What is of greatest benefit to the
teacher is the method of presenting
different subjects in new way and
the new ideas in equipment; all she
receives during the school term and
the feeling that at any time any diff
ficulty arises the supervisor is ready
with valuable suggestions.
The school should be looked up
on as the social and civic center,
where all subjects pretaining1to the
welfare of community should be
discussed. The teacher should be
capable of assisting and directing
any enterprise undertaken. Enter
tainments should be given by the
children, not only as a source OF
pleasure for the community. but for
the valuable training it gives the
child. By the help of parent, teach
err. association and similar organi-
cations, a lyceum course could be
secured. Bring from the outside
some of the best speakers, readers
and musicians which would from
time add greatly to the interest OF
the community meetings We
We should recognize the rights of
these children to receive the best in
every line as we'll as those in the
towns.
Realizing that better buildings
and higher salaries will call for
more money, there must be will
ingness on the part Of the people to
vote more money for these things.
Get them to realize that the extra
money spent will be repaid many
times in the good accomplished, not
only with the school children but
with the community at large.
The result of all these other fac
tors will be increased school attend
I ance. A child must be made to feel
that he is getting just the things he
will need in the future. II this is
true he will be interested and come
to school regularly. One OF the
things that gives the greatest salts
faction to teacher is to have the
proper time and equipment to teach

these things improperly. A course
in manual training should be offer
ed to the boys. Many, who dislike
school now, could be made to take
a great interest if their hands as
well as their heads be put to work.
These subjects are not only extreme
ly interesting but as important as
the other subjects taught in the
school, altho more recently intro
dueed.
Agriculture should be taught by
going oul to the fields and orchards
and making demonstrations and let
the children learn to do by doing,
how to save the fruit trees from
blight, about the rotation of crops,
the proper care of flowers and all
the other things which will make
their life in the country pleasant
and profitable.
Last but by no means the least
important, the subjects OF music
and expression should be taught
The work should be we'll balanced,
the things which teach culture and
refinement should rank along with
those which haye always been felt
to be necessary.
In order to complete the course
laid down for a years work the
terms should he longer, than they
usually are. Nine months at least is
the time required to accomplish the
work mapped out.
In the rural schools there should
be a uniform system of grading,
promotion and courses of study ST
that children going from one to the
other would not be hindered in their
progress This is accomplished by
the supervisor who is of invaluable
aid not only in regulating these
things, but in testing the pupils
and creating rivalry between the
schools for scholarship and by
keeping in touch with all the schools
and seeing wherein one excels and
reporting this excellency the Others
will benefit and in this way the
standard for all will be raised
