Problem for Rural Community.
_SCh°°l has begun, Approximately
tvsmthirdl of thoyoung people be-
tween the ages of 5 and 20 who live
in the Open country or the small
town. and Villages Shave enrolled in
8011001. Of this host of over 11,000,-
000 boys and girls. over 3,000,000
are in oneJeacher BChOOls.
The teachers of these 175.000 one
“ache" rural schools have received
tho. fewest number of weeks pro-
fessional training of any gr ‘p of
teachers. Nearly half of them, no
doubt. aro'Teaching "With the small-
est amount or preparation permitted
by the law. Over one-fourth of
them are teaching their tirst term
of school. The majority of them are
young; three or four years younger
than town and village teachers.
Moreover. their school terms are one
or two months shorter than those
of the latter group. -
In view of those facts has tho.
state complied with its obligation in
public education? Have the rural
boys and girls an equality of oppor-
tunity in education? Are they prev
vldcd facilities for obtaining an edu-
cation which are in any respect
equal to those generally provided in
flargm- centers of population?
: The above inadequate conditions
make imperative the attention and
assistance of every local commun-
. ity to its rural school. Parents. as
lwcll as school boards and superin-
ltendents., should help the teacher
Eby seeing that the necessary books.
isupplies, and equipment are provid-
ied by the children. The teacher's
'full time should be devoted to the
j lmporthnt task of directing the chil-
,‘dren in their development. Her en-
!ergy should ire concentrated -on
I methods of securing the best possible
5 development of each individual child
Eentrusted to her care. _

Timing School in on Life.
The funny column of a. daily pa—
per- tells o! a. teacher Who asked
“'iliic to locate several cities and he
answered. "I can't locate 'em but I
know ho'w to tune in on every blam:
cd one of 'cm."
That story carries a'first rate idea
for beanhers. The schools will open
soon and millions of children will
course from the froc. playful. natural
social child life to the different at-
mcnphere and life of the school.
Teachers will try mistakenly to
change most of the child's physical
and mental habits in a. day. The
shift from hours of activity to hours
at sitting still will cause illness:

they will be forced to change to
set lessons about things that they,
do not use daily and that they prob-‘
ably feel never will be my help.
Fortunately more and more schools
are fitting themselves to make thc
child life' in them more free. easy.
and natural: the textbook is giving
wily to the library: the deadly sil-
ence. to the hum of business; and
restraint and repression. to en-
couragement and expression. The
schools are "tuning in" on life.
A GRAVE DANGER-

(Khruord Couranbl
A discussion is now going on in
the silt. papers as to whether Con-
necticut will ratify the child labor
emtndment. One paper remarks
that it has previiled in some states-
we are not informed what states
they are. ‘
It is a. most dangerous proposi—
tion. not merely against state rights
in the abstract, but it interleres irl
the woluro and prosperity of every
poor funny in the country. It puts
in the hands of Cannes-«which
will. of course. establish bureaus for
the purpose—rhetpOWCr firmiate
employment of all children up to
eighteen years of age. Should it be
carried. it would make more trouble
thdn tho-o realize who do not give
tho subject careful study.
Both parties have declared for
but that is because of a. desire to
cstch the sentimental vote that is
back of the theory of tree and un-
hampered childhood. It is all
wrong. and we sincerely trust Con-
necticut—which is very slow to ra—
tify any amendment—will steadily
turn down this one.
