COMf0.'t For schOO nlaanl

Alabama and Washington
are following the Texas idea
and erecting cottages tor the
teachers OF the rural schools.
The idea IS to do away with
the old and never satisfactory
plan OF boarding round a
relic OF pioneer days. In
Texas the school directors
erect these cottages near the
school house and one county
has six Of them. In one town
the citizens bought the land
and erected the house by
public subscription This
place has six acres OF land
around it. In other places
the teachers have FIVE and
six room cottages, live to-
gether on the co operative
plan and hire a woman to do
the homework. Texas has
over 100 teachers cottages
The plan gives the teachers a
chance for privacy and a
touch of home life that is lack
ing under the system in vogue
in other places. 1t is likely
that the plan will continue to
extend until there is a teachers
cottage in every school district
