In other words the state superintendent tells us that the school district Is In the hands of the people, a pure democracy, and therefore the people uinmseives are responsible for the prog ress of the schools. "Them Is need of work along rural school lines, effective work. The rural schools have been decreasing In at tendance, also In population, until three sevenths of the schools of the state were operating last year with from one to twelve children. Many of the district could not afford a school of proper length undor a properly prepared teacher. The co-operative plan was advised. The bringing together of two or more weak districts, having a district of such sise as the people of the community deemed most advisable. This would enable the people to get 100 cents worth out of every dollar spent In the Interests of the school. Results Are' Visible. "The state superintendent's office co operating with the rural people of the state, became a great promotion bureau promoting the general welfare of the schools of ti e state.

These schools are now found in both the eastern and western portions of the state and are a success. But perhaps the most startling fact Is the large number of rural high schools. The state ' superintendent's department will be able In a short time to give tha exact number, but It 1 estimated that fully 800 districts have felt the force of the program and that in the neighbor hood of 2,00) rural students are now pursuing high school subjects who could not have found it possible a year ago. "The state superintendent hag as a part of his program for next year the arrange ment of a course of study adapted to the rural conditions and divided into terms In such a manner that new classes may be formed at the opportune time and reviews carried such as the larger boys and girls of the country districts may wish to pursue."
