efficient and successful is evidenced by the development that has
taken place in recent years in those phases of education in which
the state department either cooperates or directs.
Harmony has prevailed between the state department and
the school people Of the state. The department has been re-
organized by securing the employment and full Co operation Of a
educational survey of Wyoming showed the rural schools of the
state among the poorest in America. Today, the requirements for
rural teachers are sufficiently high to protect our schools from
