This plan necessitated a night ses-
sion. in addition to the two meetings

The difficulty in securing boarding
accommodations in the country not
only has hampered the normal func-
tioning OF hundreds of out-of-theway
rural schools, but in many instances
has compelled the closing Of these in
stitutions The modern teacher, after
having given years to preparation in
sl.armal schools and colleges, is not in
clined to accept a post in the out-of-
the-way communities in the country.
due primarily to the primitive accom-
modations provided in nearly all in
stances.
To remedy this evil a movement
satrted some years ago in some of the
Northwestern states now has spread
TO the whole country. and there is to-
day a natidl-wide interest in the mat
ter of state and county cooperation
in building suitable homes in cOnjunc,

ever this plan has been put into eff
feet it has had a telling effect.
While every subject on the program
had its own interest TO: those pres
ent, the outstanding features were the
