Ia response to this call a number Of
educators met in the county court
room Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock Rev. A. ~ Hall. pastor Of
the First Baptist church of this city.
was the first speaker He stated that
he was very much interested in the
rural school problem and that his
heart always went back to the coun-
try because he himself was coun-
try boy. lie said somehow there was
an affinity between the pillow han
dies and great men and that every
preacher in his brotherhood of any
prominence With the exception Of
Two or three were reared in the
country. He said that one hundred
years ago fully 40 per cent of the
United States lived in the country
and 1S per cent lived in the cities
He stated that at the present time
this per cent had been reversed. II
is his opinion that people will con-
tinue to move from the country to
the city SO long as the city Is more
attractive than the country.
Due TO this condition of things he
thinks that people should favor this
proposed tax amendment SO that the
rural schools may be made places
that are attractive. thus keeping the
children in the country instead Of
permitting them to move to town.
The next speaker was Rev. Car
gill. presbyterian minister OF Italy.

OF great help in the upbuildlng Of
school. They can be present at all
public assemblies and lend their in
fluence at all times for the securing
OF more taxes for rural schools.
The third speaker was Rev. Bin
yon, Presbyterian minister at Red
Oak. who believes that school should
be the place for real character build
ing. The minister can do a great
work in the neighborhood by help
ing to serve the young man and
young womanhood.
Or Hornbeak cane next on the
program He thinks that the minis
Ter and teacher can help the boy and
the girl by inspiring them and eaus-
ing them TO get good education.
He said il took only one man at
time 10 be president OF Inc United
States and that~this was the~duty of
the teacher to try to inspire every
country boy that he can for the man
that We need for president may be
found IN the rural district. He call
ed attention TO the fact that the
Chamber of Commerce had done
many helpful things for the children
of this country. They have sent out
a young woman demonstration. to
teach the girls how to can various
foods The Chamber of Commerce
will bring Or. Winship. editor of the
