as one of the r RSOAI why the country

in r rGpOrt TObtnHt6d l fore the na
lional council of education at Chicago.
The conditions surrounding the tra
ditional "little red school house" were
described as so deplorable that the
council considered a plan to have the
national association employ an expert
to invettigate and report on rural dis
trigs.
E. T. Fairchild. state superintendent
of public instruction, Topeka, Kan.,
and James Y. Joyner of Raleigh, N. C.
declared tbat "the country child is the
neglected child and the country school
house a neglected school honse." They
said the importance of rural edtira
Hon was shown in the fact that of the
26,fDA.OOO siMool children In the t'nlt

schciolb, yet less than one-thlid of the
rural purJta-were ahle to meet their
gradtje.
"There niiit a be revival of interest
in .the cotmtry school if the education
of tlie country is to progress, " said
Wt. .Toyner. "We must cease center
irg :ill our attention on the city
school. There must be aroused in thf
BcYfbol house in the desert, on the
mountain or on the farm a love of rurai
lift and not n hatred of it. Neglect
our .rural Schools and they will be de
acrterf: m.iko them attractive and
comfortable and education will flour

"The teaching of scientific farming
and fruit growing, with special refer
epce to local conditions, were recom
mended as an Incentive to renewed
interest? in rural education.
A. .T Matthews, president of thf
ftate normal school. Temple, Arz
said he believed Arizona had solved
the rural rchool problem by a law
which s'kiws anv rural school with
eight rvWtff rr more to draw on tk
