HOW TO GUT BKTTKR STHOOIA. >TVE KKa.KSTlO.VS Dr. Claxton. in his excellent article printed in a recent Frogressirc Far mer on "How We May Get Efficient Rural Schools.” laid special empha sis on five fundamental require- mnts. These ar e so vitally import-* ant that vce are ftoing to summarise ^fthem here: 1. Fit the school to the needs of the people. In the main we are farming folks, and the great ma jority 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 t* work we are to do? By all means make the training of the farm boy and girl as liberal as possible, but at the same time let's always put fundamentals first. Latin roots'may be* well enough in their plare. but any rural school system that gives them preference over corn and cot ton root* is had. 2. Aim at the three- teacher school. The little one-room, onn- teacher school must go, because it cannot possibly be efficient. To get large schools, with better hntlding^, better equipped and with more and better teachers, consolidation seems the remedy. There are thousands of Southern communities that may won derfully Improve their educational facilities by combining two. three or four small, weak schools into one consolilated school with an adequate (teaching force. Tutting aside all j preconceived notions, ask yourself ■ sincerely whether this is not true of •<’your own neighborhood. We must have longer school terms. That there is u direct and striking relation between the length of the school term and the* progress and achievement of any state is well known. Here in the South, the bit ter truth is that w ( > must continue to lag just so long as we are con tent to see our children getting an average of only ao to 65 days of schooling . a year. At least slv months or 12" days should be the very minimum, and every communi ty should make It’io or 18o days ltd ideal to fiim at. 4. Better teachers, bettor paid. No school can be better than its teachers. If thes»> are poorly paid, the better teachers will very natural ly drift to the communities that are willing to pay for good work. Good teachers cost money, but money spent for them is the wisest invest- ,ment that can be made. 5. Keep good teachers perman ently. Finally, when ge get good teachers, every effort should be made to keep them. The drifting teacher, wandering from school to school Vear after year, never becomes Iden tified with rommunity life, and hat little Tfal Interest in community de velopment. Provide a home and farm for the principal, pay fair wages to all teachers, and their in terests will become Identified with those of the community. Yes. these changes will cost mon ey; they will also coat time and ef fort. But can yoar money, time and effort be better expended than in x cause that will mean happier, better, fuller lives for your own boys and gills, for the boys .and girls of your neighborhood—and Is there any st»r- er way of making your community permanently better for your having lived in it?—The Progressive Fat men RHEUMATISM IS TORTURE A* Mane a Walterboro Reader Knows Only Too Well.
