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; Farm.
