Excerpt from A Manual for the County High Schools of Alabama: Containing Rules and Regulations, Courses of Study, Adopted d104s, Treatment of the Several Subjects in the Curricula In furtherance of the spirit that has been implicit both in the conception and the preparation of this manual, it is confidently expected that the faculties of all the county high schools in the State will give themselves largely to extension work in behalf of the rural schools. A number of our county high schools have had sessions on Saturday and closed their doors on Monday in order that the teachers might visit rural schools in the county while in actual session, thereby rendering con crete assistance at the most opportune time and in the most helpful way. To those who look out on Alabama's needs with any con structive policy for betterment, community organization looms large as the most hopeful avenue of relief. The individ ual community, however, will make slow, if any, progress without intelligent direction and cooperation. Each rural school is the common property of the community and the only agency that can lay claim to the undivided love and support of its members. Rural teachers must learn from the attitude and service of county high school teachers that they have unfailing friends who know and will to help them in this work of social and community uplift. We may be sure that rural teachers can never be taught to believe it so long as those who work in county high schools display an aloofness and a narrowness which limit their activity to the walls of the schoolroom or the boundaries of the town in which the high school may be lo cated.
