THK THIiKK-TK.\( HI U SCHOOL. Will Take Place of Ine.'lieient OneTeacher School. (j The intelligent and progressive u farmer is asking himself today as I never before this live question: f "What can our community do to 1 make ours a better school?" And this is an important question he is 1 putting to himself. It is important in the first place j because about eight out of ten children now growing up in his commu- < nity are going to remain there and become workers and citizens; are going to become not only subjects of law but voters and makers of law; j are in all probability, going to be- r come parents and train the next generation in and for his community; are going to become farmers and home-builders, home-makers and home-keepers. In a word, eight out * of ten children who are today grow- 1 ing up in his community are going to determine, in a very large measure, his community's future worth in ma- * terial wealth and progress, in intel- 1 lectual and moral efficiency. This question is important in the c second place because about nine out j of ten children now growing up in his j community will get all the training and all the education they will ever ( receive from the school built in and j supported by his own community; ^ and while he is trying to answer nis r question it is probably occurring to i ? him time and agaii^ that his own child may be among that nine who ( will never have the opportunity of c I going higher than their community < school. I As the intelligent farmer wrestles i with this question, it is becoming { clearer to him all the time that the t little one-teacher school at his front 2 ^ gate is not now meeting, and cannot t t be made to meet, the educational r needs of his children for successful t | working and living in his rapidly 1 progressive age. He is becoming c 1 more firmlv convinced that his one- e i * .? i teacher school with its five to seven z i grades, twenty-five to thirty daily j \J classes (leaving the teacher about c eleven minutes for each class); with j its lack of high school instruction j and vocational training; with its fre- c quent change of teachers and comparatively short term, is about as { well suited to meet the educational s needs of his children as Is the little ^ old one-horse "45" turning plow s suited to meet his own needs for the , most successful farming. And just j as he has "thrown into the shade" ( hjs little old "45" for a larger and a j more serviceable plow, just so is , he throwing aside his little onek school wherever possible for t a larger and a more serviceable ^%^MJaool. Actual experience throughout the V: South is making it plain that the smallest type of school that can guarantee anything like sufficient preparation for the most successful life and work is a school having at least three competent and well trained teachers. Hie Efficient Tliree-Teacher School. This school includes the following . important points: (1) Larger school districts. The average size of the one-teacher school district in my State is about two and three-quarter miles wide by three and one-half miles long, or about nine square miles. It is plain that this is too small a unit of taxation, and too small a unit of population, to develop a school of much efficiency. This small district should be increas' ed as much as possible not to put I.., any children beyond a reasonable walking distance, of two and a half ?, By observing this two and a s half miles as the limit of walking distance, especially tor the small r children, in forming the school dis- f trict, and by locating the school s building near the centre of the dis- y trict, it is entirely practicable in var- t ious parts of nearly every county in ^ the State to increase the size of the s one-teacher school district to four t or five miles long and four or five y miles wide or to twenty or twenty- y five square miles. A school district y of 20 or 2"? square miles will in an y average rural community insure enough taxable wealth (when a rea- r sonable local tax is added to the a county and State apportionments) to r make a school fund large enough to a o foivlx.* corvi>fiQhl<i SPhnnl ; UUUUUVl a iujji; OV. ? *%- w? x (2) School site of not less than a six or eight acres, furnishing plenty r of play ground for games of all sorts t and plenty of land for a successful t demonstration school farm. ' t (3) Three rooms, with a small t room for cooking and sewing, and a i small music room, with class rooms r so arranged that they can be thrown j into an auditorium large enough to seat the community. . t (4) Three teachers, capable and j well trained with male principal, for r the entire year. i (">) Resident home for the male c principal near the school. fl Work of tlie School. p Now let us consider the better 0 work of this modern three-teacher g school as compared with the old- y fashioned, inadequate one-teacher v The (?iil :mi<1 tlie (lame.
