Excerpt from Consolidation of Rural Schools It is this fact that makes such a bulletin valuable to the can did, earnest investigator. -if the bulletin is entirely successful it will leave him thinking. Serving the debater also serves the man who wishes to know both sides before making up his mind. Of course the editors cannot make a side strong which is inherently weak., They Can only give such arguments as are used in the actual discussion of the question. They cannot sift the arguments, however absurdly unsound they may be; and quoting arguments does not mean that the editors endorse them. Thanks are especiall'y due to Principal Ernest F.

Excerpt from The Improvement of Rural Schools The rural schools are about to receive from educators the attention that they deserve. The modern industrial city, with its peculiar patho logical conditions, has commanded both public and professional interest, but the rural com munity and the rural school have been neglected. Indeed, in many respects, rural life and rural institutions have lost ground. Relatively speak ing, they are not so efficient as they once were.

Excerpt from Rural Education and the Consolidated School Much has been written of late concerning the Rural School Problem. All students of country life seem to agree that a radical readjustment of the entire rural educational and social system, to fit modern conditions, is imperative; but while a few of the leaders have hewn close to the vital spot, none so far have gone straight to the heart of the subject. The author is convinced that the time has come when we must insist upon a full program of reconstruction from the ground up, and begin to build at once. The gist of the problem is to establish a new school in which the essentials of a modern education can be taught. The old school, as still found in over ninety per cent of the rural districts, does not lend itself to such a program; and no amount of repair, addition, varnish, or veneer will transform it into an efficient, modern institution. Rebuilding is absolutely essential. Some friends of the rural school advocate comprehensive changes in the curriculum and justly demand that the training of country boys and girls shall culminate in a complete industrial and vocational education, adapted to twentieth-century life. They are agreed that rural teachers must measure up professionally and otherwise to their colleagues in our best school systems; they recognize that salaries paid must be adequate to insure high-class training and instruction; and yet - they fail to see that these things are impossible in an obsolete school system in which the first elements of success are wanting. The one-room school must go. It cannot provide the education to which country boys and girls are entitled and which the welfare of the country demands.

Excerpt from The Consolidation of Rural Schools: The Present Status of the Movement Now statistics support the verdict of common observation that the little country school house has little attraction for the older boys and girls. Hence their attendance is irregular and upon one pretext or another they frequently drop out of school even before the completion of the elementary school course. For secondary education the district school can usually make no provision. Hence it fails to perform one of the most import ant functions of a public school.
