School teachers of Georgia are
learning how many very interesting
things (here are about Georgia that
lend themselves to effective pagean
try, and how very useful this method
can be made in impressing upon the
minds of the childrn in school the
historical grandeur, the natural re
sources and the products of the in
dustries of the state, not to mention
other subjects of presentation.
Those who attended the summer
school of Georgia last year had an
opportunity of witnessing how mater
ials in Georgia can be turned to
striking account in the field of page
antry. This year this work will be
presented even more elaborately by
Miss Carolyn Cobb who initiated It
last year.
The illustration given herewith
shows one of the views of a pageant
illustrating the agricultural resources
of Georgia.
This year, Georgia history will be
illustrated.
TEACHING AGRICULTURE
IN RURAL SCHOOLS
People were slow in recognising 1
the importance of agriculture as a i
school subject. When we stop to
think hew great our dependence must
always be on products' of the farm,
and as our population increases, the
necessity becomes still greater for
scientillc agriculture to make the
most from every acre used for any
purpose, we must see that agriculture
in our schools has come to stay and
to be increasing in its demands.
Teachers Needed.
The sudden impetus given quite re
cently to popular education in agri
culture has found very tew teachers
prepared and thousands unprepared
to meet the situation. Laws have
been passed requiring the teaching of
agriculture as a common school sub
ject, and teachers have been required
(o take examinations in it, yet op
portunities to prepare have been
meager. Since the only way to reach
the masses of the people with the
newer agriculture Is through the
medium of the public schools, teach
ers must prepare and the people must
Bupport the movement. This means
teachers in high schools as well as
in elementary schools. It means that
more rural high schools must he de
veloped, and more one-teacher schools
must adapt to the new order.
Government Aid.
The United States Government
gave the greatest stimulus lo agricul
ture through various acts and appro
priations establishing Agricultural
Colleges. This government is now
interested in extending the work to
the public schools. The Smith-Lever
Bill will extend greatly the extension
work already begun through club
agencies, and farm and home econo
mics demonstrators. The pendlhg
bill in Congress, Smith-Hughes Bill,
will go further and add new features.
This bill, or one like it, will sooner or
later pass into law. Communities
ready to avail themselves will be the
first lo receive aid. County boards,
county superintendents, and local
boards should not sleep over their op
portunities. The teachers must be
prepared, as a first step, and com-
Mnunity sentiment must be stirred to
put things in shape. The greatest
help in all this will be prepared teach
ers whose enthusiasm for the work
will increase with their preparation.
Institutes Not Sufficient.
Only a smajl portion of our teach
ers can come from our Agricultural
College graduates. These are quick
ly taken for various leading purposes.
The great number of teachers al
ready in active service, as well as
prospective teachers, must he reach
ed. The teachers’ institute can do
only a very little in this. The most
serviceable agency is the Summer
school. Summer schools have rapid
ly sprung up in every State until
these have taken the place of the old
institute which now takes its proper
place as a teachers’ meeting with the
'Superintendent for directions in local
work.
New Courses for Rural Schools.
Tlie coming session of the Georgia
Summer School for teachers has plan
ned in advance of any other school
to offer valuable courses for rural
teachers. These have In mind high
school teachers, elementary teachers,
even those in charge of one teacher
schools. In the one-teacher school,
the best agency to use is the boys’
and girls’ club. There is literature
for this to be had from the United
States Department of Agricutlure
the State College of Agriculture, and
other sources. This literature is
mostly in the shape of bulletins, some
of which are adapted for use in the
schools, some are not. There are
extension workers, agents of the
State College in connection with the
United States Government, who may
be called upon to aid teachers. The
teachers can organize the boys and
the girls into clubs, Corn Clubs, Can
ning Clubs, Home Economics Clubs,
Pig Clubs, Poultry Clubs, and Four
Crop Clubs. The beginning is simple
and the work will gradually grow.
The literature and plans are discuss
ed at club meetings in school, and
the work is done mainly at home
under life conditions. Boys and girls
are soon in the way of money mak
ing as well as of scientific education,
and new life is thus put into the
monotony of the old school.
A full course giving instructions to
teachers all about (his club work will
be given in the Summer School under
the directions of State Managers
Prof. J. Phil Campbell, Miss Mary
Creswell, and other leading extension
workers. There will be a course in
Home Economics for Hural Schools,
considering conditions where there is
little or no equipment.
Then for the further education of
teachers in the fundamentals of ag
riculture so they may become prott-
cient in this work, may broaden it
where schools consolidate, and may
become teachers of Agriculture in
high school positions, courses are of
fered in General High School Agri
culture, Floriculture and Gardening,
Soils and Fertility, Field Crops, Ani
mal Husbandry, and Farm Mechanic^.
These courses will be given by Prof
essors in the College of Agriculture
which insures their prime quality.
These make a rich feast spread for
the rural teachers, and even the city
teachers need to partake freely. The
Summer School wants to gather in
many teachers from every county and
town In Georgia so that these may go
back to form centers of radiation.
The teachers should be interested in
getting to these courses, and, above
all, the superintendents and board'
should be interested in sending teach
ers. This is one way to get agricul
ture in schools.
GEORGIA HIGH
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
What^the^Summer'school Means for
the Advancement of High Schools.
The teachers in the high schools of
Georgia generally receive higher .sala
ries than teachers in the lower
schools, and the terms are lodger
than the terms in most of the rural
schools. These high school teachers
should become the leaders of educa
tional reforms and activities. They
should patroulzd more freely the Hum
mer Schools, tile chief agencies to
put them in touch with modern move
ments. There is a great and Increas
ing demand to re-order education so
that it may minister more directly
to the life needs of the children. This
calls for the vocational trend in new
subjects, and a remodeling of our
older subjects. The following wi|l
give some idea of the courses offered
and the tulent secured to reach the
high schools through their teachers
in the Georgia Summer Schoel. 1
English.
Miss Elvira U. Cabell, A. B. (Chi
cago), the head of the English depart
ment of the Chicago Normal College
and a teacher of superior reputation
has been secured to give a course in
High School Literature, and a course
in the Teaching of Composition. These
are two most important subjects of
ten not well presented because of
difficulties. MIsb Cabell will be a
great help to all English teachers
who come to the Summer School.
English Grammar will be given b>
Dr. S. V. Sanford, adthor of the State
adopted text. Professor Steed of
Mercer University will give courses tn
Shakespeare and in the Novel. He
will also give a series of interpreta
tions, lecture readings, of great mas
terpieces, leading to a genuine Insight
and literary appreciation essential to
inspiration in the teacher of litera
ture. Dr. Sanford will give a compan
ion series on Tendencies of American
Fiction, and Dr. Park one on'Literary
Criticism.
