the same school, Mr.. Cox had a pecu-
liar and intimate knowledge OF the
shortcomings and inadequacy of the
system. He realized that the little
district school with its narrow cur
riculum and crude methods OF in
struction did not meet the needs and
purposes of industrial and social life
in Ohio. He wanted a programme
which would give Ohio a co-ordinated
system of State, country and district
supervision, require normal or col
lege training OF all teachers, and,
above all, lead to speedier centraliza-
ton and consolidation of the one
room district schools.

School Survey Ordered


In his first message to the General
Assembly in January, 1913, Governor
Cox recommended that a complete
survey of the school system be made
A survey commission was created 10y
The legislature, communities were
prompted TO discuss their own school
defects and needs, and delegates were
appointed to attend a statewide ed
ucational congress in December, 1903.
In January, 1914. the Governor called
a special session of the Legislature TO
enact the rural school code.
The survey report confirmed all that
the Governor had known of the short
comings of the system. 1t was dis
closed that not half of the teachers
of the state ever had attended high
school, or received normal training,
ing. that rural schools were mere
stepping stones for young teachers be-
fore obtaining positions in village ana
city schools. that agriculture was
scarcely taught, schools were with
out equipment and three-fourths OF
the buildings were old and insani-
tary. and their lighting, heating and
ventilation insufficient.
The new code changed all this. 1t
created county supervision districts
under the control of county boards,
elected by the presidents of village
and township boards; provided for
county superintendent and supervis-
ors over smaller districts within the
county: required academic and pro-
fessional training OF all new teachers
henceforth, and gave communities
wider powers to centralize and con-
solidate schools.
The results are already apparent.
At present So per cent. of the teach
ers in elementary grades have had
professional training, and high school
teachers are required to be college
graduates or have equivalent attain
ments. Standard methods of presen-
tation are being practiced in an eff
fort TO give each child opportunity
for development of his possibilities
and the most common faults of class
room instruction have been eliminat-
ed to a great extent.
