Prof J B Carl vie savs that the
" y I J
hope of the State is not in the cities
and big towns, but that the hope of
the greatest future is dawning in j
the rural districts. Of course, there} j
can be no doubt as to the truth of
this statement, far by far the great- J
er number of the children of ourl?
1 f
State are being educated in the
country. Furthermore, statistics | ^
show that where the people of rural i
districts have been aroused to a real-1
izatiou of the importance of univer- j
sal progress along educational lines; j v
where they have been brought tojs
see the necessity for placing in their J
schools better facilities for health, ^
on/1 flHndotinn trvcrollipr
VU1IUU1 l> UUV4 VUUVUllVllj VV^W?4V? ^
with objects of beauty, the results ^
have been almost marvelous. (
Now, the question is, through
what agency has this state of affairs j
been brought about in these districts? j
Certainly, there can be no doubt (
th at much of it has been accomplish* {
ed through "The Rural Improve- j
ment Associations." And, now,
the subject which I wish to bring
iK-'fore you is the needs for such an
organization in all rural districts.
As is implied above, perhaps our j *
greatest ueed is a deeply rooted public
seutiment for better school houses,
better equipment for them and n
'more beautiful grounds. In fact, a
mauy of our rural districts need to d
learn that the really beautiful is the b
really useful. ^
o
Iu the successful organization, j
where at least all of the parents are w
members, one of the greatest, or perhaps
the greatest, difficulty of the n
rural teacher is overcome; for no
sooner tbau the parents realize that u
are united for the common bet- tl
tennent and upbuildiug of the educational
cause, is it that the teacher ^
can feel sure of their interest and ^
co-operation in the great work that n
she has undertaken for them. Even b
if this were the only result that (1
could be bad from such an organiza- *
tiou, the rural teacher would feel j,
amply rewarded;but this,so to speak, [
is only the "Open Sesame" to what c
misrht follow. J1
I u
Of course, the teacher niuat take i
the lead in this work and must uec-lc
essarily feel the enthusiasm which j ?
should be expressed,else there would |kbe
little ho{>e to inspire such a feel-! (
ing in others.
Let us look for a moment at tiie
condition of affairs in the average
rural school. The school house is 1J
usually uncomfortably small, not M
fnmieU with straight back 1 '
wircuj iuiuiuwv. 0
uncomfortable beuches and even
these are often so high that the lit- 1
tie folks have to sit for hours with-!
out ever having their feet touch the |
floor. In fact, everything connected
with such a school is not only
i
uncomfortable but absolutely unat- 1
tractive. Now, how can there be 1
any hope for better things educa- [
tionally as long as such conditions 11
exist?
It may at first seem quite an undertaking
to attempt to put a com-:'
fortable and attractive school building
in place of the old one, but,with
the co-operation of all concerned, it
is wonderfully easy to give various
kinds of entertainments by which ,;
sufficient funds can be raised. There' ]
need be no fear that these entertain- J
nients will not prove a success, for ^
(
theie are few things that appeal to ,
a really interested body of patrons [

nore strongly than the improvement
)f their school.
After the school house has been
)btained there are a great many
things that are, in one sense, of
niuor importance, yet, in reality,
ilmost necessary. Among these
nay le named comfortable desks,
;ood black-boards and a school
ibrary. In procuring a school li)rarv
the teacher aud pupils are es>eoially
encouraged; for if they can
aise ten dollars, the county and
>tate will come to their assistance
ind each appropriate a like amount,
nakiug a total of thirty dollars with
rhich a good selection of books
i)ay be obtained.
Perhaps it is useless to name the
arious minor improvements needed,
;uch as placing pictures on the walls,
ixing up a reading room, fencing
;heyard, "etc; but it can easily be
leen how much these improvements
vould add to the comfort andattrac:ion
of rural schools. 'l
It is evidently true tlia
for ''Rural Improvement
;ions" are many and great, anil
:he time be not far distant wi;
here will be such an organizatu
