THURSDAY, AUGUST 10TH, 1916. If the Georgia legislature passes that iniquitous bill, which some of its advocites admit is primarily aimed at the Catholics, it will set the Empire State back several score years.

"How We Hay Gef"Efficient Rural Schools,” laid special gemphasia on five fundamental requirements. These are so vitally important that we are going to summarise them here. 1. Fit the school to the needs of the people. In the main we are farm ing folks, and the great majority of us will remain so. Why, then, should not our rural school system aim first of all to fit us for the lives we are to lead and the work we are to d6 ? By all means make the training tff the farm boy and girl as liberal as pos sible, but at the same time let’s al ways put fundamentals first. Latin roots may be well enough in their place, but any rural school system that gives them preference over corn and cotton roots is bad. 2. Aim at the three-teacher school. The little one-room, one-teacher school must go, because it cannot possibly be efficient. To get large schools, with better buildings, better equipped and with more and better teachers, consol idation seems the remedy. There are thousands of Southern communities that may wonderfully improve their educational facilities by combining two, three or four small, weak schools into one consolidated school with an adequate teaching force. Putting aside all preconceived notions, aak yourself sincerely whether this is not true of your own neighborhood. 8. We must have longer school terms. That there is a direct and striking relation between the length of the school term and the progress and achievement of any state ia well known. Here in the South, the bitter truth is that we must continue to Ug just so long as we are content to see our children getting an average of only 50 to 66 daya of schooling a year. At least six months or 120 daya should be the very minimum, and every com munity should make 160 or 180 days its ideal to aim at 4. Batter teachers, better paid. No school can be batter than ita teach ers. If these are poorly paid, the bet ter teachers srill vary naturally drift to the communities that are willing to pay far feed work. Good teachers coat money, but money spent for them is the wisest investment that can be eeeeeeeee'ejaeeeo a * SPECIAL * On# cent n i * charge, 25 cents. Three * tiona for the price of two.
