MOVABLE SCHOOLS
ATTRACT INTEREST
COMMERCIAL, BUSINESS AND
FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS BE-
HIND EXTENSION MOVEMENT

The report of the University of Ida
no extension division on the movable
agricultural schools conducted last
winter in various parts of the state
by the university in cooperation with
commercial, business and farmers
organizations shows that widespread
public interest was taken in the SER
les of schools This report has been
submitted to President A. H. Upham
by Dean e. J. Iddings of the college
of agriculture.
The winter program extended into
80 counties and it is estimated that
1889 individuals were reached in the
68 schools, numbering 256 sessions.
The attendance total for all the ses-
sions is given as 32,737.
Oneida Leads Attendance
Attendance was heaviest i'll Oneida
county, with Madison coming close
second. Canyon placed third, with
Bonneville fourth.
In addition to the speakers from
the extension division, all of whom
are well known throughout the agri
cultural sections of the state, and
faculty members of the university col
lege of agriculture and experiment
station, many local speakers were
used in the various programs. Rep
resentatives of the Union Pacific rail-
road, the secretary of the farm bur
eau and other representative speak
ers were given places on the pro-
gram. The report states that in ad
dition to the list of specialists and
speakers from the university college
Of agriculture 102 speakers were used
from the districts in which the schools
were held.
Demand for Repetition
among the most prominent signs
of success of the movable schools"
said Director L. w. Fluharty, of the
extension division, 'is the insistent
demand from the business interests
and farmers organizations through
out the sections reached, that the Tro
gram be repeated in the fall of 1922
or the spring of 1928. In addition to
the counties reached by the movable
schools this year others have asked
for places on the program this fall
and winter
"The attitude is very favorable and
reports from leaders in farm organi-
zation movements and business in
terests compliment the schools very
highly and indicate there is a strong
desire to have them repeated"
President Upham Pleased
President Upham was likewise
gratified with the results obtained.
He said:
"The report of the results of the
movable schools indicates the effect
iveness with which representatives of
the university acted upon the decis-
ion last November to get before as
many as possible of the representa-
tive agricultural interests to help
them meet the crisis in industry in a
sane and constructive way and deter
them from being led away in useless
pursuit of panaceas.
sT feel that these schools have done
more than any other activity of re-
cent years to give rural communities
an understanding of the work at the
university and to get them solidly
back of its program
Dean Tddings declared that the
movable schools would hn repeated
next year if the funds could be found
to meet the expense

COUNTY SCHOOLS
CHIEF IS HAPPY
OVER PROSPECTS
Superintendent C0e Plans
to Establish Intelligence
Tests i'm Schools

II. c. Coe, county superintendent Of
tionaI outlook of the valley for the
schools, is enthusiastic over the
coming year. Everything is ready for
the opening of the schools in towns
and rural districts Monday. The boards
of education have secured what they
believe is a strong corps of teachers;
not quite so many changes have been
made and there are certain conditions
which point to more successful year
for the schools than has ever been
experienced in the county.
Mr.. Coe has some ideas which he
expects to work out. He is interested
in the question of intelligence tests
that attract the thought and attention
of educators, and also believes that
| conditions in the rural districts demand
| that Americanization be stressed more
| than it has been.
Many of the larger neighbors have
built new, modern buildings during the
| last few years, with facilities for com
| munity meetings which will serve to
aid in the Americanization program.
| The superintendent thinks that the
| County Teachers Association is to play
a big part in educational affairs this
year. 1t is well organized and meet
| ing is planned for October which he
| believes can be made to be most help
! full to the schools. This meeting will
J be held in FL Centre and it is Mr..
Coe s idea that it shall deal with ques-
tions altogether practical and subjects
of such wide interest that many patrons
! of the public schools will make it a
point to be there. Prof. Daniel F..
Choisser, Calexico, is president of the
association and is supported by "a good
corps of officers and committees.
The teacher s institute will not be
held until some time around the holi-
| days. Mr.. Coe expects to join with
other counties in his plans and so secure
high class instructors and lecturers for
/ the week.
A meeting of school superintendent
has been called by Win c. Wood, state
school superintendent, for November
10. Mr.. Coe expects to attend this meet
ing and. to receive inspiration from il
| that can be carried into his work as
head of the Imperial Valley schools.
! The county has approximately so dis
tricts including towns and countrr
schools. The high school, all of them
/ formed as union districts, make ii
possible for the children Of the county
in almost every section to have tie adj
