Country Life Commission Throws
Stunning Jolt Into Rural Schools

Icopied from any city model one that,
would meet the needs Of the people
Of the country and that would make
the material all about it from which
to shape its course of study.
They beagn in earnest to work and
talk and write, but most of all they
worked The result is what is popu-
larly known as the Country Life
Movement" This may mean a great
deal or nothing at all. 1t all depends
upon who is talking about it. Here
lin our country it ought really to have
a meaning because our County Board
of Education has adopted many OF
the very best ideas from the foremost
rural educators in our nation.
If ever a school manual deserved
to be extolled the present one OF I'M
perial County should be given that
honor. The Corn Lady will talk di-
rectly to our boys and girls in the
Civics class and no longer will Civics
lie something hard to study and un-
related to daily life. All the obsolete
problems have been left out of the
arithmetic classes and problems of
the home and farm put in. Best of all,
long, hard words that no child would
ever in the world need to use in writ
ire letter have been taken right
cut Of the spelling lesson.
When any member of the Imperial
County Board Of Education speaks
about the Country Life Movement"
you may be sure that it means some
thing in this county at least.

We folks who lived on farms had al

they said, we found something that
we had overlooked. They gave a
