MRS. c. M. WRIGHT REPORTS
FLORIDA EDUCATIONAL SITUATION

There is perhaps no question so
nuth in the minds of the public
spirited citizens OF Lakeland as the
matter of edncation. The recently
formed Polk County Federation of
I Women S Clubs has an education COM
+. mi'tee. of which Mrs. George NJ.
Wright of this city, has been chosen
chairman. AT the meeting of the Polk
4 County Federation at Pierce this
week. Mrs Wright presented a report
containing many valuable statistics
and suggestions. and we take pleas
iurc in reproducing this report.
The one principle which must de-
tcrnine the policy of the education
committee of tn" Polk County Fedora
ton OF Women's Clubs. is coordination
Of activities with state and county
authorities.
II is also Il part OF the work of this
committee TO keep the women of our
organization informed as to what has
been don" in our state and county
schools and also to bring before the
4 members the needs of our schools a.
seen by those who are responsible
for them
With these facts in view. your chair
man has conferred with the county
superintendent of schools and asked
how our organization could best serve
/ the cauS" of education-giving assur-
ance that our women stand as Il unit
/ for such measures as may make Polk
the banner county of the state and
/ place Florida among the leading states
of the educational world.
AS IA foreword to our women. let me
impress upon YOU the Importance of
aCquainting yourselves personally
with laws and conditions which gov
ern and effect the moulding of child
life into maturity.
With the ballot comes work and re-
Sponsibility strange to most of us =.
And, while our problems may often
seem too difficult, let us not lose faith
but go on from strength to strength. 3"
The following figures taken from
the latest biennial report of the state
superintendent, Hon w. n. Sheats
may be of interest to you. Our state
school population Cwhitc) in 1900, was

years OF 92792. The coored popula-

| in our power to see that our schools
shall not suffer by reducing needed
appropriations; to become acquainted
with needs and conditions, so that we
may, when called on, vote and act
intelligently regarding the eXpendi-
ture of funds judiciOusly, to assist in
keeping boys and girls out of indus
try during the compulsory education
period; to make our high school
courses more attractive in the several
branches of vocational education now
made possible by the passage of the
SmithHughes bill; to constantly urge
our young people to fit themselves as
adequately as possible for the most
efficient and valuable service in their
power to render.
1t is the purpose of this report, to
bring to you different phases Of edu-
cational conditions, and we refer now
to our rural school in which 40 per
cent of the children of the county are
enrolled. While there has been
marked Improvement each year
throughout the rural districts, there
still remains vast amount of work
to be accomplished before the children
Of the rural communities receive the
benefits they are entitled to. The
same question comes to us, why
should children have better advan-
tages in towns than in rural dis
tricts?" With our 1913 miles Of hard,
surfaced roads. there is no reason why
we should not have the very best of
consolidated schools and teachers
where communities desire such. The
chief essentials are longer school
terms, efficient and trained teachers,
better buildings and equipment. Your
chairman wishes you to consider the
suggestion of Il law governing age
limit of teachers, which would relieve
many rural schools from being "af-
flicted' with school keepers seeking
experience and practice. at the per-
Sonal expense of the girls and boys.
a further recommendation is the pro
vision by this department of a cir
culatng library for our rural schools.

zines which might meet the desires
Of communities interested.
one more topic very worthy of men
ton is that Of home making" or vo-
cational home economies. Let us
heartily encourage this important
course of training which enables
those assuming home responsibilities
to more easily serve as true American
home builders and citizens.
