THE RURAL SCHOOL
SUFFERS

m N top of the defeat of the
W normal school measure
at the recent election
comes a statement from the
bureau of education at Wash
ington showing the great need
of better trained rural teach
erS.
The paper is by J. L, Nc
Brien school extension agent
for the United States bureau of
education and the writer poinys
out some startling facts,
At least One-third of the ru-
raj teachers for the country at
large have no professional
training. The average scholar
ship of this class of unframed
teachers is little more than an
eighth grade education. There
are 212,000 one-teacher rural
schools in the United States. 1t
is conservative, therefore, to
say that there are 10000 ru-
raj teachers in this country
with only an elementary edu-
cation and no professional
training. There is one state in
the Union that has over 1900
teachers, with only a seventh
grade education and no pro-
fesSional training, in charge of
its rural schools this year.
There aSe several states that
number their rural teachers in
this class by the thousand and
there are many states that
count their rural teachers in
this class by the hundred.
Another third of the rural
teachers of the United States
have only limited amount OF
professional training and on
an average their scholarship is
not above the tenth grade, that
is, two-year high school edu-
cation beyond the eighth
grade. There are at least TO-.
900 teachers in this class.
A majority of the remaining
One-third of the rural teachers

of the stories have been told
countless times in literature,
the drama, and now the motion
picture. 1t is the way the plot
is dressed by author and direc-
tor which makes its freshness
its human appeal, and it's final
success. It IS this new note of
sincerity evident in the select
ed films which makes them
approach more nearly to the
ideal Of what a better film

FILM MAKING PROGRESS

ton picture theatres thai
every step toward the improve
Iment of the film stage is a
boon to humanity. The move
that is on here to secure family
films is one of real interest and
ut deserves success. Too much
should not be expected how
ever at first, for it must be
borne in mind that a theatre
manager cannot get his pic
lures out of the air. He is lin
tied to what the film making
houses have to offer.
The hopeful thing is that ad-
vancement is constantly being
made by the film manufactur-

ment of the Woman's Home
Companion says in the Decem-
ber issue:
There has been a distinctly
new tone to the feature films
produced in the last few
months, a perceptible effort
to make the stories more like
glimpses of life as it is lived by
flesh and blood people, not by
puppets in the hands of a di-
rector who has never been a
student of humanity. The time
has passed when a successful
picture can be made up of GER
tain conventional motion pic
ture ingredients hastily thrown
together a leering villain, a
curly-haired doll heroine, a
handsome lover, a struggle in
a locked room, a sensational
rescue, and a close embrace.
ut is not the newness Of the
plot which makes a good story.
There are few new plots. Most
