EQUAL RIGHTS AND
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

One of the hopeful signs in the ed
ucational situation is The growing
concern which persons of leadership
outside the profession, are showing
for the educational needs of the ma
ton 1t becomes increasingly evil
dent that the problem Of educating all
the people is problem for thinking
men and women regardless of occu-
patton. The following plea for equal
rights and equal opportunities is an
editorial by DR.. H. ]. Waters, which
appeared recently in the Weekly
Kansas City Star:
"No part of the Nations educa-
tional system is worthy of so much
conscious concern as is the school
where it's farmers are prepared for
their duties and responsibilities. And
no part of nations education sys-
TEN is so difficult to develop and
maintain satisfactorily as its rural
schools.
Educating one considerable part
of its children well and another part
badly is an unsafe program for any
nation, however rich and powerful.
THE principle upon which our ma.
ton was founded-tAat of equal
rights and equal opportunities to all
is being grossly violated in the
matter of the education of the country
child. Equal opportunity is not even
Appropriated when the children of
the city attend school in a cOmforta-
Bile, commodious, sanitary and we'll
lighted building; and taught by we'll
trained and carefully supervised
teachers; are accurately graded and
given every facility that modern
progress has provided, while children
Of the farm are brought together in
a poor, one-roonn school house, where
one teacher, a poorly trained, mex
perienced, underpaid girl teaches all
grades and that without modern help
and with almost no supervision. To
the inexperienced country teacher is
given the most difficult task in edu-
cation-that of teaching the entire
range of elementary subjects to small
and unclassifed groups.
Eight million farm children in the |
United States must be satisfied with !
an education costing twenty-four dol I
lars year each, while approximately !
an equal number of city children |
have spent upon their education for
ty dollars a year. The country child's |
school year is thirty-eight days short !
er than the city child's school year. !;
The country child gets only six years
of elementary schooling as compared |
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-09-22

with eight years given the city child
Country children lose by absence on
the average twenty-eight per cent of
a seven-months school year and the
children of town school lose but
tWenty-one per cent of nine
months school year.
Half of the rural teachers of the
United States have never finished a
! tour-year high school course; ten per
cent have never studied beyond the
grade they teach; and only two in a
hundred have graduated from nor
mai school or college. In only
twelve states is provision made for a
professionally prepared supervisor
for rural schools. Every town of the
United States has we'll trained su-
pervisor for it's schools. In more
than half the states county sunerin-
tendents of ducation-those in
charge OF rural schools--are chosen
on the basis of their political affilia-
tons. No other school supervisor is
so chosen.
mo wonder the country child's in
terest in school lags; no wonder the
attendance record in country schools
is low; no wonder progress in educa-
ton among country children is un-
satisfactory. The fault lies not with
country children but with country
schools.
But merely talking about the de-
ticlencies of country schools accomp.
fishes nothing. If we hope to equal
lze the educational opportunities of
the country and city child we must
take radical steps with the country
school: We must make the county
the school unit and replace the isolat-
ed, weak, one-room school with a
well supervised and we'll equipped
consolidated institution.
AS good schools in the country as
in the city is the only safe course for
any nation"

ADVERTISING

A story is told of an Irish lawyer,
who, being asked how he always
managed to get decision from a ju-
ry, replied, II make 'em understand!
First | tell 'em what I'm going to
tell EN-; then I tell 'em, and then ov-
err and over / tell 'em what | told
'em."
In the foregoing lies one of the
greatest elements for success in ad-
vertising. Don't use the intermittent
type of publicity, wherein an adver-
tiser "tells 'em what he is going to
tell EN-" and then doesn't follow up
his lead with conscientious, continu-
Gus telling. The way to advertise is
the method Of the Irish lawyer-frs
tell 'em what you are going to tell
EN-" then tell 'em," and then many
times tell 'em what you told 'em."
