RURAL STUDENTS BEAT
TOWN BOYS AND GIRI

| In recent issue of the School
Board Journal is an article bearing on
the relative high school standings of
| boys and girls from the country schools,
as over against the standings of boys
and girls who had their early training
IN the city grades. There is no very
striking difference in the standings,
| but such differences as there are, are
favorable to the country boy and girl,
except that their average age is about
a month and half higher than for the
city group.
The most striking difference is that
the city boy and girl on the average
| require APP years to complete the
course, whereas the country boy and
girl on the average complete the
course in 1868 years. The number of
students compared is not la"ge-some-
| thing over two hundred in each group
and it may be that this showing is
not entirely representative. 1t does,
| however, agree with other studies that
! have been made at other times. The
study Just referred to was partly in
Wisconsin and partly in Michigan. 1t
may be added that in a few counties in
Wisconsin the high school inspectors
find complaint that the county super
intondent is too lax in graduation re-
quirements for country pupils.
| If the country pupil in the btgh
school does Out-rank the city pupil on
! the average, and there seems TO be a
good deal OF evidence that he does,
the burden of explanation is on the
city schools. The difference, if any
exists, is scarcely wCrth mentioning,
except for the fact that we have in
| Wisconsin a small group Of city men
who seem to be abnormally interested
in what they cal the deplorable con
dition Of the country schools. That
they know nothing about the actual
conditions, except from hearsay is
true enough and their ignorance Of
the laws Of the state in relation TO ed
ucaiion is evident to anyone who lis.
tens TO them.
Nevertheless, this persistent reiter-
alton, if treated 10y school men with
the silence it deserves, is apt TO do the
state Of Wisconsin rank injustice
Word reaches the state department
from time to time that some public
speaker within the state or outside the
state quotes these irresponsible state
ments of irresponsible men to the dis.
advantage Of Wisconsin.
In striking contrast with this period.
c vail was the statement few weeks
ago by United States government Of.
fetal, whose business it is TO study
country schools TO the effect that no
state In the Union had made more adj
: vancement ia her country schools in
the pas. few years than has Wisconsin.
In subsequent statement he made il
even stronger, and said that no state
had done as much AS had Wisconsin for
the Improvement OF her country schools
in the past ten years.
