accommodations" 1t was said
that, because of short terms, usu-
ally six or seven months Of the year,
small pay and poor accommodations
good teachers are hard to get for
the country schools. Also, there
are the attractions of the library
and many others to lure teachers to
the cities.
DR.. Charles A. Wagner stated
that the State Board of Education
has the matter Of regulating rural
schools in hand and it is making
an effort to bring about favorable
conditions. In fact, he said, the
board about two years ago inaugu-
rated a system which has been
gradually working to the desired
end.
The number of textbooks avail
able for each study has been limit
ed, he said, and in the front of
each book has been placed a notice
to the effect that the system of text
books must not be changed within
the next five years.
"This has been gradually max
ing better conditions, but the
change is necessarily very slow. I
am glad that you are showing such
an interest in the matter, but you
must be patient and cooperate
with us for results ~
Mr.. Wilkinson introduced Miss
Robinson, dean Of the Women s
College, who said in part: eve
find that the greatest difficulty
Newark post., 1915-01-06

encountered is that of the range of
preparedness among girls entering
our school, due to lack of uniform
ity in preparation. We realize that
girls must be prepared as teachers
and take up the duties of teaching
in rural schools, and wish that we
could induce more of them to take
up the work. There are many
things presenting an unpleasant
affrOnt to them. The pay of rural
teachers is poor, and | would sug-
gest, perhaps, a graded increase in
the salaries of these teachers. With
better pay and better conditions,
the prospect of rural teaching will
become more inviting to girls. We
shall be very glad to do anything
for the better training of students
to be teachers, and would be glad
to learn of conditions in each part
of the State from where our girls
may come" " DR.. Wagner empha-
sized the need of securing informa-
ton and criticism from each local
ity.

NEEDS Of THE
RURAL SCHOOL
Question Considered AT New
Castle Pomona

An interesting meeting of the
educational committee Of the Po-
mona Grange of New Castle coun-
ty Patrons Of Husbandry, was
held yesterday afternoon in the
Delaware State Fair office, Fifth
and Shipley streets. Besides the
members of the committee there
were present DR.. Charles A. Wag-
ner, State Commissioner of Educa-
ton; Miss Winifred Robinson,
dean Of the WOmen's s College at
Newark; Prof. Harry Hayward,
dean Of the agricultural depart
ment of Delaware College; Prof.
Elmer Cross, superintendent of free
public schools in New Castle coun-
ty; State Master NJ. H. Mccoy and
Miss T. Y. Weldin. The majority
of these persons spoke during the
meeting. DR.. Samuel Chiles Mitch
ell, president Of Delaware College,
had been invited, but a note stat
ing that he was away on education
work and would not return until
Monday was received from his sec
retary.
Horace Dilworth, educational
secretary Of Pomona Grange, pre-
sided at the meeting. He told the
purpose Of the meeting, of consid-
ering the need of changes in rural
school management and the need
of action in this direction by the
Legislature. Practically all of
those present took an active part in
the discussion, although nothing
more definite was decided upon
than that a special meeting should
be called later to further consider
these subjects, and that the chair
should have the power to call the
meeting. 1t is believed that reso-
lutions will be presented at the
next meeting outlining the matters
on which the committee advocates
Legislative action, and that the
Legislative committee Of Pomona
Grange will be conferred with.
The discussion was principally
on the lack of uniformity and sys-
tenn among the county schools. 1t
was pointed out that pupils from
country schools, receiving less indi-
vidual attention from teachers and
about two months less Of schooling
than the city scholars, were placed
at a disadvantage upon entering
high schools and colleges. Accord
ing to Hervey Walker, of Pomona
Grange, who spoke at the meeting,
pomona Grange has for 20 years
been endeavoring to secure uniform
and efficient management of rural
schools; to have them each use the
same textbooks, to provide for bet
ter pay for teachers and also better
