FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.
Karin haa lia.l a.,mn
tiling to way recently about better
farming and better household
arrangements, better roads and
better methods of marketing the
crops of the country.
Now we want to say a little
about better school* for your
children. The census reports are
so me Vi hat surprising, in that
tin y exhibit the continued growth
of the cities at the expense of the
farming districts. Our hope has
1,,m i| that, with the trolley sys
tem. free rural delivery, improved
agricultural machinery and the
increased comforts of the farm
home, there would lie a check to
this tendency toward t he city.
One reason for the growing
cities is that parents go to town
to educate their children. The
city school-/ because it is ii better
school than the country school,
draws population away from the:
fanning districts into the cities,
large and small, d tins country.
One remedy is lor the farmers
themselves to consider the school
question, first in its relation to
the eternal welfare of their chil
dren and second, in relation to
its economic value. In the old
du\H the rich farmers of the Smith ■
in any neighborhood united in
employing a governess or tutor
for the ch’ldreu, and near neigh-1
hors shared tlie services of these
teachers.
Simh an arrangement, does not
meet the necessities of this lime.
\\ lull We do need is better schools
everywhere,
They arc g.-ttiug them in Cali
fornia, as well as in New Eng*
land, but wo are not getting what i
w>> arc entitled to in the South.
We produce in this issue ■>f Home
and Farm some picturesot schools
m California.
prof Huberts, formerly of Cor
nell, in discussing the problem of
rural schools, says: “Wherever;
the inc'.ine of the farmer will per
mit, the children have been sent
to the higher schools in the cities
and villages Wln ie it will not,
they are often at home at work
bccauw-i their services are neces
sary to the family living; but j
ii t infrequent they have dropped
out because of lack of interest. '
Sometimes tin y have even learn
ed lo have tit" schoolroom active- j
lv at the most critical period of
their lives ”
Prof. Roberts says that poor
schools are largely the product of;
tHior agricultural methods, poor;
returns from agricultural labor.
Hut if the farmers will get the
best schools they can atl’ord, they
will soon realize that good schools
lend to better methods of agricul
ture, happier and healthier chil
dren and to more etlieient labor.
Prof. Roberts says very well
that one remedy is the broadening
of the ideal of the country school
until it shail become quite a so
cial center f>r the whole country
side. “In niv dreams 1 see,’ - savs
he, “tins rural center housed in a
large, plain, attractive building, ;
fitted with kiteheti and assembly
hall tor public meetings, social,,
recreat ive, educational and relig- ,
tons, a building which will fur
nish conveniences for carrying
on all th - activities which the
country p**oh!« desire and need,
a place in which anyone who has
anyth.ug t • -ay or do which will
improve any phase of rural life,
and winch will stimulate the no
ble endeiiv r. should find a ros
trum and a welcome; the central
meeting place, perhaps, for two
or more districts where agricul
ture will be taught the old and
young and where handicrafts and
doun-stie economy will be taught
along side the three RY !
To every country school there
should be a large playground at- 1
tached. These . playgrounds are
luxuries in th<* tit.ics hut they are
easy acquired in rural districts.
T.-ach your children to play and
g! v** t hem 1 1 me t<i {day.
Then they could easily add
school gardens with prizes to the
children for the work they do in
»hese gardens. This would make
ihe school more attract ive and in
turn interest, Mic children in gar
dcning and farming, making of
t hem better gardeners and far-1
mers. Among the necessities for
children nowadays, no less than
bool,- and desks, are: Shade to
play in. seats to eat lunches on,
swing- and playthings. Home tV;
