Rural Schools and Prejudice

(From the Watertown, N. Y, Times
Educational reform in the rural
districts must, like charity, begin at
home. Elsewhere is printed letter
on rural education in Vermont as
written by Mrs. Dorothy Garfield
Fisher, we'll known author, who re-
sides at Arlington, VT
Mrs. Fishers investigation, and
that Of the committee of which she
is a member, confirms the opinion of
many rural education Investigators of
New York State: Reform of the
schools of this state must begin in
the school districts themselves and
not at the Capitol.
The movement must have it's real
impetus in the school districts and
not down from legislative body or
any state department of education.
There are innumerable things which
can be done to improve the country
school by the people themselves, and
when they take pride in the school
and are deeply interested in its well
fare they are in a state of mind to
receive cordially help from outside.
We are in no way pessimistic as to
the proposals of our own committee
of 81, of which so much has been said.
1t certainly is proceeding with eau
ton. The time has gone by when any
report could be made with hope of
legislative action this year and this
delay has been in direct compliance
with public sentiment which coun-
selled caution. There is no apparent
desire on the part of our committee
10 r-l1ch fhi,1nc o,oA tha,.a &c
dence that it is profiting by the les
SONS of the Machold legislation of
seven years ago. But admittedly the
committee has an inhospitable audi
ence to receive its report, for the
country school districts have not yet
been aroused to their best activity
through self-help and therefore are
not deeply enough interested to
accept Hospitality the report. This
does not apply to all districts, but to
a portion of them.
A we'll known educator of Jefferson
county who has been working effec-
lively as teacher and official for a
quarter of a century and more said
the other day that it would be bless
ing to the education of this county
if every country school could be sud-
denly wiped off the map that we
might begin all over again. He was
speaking in hyperbole, to be sure, but
what he really meant was that such
removal by cyclone, earthquake or
fire would destroy prejudices as to
the physical schoolhouse and as to the
district boundaries that have been
century and more in developing. 1t
would start everything on a new
foundation. People would not be
bound down by the traditions of their |
parents and of their own early days
spent in a particular schooIhouse
that they got along in all right"
Here is the stumbling stone in the |
way of rural school district reform. |
It is hoped that the article by Mrs. |
Fisher will have a wide reading. It is /
constructive in every phase, and is
is very obviously the work of a !
woman who is thoroughly informed /
on the subject and who knows the
prejudices which must be overcome
to bring about the results desired. !

CATHOLIC COACH
PAYS TRIBUTE To
PAUL CASHIER
Nearest Approach to George
Gipp Seen on Gridiron
So Far.
BY K K. ROCKNE.
otra Dana Football Coach.

Paul Cashier. who was injured in
the game with Butler and put out Of
play for the rest Of the season, IS one
Of the greatest half backs the game
has ever produced.
I don't believe there ever was d
better back than George Gipp. All
lovers Of football will remember the
-ensational Gipp. and how death
took him off so suddenly at the close
Of his greatest career on the grid
iron. Gipp. I am told. was selected
by every football expert In the coun-
ny that year as a back on their
Mythical All-America eleven.
Gipp could do everything that Il
football player is supposed 10 do.
He didn't have a single weakness
and what a glutton he was for pun
ishment. Every team NOtre Dame
opposed was instructed to stop Gipp.
de was q marked man in every
game. yet no one stopped him, and
he seemed to thrive on rough treat
ment. He was immune from IN
Juries.
Paul Cashier was the nearest ap-
proach to George Gipp I ever expect
10 see on the gridiron. Cashier pos
sesses all of Gipp's great ability and
nerve, but Cashier is a trifie brittle.
He is unable TO stand the pounding
that Gipp absorbed with a smile. The
heart Use there, but the body IS weaker
than the will. Cashier, like most
fast men, Is inclined to be hurt more
easily than the plodder Gipp, in
that respect, was a decided excep-
ton.
It is almost impossible to estimate
what the loss Of a player Of the Gipp-
Cashier type means TO a football
team. believe il would be con-
servative to say that the offense IS
Iessened 80 per cent.
This year I am fortunate in having
a couple OF sets of fine backs, but
the loss of any star backheld man
always makes itself forcibly felt.
