wage laws have been made to apply to
men as well as women and children IN

parents afford 20 condemn our
teachers because OF their ineffi-
cheney and lack Of student interests
You cannot expect every teacher to
do his best work, unless he Is duly
compensated. There seems TO be in
humanity, an instinct which creates
a desire for compensation for labor
rendered. Therefore, we cannot ex-
pect a teacher TO do that which we
rebel against ourselves.
Another great drawback to our
rural schools is the corruption OF
politics, which is q common dill
Guilty in every movement. Even our
trustees are sometimes, either weak
minded, corrupt, or have not the
ability TO select capable teachers,
and consequently inefficient teach
ers are chosen TO be the leaders OF
our children.
We must realize that we are liv-
ing in an age of social needs and
one of the greatest social needs OF
the century is the organization and
consequent upbuilding Of the rural
life of America. This must be the
outgrowth Of the self activity of ru-
raj forces. outside forces can only
assist in this work.
There is a need OF raising the gen
eral level Of living in the country,
in order to keep the brightest and
best people from leaving the coun-
try in too great numbers for the
cities, probably to become impure;
and encourage the perpetuation OF
the better half Of our human race.
To educate the young in the
schools, TO elevate their ideals, to
arouse their ambitions to higher
and nobler things in life without q
considerable change in the present
rural conditions, I fear will be an
absolute failure.
have been praising the schools,
but let us understand that the
school is only one Of these agencies
for community upbuilding. There
must be cooperation among the ru-
raj life forces, all working together
for a common end.
God created in man mind, clear
conscience, the ability to think and
do, and left it with man for self de-
velopment, and since the community
is the proper unit for rural devel-
opment il must learn how TO organ
