The attention Of school boards is
called to the desirability Of employing

Where a change is TO he made, the in

lBy County Supt. r. H. Burnsl

The diploma examinations for 1921
will be held on May 5 and 8. Having
tried the experiment Of a central ex-
animation last year at the training
school building for the towns of Grant,
Flambeau and parts of some other
nearby towns, it has been decided to
extend the central examination idea.
Accordingly, about eight or ten central
examinations will be held at cOnven-
lent points this year. Notice has been
sent to the various schools informing
them to what central examination the
pupils may go. For those schools
which are situated very remote from
points at which the central eXamina-
lions are to be held, questions will be
sent as in former years.

Rural School Plan
From the Rutland Herald.

The Herald is inclined to look with som
interest and favor on the plan submitted
to the state board of education by the wo
men teacher association and adopted b,
the board.
Not because they are women, but be
cause women are largely in the majority
in the teaching service of the state anc
teachers are practical educators. The
Herald bel ewes that their plan has practi
cal features to commend it.
A great deal has been said about deter.
iorarion in the quality of rural teaching
and some of us have commended the days
when men of exceptional ability and col.
lege training were glad to teach school to
help thenlself along the road to education.
1t is question, however, whether such
men, intellectual giants as they afterward
became, would have been much better
than the trained teacher Of today when
we consider the special problems of today
in TIE rural school.
We are asking more of our schools and
our teachers, for one thing.
The. three Rs no longer suffice. We
may call the additions "frills" and "fads"
if we like, but the fact remains that very
few parents ard very few schools directors
would want the extras" discontinued, so
a girl or boy who teaches school today may
not be an intellectual giant, but they may
have to know more different things fairly
we'll than did their predecessors
Also, boarding round" while it incon-
venienced the teacher and in scme cases
caused him hardship and humiliation,
nevertheless brought him into closer touch
with his constituency and placed him at
least on an equal basis with the folks who
paid his stipend. Today, the best homes
are often closed to the teacher, who must
accept conditions elsewhere which don't
bear investigation.
Standardizing rural schools; classifying
them as to buildings, equipment, hygiene
and teachers; grading them according to
a standard of merit; employing an expert
to set the standard-all these things point
in the right direction, but the most i'm
portant is a truly sympathetic attitude to-
ward the neighborhood or district, hich,
after all, makes the school.
The closer the board and its supervisors
get to the real heart of the folks who pay
The school taxes, the nearer they will get
