THE R

Dean Kennedy says that the rural school is the
weakest link in the educational chtin. DR.. Coulter
says that the possession of the rural school is the
one thing among the Fundamental elements which
go to create 2 c11j'zation which differentiat.s the
Inited States Of America frcln Russia. Are these
statements contradictory OF or consistent with each
other?
The rural school is the agency winch has
through the past century provided the ma'ol part
OF the naliFc 1o,, population of The United States
with the rudicieilS of an ed,ca,;.1 I. Until tho 1,ast
decade more than half our population has been
rural, and that portion of the population has de-
pended on it's local schools for the beginning Of its
educational training. In many cases such training
has both begun and ended with the rural school.
That a service of immense Importance to our coun-
try, and OF incalculable influence in the shaping Of
its affairs has thus been performed is undeniab1e
and undenied. The rural school has been the sole
means whereby millions of Our people have gained
an outlook upon the world at large and an under
standing of it's affairs. That it is in itself the pro-
duct in no small measure of racial habit and ex-
preston in concrete form of racial ideals does not
alter the fact OF its existence and influence.
Granting this, we still face the fact that taking
the country over, less progress has been made in
the development of the rural school than in any
other educational fundamentally. 1t has impart-
ed information to millions of people. 1t has saved
them from illiteracy and has placed in their hands
the mechanical tools of education. To the few it
has given inspiration which has urged it's posses
sors on to the educational heights. To the many
it has given a few facts, of some utility, but no in
s~piration.
The function Of the rural school is not to pre-
pare its students for college, but to prepare them
for life. Whatever the distant future may have in
store it will be generations before more than a very
small percentage of our youth may be expected to
be graduated from the universities. College train
ing is being brought within reach of more and more
students, and we may expect that process to con-
tinue. Nevertheless, economic and geographical
considerations, as well as considerations OF indi-

In Plan; Other Speakers

HUGHES THANKS LEADERS

Washington.-In unison the spokes-
men Of Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan accepted the American pro-
posals for limitation of naval arma-
ment in spirit and principle" making
only reservations for suggesting modi-
fications of detail
Secretary Hughes thanked the rep
resentatives of the powers for their
cordial expressions and declared the
time had come to proceed with con-
agreement The question could now
be studied, Mr.. Hughes said, with the
assurance that there will come out of
this conference an appropriate agree
ment to the end that there shall be no
more offensive naval war"
Great Britaln's acceptance In prin-
cipal and spirit of the American pro-
posals for limitation Of naval arma-
ment formally was laid before the
arms conference by Arthur Balfour,
heading the British delegation.
Baron Admiral Kato's statement of
acceptance in the same sense for Ja-
pan followed.
Before hearing the statements Of
the delegations, the conference adopt
ed the committee of the whole plan
worked out by the big five.
Speaking for Italy, Senator Schan-
ger told the conference the American
plan had the general approval of his
government.
Premier BRAND, speaking for
France, declared the general adher-
ence of the French government to the
purposes of the American plan.
Proportions Acceptable.
Taking the battleships as basis"
said Mr.. Balfour, 1--WE think the pro-
portions between the various countries
are acceptable. We thing the limita-
ton of ornaments is reasonable. We
believe thoroughly 1t will be accepted"
Mr.. Balfour suggested that the sub
marine tonnage might well be reduced
and that possibly construction Of large
submarines should be prohibited.
The suggestion for changes in the
proposals, Mr.. Balfour said amid APP
plause, would not affect "the main
structure" proposed by the United
States, which he said he believed
would be accepted
When Mr.. Balfour promised the
full, loyal and complete cooperation"
of the British nation toward the gen.
eral American plan, the audience rose
and applauded for a half minute.
