CLAIMS CITY SCHOOLS
HAVE ADVANTAGES
As School Term Averages Longer and
Attendance Is More
Regular.

New York, Aug, 5.-Disadvantages
of the country school child in compari-
son with the city trained child are
pointed out by Professor Mabel Car
ney of Columbia university, following
series of conferences with country
school superintendent from all over
the nation.
Almost half the school children of
the United States, that is 100000, at
tend one and two teacher rural schools
in buildings of the box-car type" Prof.
Carney said. MANY of these buildings
are neglected beyond description.
Their school term averages 1877
days a year as against 1877 days a year
for city children. The average daily at
tendance for city school children is so
per cent, while for country children it
is IS per cent.
"All this is greatly complicated by
the question of child labor on the
farm. 1t is estimated that 100000 of
country children are engaged in farm
labor to their detriment and kept out
OF school. For this reason illiteracy is
twice as great in rural as in urban
territory.
THE country boy or girl is getting
only about one-half the teaching abil.
ity, less than half the supervision and
not quite half the efficient administra-
tion of school affairs that is every
where accorded the. more fortunate
city child.
THAT country children prosper as
well as they do is due more largely to
he wholesome influence of the average
country home than to any advantage |
gained In the one teacher school. The |
,ne teacher school is an archaic insti-
.ution and should be abandoned and |
replaced by consolidation as quickly |
rs possible.
The wisest and most direct solu- |
ion of our national country life prob.
EN- is to be attained through proper
attention to the rural schools of the |
,ountry."
