and To the seeming disparagemeut Of
the older. Even Massachusetts tine
mother of many educational reform
ers and reforms. suffers a decline IN
relative position while il is plainly
evident that she has really advanced
in efficiency and in desirable school
conditions.
During the last DECADE according
TO figures of Col. Ayres Maine shows
z steady decline. YET she has in that
time strengthened her compulsory
education laws; introduced industrial
education; provided professional su-
r,ervision Increased the percentage
Of prepared teachers and has in
creased the minimum school year
from 20 to 30 weeks, all OF which
must increase efficiency.
"rn the building program Maine
has constructed her buildings Of
lumber because she produced lumber
and such construction was about 4DTo
cheaper than brick and stone. the
rr1aterinI of the West. In many in
stances the trees were cut on the site,
sawed into lumber and wrought INTO
buildings without the expense OF
stltr,ping. This again shows up dis
paragingly in the index figures.
eft must be understood that IN the
next ten or twenty years the New
south viii forge ahead, in the amount
uf r1uuey spent for education. Of the
Wast and the West must show de-
cline in the relative positions. then II
should become New Engiand's turn
again. This does not mean that these
states cannot make the right sort Of
showing for they can by perslstenf
and constant effort and by systeulat
icaIIv undertaking tp strengthen the
elements upon which rating Is based.
"one other fact will possibly show
against us: we have a large number
Of urtvate schools and academies IN
