How To Get
BetterSchools

Dr. ClaXton, in his excellent
article printed in a recent Pro.
gressive Farmer on GLOW We
may Get Efficient Rural
Schools" laid special emphasis
on five fundamental require
men.s. These are so vitality
important that we are going TO
summarize them here.
!. Fit the school to the needs
of the people. In the main we
are farming folks, and the great
majority of us will remain SO.
Why, then, should not our rural
school system aim first of all TO
I'll us for the lives we are to
lead and the work we are To do;
BY all means make the training
of the farm boy and girl as lib
eral ns possible, but at the samc
time let's always put fuuda-
mental first. Latin roots may
be we'll enough III their place,
but any rural school system
that gives them preference over
corn and cotton roots is bad.
.. Aim at the three-teacher
school. The little onc.room,
one teacher school must go, be-
cousc it cannot possibly be eff
ficient. To get large schools,
with better buildings, better
equipped and with more and
better teachers, consolidation,
seems the remedy. There are
thousands of Southern com
munities that may wonderfully
improve their educational Ia
cilitics by combining two, three
or four small, weak schools into
one consolidated school with
an adequate teaching fierce.
Putting aside all preconceived
notions, ask yourself sincerely
whether this is not true of youc
own neighborhood.
3. We must have longer
school terms. That there is a
direct and striking relation be.

term and the progress and
achievement of any state IL

the bitter truth is that we must

we are content TO see our chill,

from his nostrils and stood only few yards away
