t is gratifying to state that the

that autos will assemble all the

there need be no fears about the

of the fact that many persons

for as many as would like to Sc
