leges far superior to those Of the farm
boy and farm girl. In funds, in length
of term, in equipment, in buildings, in
admins tration and supervision, in
courses of study, in efficiency of the
teaching force, and in salaries, the
superiority of the city schools is so
far above that of the rural schools as
to make the situation in many Sec
lions Of the country deplorable. 1t
has been so desperate in many in
stances during the past Is years, when
tunities of the city school, that it is
given more times than any other
reason by fathers and mothers for
moving from the farm to the city.
For, as Secretary Lane declares, an
ambitious people will go where edu-
cation can be had for their children.
There is no sense in talking of the
charms of country life and the indie
pendence and dignity of producing
from the soil, if the school at CON-
mand is no more modern than a wood
en- ploW'
wherefore, let every agency Of
state and nation be organized and put
in motion for the purpose of giving
the rural schools square DEAL"

"There's never anything new in

advantages alone, or the people

them.
There are just as many brains in
