Vitalizing Rural
School Work

A school officer in the office the
other day said, I'VE don't want the
old kind OF rural school. We want a
good, up-to-date school and we are
willing to spend the money for it..
That may be true, We don't need to
have poor schools. The rural school
can be the real life of the community
and will be some day. But that
"some day will depend on you-not
someone else-but you.
The country school is what it was
twenty-five, fifty or hundred years
ago. Little progress has been made
II has been said that should Rip Van
Wrinkle wake up in modern barn
he would realize that he had slept
$50 years, but should his waking
take place i'm the average rural school
he would turn over and finish his
rap.
Teaching in terms of the lives oi
the people is the big idea in educa
ton, the country school is the biz
problem in education. The country
school trains sixty per cent of oul
boys and girls. Over half Of our pop
ulation receive here their training fol
life. The city schools offer courses
in business law, bookkeeping. car
