Thoy must be made attractive

From this pamphlet we gather
other information relative to rural
schools which is given herewith,! in
the hope that it will increase the
interest of every home we enter,
in an attempt to secure better! school

"Sir: In the Foderal census of
1910, 68.5 per cent of the population
of the United States, from six to
twenty years of age, both inclusive,
are claasod as rural, which meaus
that nearly 3-5 of our total school
population live in the opon country
or in villages and small towns.under1
rural conditions. The total rural
population of this class the time the
census was taken was 16,230,406.
By the end of the current school

building*. 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.
Thin Ih not ail that is to bo said
about country schools, but tho time
lutH come for a short recess.

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.
It was an editor In Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., solemnly reciting the unlim
ited chances for accumulating
wealth accorded him as a member
of the fourth estate, who wdrte as
follows:
"A fellow out West wants us to run
a lot of advertising for him for noth>
ing, and if it brings results he may
become a subscriber.
"A gun firm wants us to run $19
worth of advertising and then send
it $10 in exchange for a shotgun.
Such a guii would retail at about
$6.
"For running $17 worth of locals
we can get a $1 magazine* telling us
how to do dressmaking at home.
"By running $50 worth of adver
tising and sending $25 to an Atlan
tic City firm we will be given a
deed -to a lot. When the tide Is in
the lot stands six feet under water.
"A real estate firm will give, us
a deed to a lot 22x60 feet for $40.
Wo wrote a fellow who knew of the
lots offered; ho replied that they
had no cash value, but a trading
value of about $5.
"We can have almost any New
York dally paper sent us free.
The subscription rate Is only $4-,
but all wo have to d& Is to run $86
worth of locals. - "n
"For $40 worth of advertising an
$25 cash we can own a bicycle.
The wheels sell at Just $12.
"About a dozen firms are anxious
to give us shares In gold mines for
adverilslng.
"A nursery firm will sendus a
25-cent rosebush for only five -dol
lars worth of advertising.
"For running a1 six-Inch advertise
ment for one year we get a gross
of pills." ? The Auxiliary.
