0NE-1TEACHER RURAL
SCHOOL OFFERS BEST
TRAINING, ASSERTED
fRv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 1.-The one
teacher rural school offers the very
finest field for teacher training in serv-
ice, j. s. Hoffman, superintendent of
Hunterdon county New Jersey
schools, told this afternoons session
of the department of rural education
meeting here.
I'm the one-teacher rural school," he
said, there is less rigidity and more
opportunity for fiexibility in organiza-
ton than can be found in the eXacting
machinery of closely graded system.
The average rural community is either
Indifferent to progress in educational
training or passively satisfied with in
herited conditions, and the good school
keeper is as highly appreciated as the
good school teacher.
Know Result Method
Wise administrators and supervis-
ors know that the ultimate result of
their ideals and plans must reach the
child through the teacher who is in
intimate and constant contact with
him"
Taking for his subject "The County
Unit for High School Consolidation"
A. f. Harman, county superintendent
OF education, Montgomery, Ala, said
that consolidation in his county would
have been impossible except for "a
magnificent system OF public high
ways" Good roads are essential there
he said, because the population in the
rural areas is distributed over wide
area. Mr.. Harmon attributes the sue
cess of rural school consolidation in
Montgomery county TO the establish
ment of the county unit of control
which gives wide authority to county
board of education.
Other speakers on today's program
include w. H. Ray, Upton, Ia: A. x

tary schools, Louisiana.
