The small rural school, speaking
broadly, is as much out of place in
America as fir stump In a pansy
bed. II was once an honored insti-
tuition. So was the OK cart, says the
Portland Telegram discussing the
educational situation in Oregon.
Off In some mountain pocket
where adventurous settlers have ma
rooned themselves along with their
children, the one-room rural school
ls the best educational institution
available. There are also some peo-
pie who must still wear wooden
shoes. But nobody gets far in a
day by the aid OF either OF these
makeshifts. The typical rural school
Is a makeshift.
A state gets about as far up the
scale OF education by trying to
teach eight grades in one room as a
family gets up the scale OF civlliza-
tion trying TO raise eight children in
one room. In either case II never
was we'll done; and in the very ma
ture OF things II never will be.
In Eastern states the one-room
school Is disappearing fast. They
take a group of them and make of
them one central consolidated
school. where one or at most two
grades only are taught in one room.
North Dakota with a population OF
lac, 1000 less than that OF Oregon
has more than 800 OF these consol-
idated rural schools. Indiana has
more that n thousand. Iowa has
built more than 800 OF them in the
last six years. Minnesota 10 build
Ing them at the rate OF more than
thirty annually. But Oregon does
not yet know Just what a consol-
idated rural school is.
OF course II can be said that bad
roads and mountain sleeps make the
transportation OF children to CEN
tral schools difficult; and 30 they
do. In some cases children cannot
be reached az all. But moro than
half OF tho children who are being
but half educated In our little one
room schools could be given as good
an education through the grades as
is given TO city school children by
bringing them together in groups
largo enough 70 make 10 possible 20
grade the school.
Tho American child who has boon
denied an education In graded
school has been swindled out OF his
inheritance. Every such child Is a
casualty.
Tho prime reason why one-fourth
OF all the American mon who wore
khaki In tho great war. could not
write an intelligent letter homo nor
get the meaning out OF n printed
page OF news. was because they had
wasted their school lives In the lit
tie. dull. muddled. uninspiring one
room rural schools.
