Consolidated schooln are found in ?very state; In a few states the movement for consolida tion ha? spread extensively. It is in the one-teacher school that tho Kreatest problem in rural education is centered. In the consolidated school all the facilities which make a school efficient are easily possi ble. In the one teacher school they are possible only under excep tional conditions." It Is tho one teacher syotem with which you have to deal, doubtless, but you should have your neighbor hood conferences to see if it Is not possible to consolidate some of these scattered schools into one cen tral organization. Investigation seems to show that, as a rule, wherever the greatest, advance has been made in rural schools, improved buildingH and equipments have followed improved teaching. It seems, therefore, that the question of the teacher is ot the greatest importance, and with it the question of supervision and the or ganization and administration of the school system, because no wide spread improvement in teaching is possible unless proper supervision- is provided and the school affairs are properly managed. Begin, then, by getting the best teacher you can employ. Do not give the place to some incompetont person "who needs the money," but get a good teacher because! the chil dren need her, and the community needs her influence. That is difficult, for the city schools with better salaries are grad ually drawing the best teachers to the city. Then do what you can to make country life attractive to good teach ers. It has many natural advan tages, and those should bo increas ed by arouning a broader interest throughout the community in School Improvement. The belief is growing that the | teachers for rural work should have ' an education and training different 1 in some respects from the town or j city teacher. The rural teacher needs the same Course in education (psychology, pedagogy, etc.) arid the same general professional cou'fse in methods of teaching. However, in place of part of tjie work now usual ly given in languages, history, liter ature and mathematics, he needs ad ditional courses in science, particu larly in their applications, including nature study, elementary agriculture domestic economy sanitation, rural sociology and agricultural econo mics. The country school needs vi talizing, and its teaching needs to be definitely connected with the things in the life of tho child.' This cannot bo done unless the teacher has information concerning the con ditions under whch the child liven and the occupation by which' his parents obtain their livelihood. The school should bocome a centre of stronger community interest; and I serve not only the younger people, but the older ones as well. The teacher cannot mold it Into the de sirable community educational centr unless he knows tho economic, social ! and intellectual conditions of the j persons whom it is to Jierve. It is i not necessary , that he be an expert | farmer, house keeper, doctor*' or nurse, but he should be well e i nough Informed on th<)se a subjects [ to teach their elements In tho school j and also to direct Intelligently com j munity activities centered in the \ schools for bettor farming and house t keeping, and for better health con I dltlons on the farm and in the home> i To do this, he should have an under [standing of the fundamental prob lems of country life, and should al so know tho inter-relations of the ; religious, educational, industrial and | social activities of the people and :the economic considerations essen ! tial to success in agircultural life. ; A beginning in these subjects may j be made by the study of rural so I eiolog}* and economics in the traln ; ing course of the teacher. School life in the country ought to be made most interesting. The influence of the school has not been properly exercised. Boys should be taught how to do things with their hands; how to make fences that I will not fall down; how to make J model barns or hen houses; how an why to spray fruit trees; how to ; drain the land. Girls should be taught how to use the sewing ma chine; how to cook; how to can fruit and vegetables; how to care for (ho gui <hii , how to improve the dairy. Ail these things cau bo taught in connection with roading, writing, arithmetic, with writiug and with botany, and a fow principles of book keeping.

V ? i '*46 of Former KarMww Cotuiijr M?i> Htlll KmiiiUm The following from theW aycross Jourual will l>e read with interest in thl* county. Dr. McNaughtoal was born and ratted in this county auil formerly lived near Bethune: "What does the postponement of the trial of Mrs. Mattle Flanders, charged with complicity in the al leged murder of herhusband throe yeurs ago |BM&f "Dr. W. J. McNaughton, who In under , sentence of deutli hh the principal in the crime, bus been held for mouthn awaiting 4tho trial to Mm. Flandera, it i? claimed by Dr. McNaughton and hie attorneys that ! Ii i ? I rial of Mra. Flanders will bring out evidence that will clear him and thereby cheat the gallown of a victim. "Just how much foundation there Is for a claim like this in not known by -the public. The attorney for Dr. McNaughton will not make public any facta that they claim will be brought out in the trial of Mre. Flanders, and the two defendants charged with the murder of Flan ders, acting under the Instructions of their attorneys no doubt, like wise refuse to divulge anything that might give light to the court, and the Governor of the state In regard to the evidence that will be produced in the trial of Mrs. Flan ders that will help Dr. McNaugh ton. "To the average eltlsen of the state It would seem that there has I been more politics than Justice hi the prosecution of the defendants In this case. We do not mean by this that the trial court has failed to give Justice in the matter be cause we believe the opposite. We ft do believe, however, that the at torneys in the case have been able to so manipulate matters as to de feat justice. "t/r. McNaughton is either guilty or innocent, and while it would seem that his able lawyers should have succeded In getting before the Jury that tried Dr. McNaughton every plocc of evidence in his favor, yet was impossiblefor this to have been done, and -there is reason to believe that the trial of Mrs. Flanders will bring out thlB favorable evidence, | then the trial of Mrs. Flanders should be hastened In order that Justice be done Dr. McNaughton. After a fair and Impartial trial he was found guilty by twelve men and the sentence of the court shot^ld be carried out without delay. Several times Governor Brown has postpon ed the execution of Dr. McNaugh ton. Governor Brown says that ' he should not be executed \intil -Mrs. Flanders is tried, and although it has been nearly three years since the crime charged was- committed, Mrs. Flanders still remains untried. "According to the dispatches from Swainsboro the case against Mrs. Flanders was continued last Friday because two witnesses fail ed to appear. The dispatched stat ed that one of these was a doctor who was attending, the state medi cal society in Savannah, and the other was a man living at Quitman, reported to have been sick. Al though both of these witnessed were in the stateof Georgia and could have been had, yet the court con tinued the case with a cost of near ly $1,000 to the county in getting men for a Jury.-^;---^.^",' j Tells How Editors Get Rich.
