A VITAL RURAL NEED
The following excerpt from a bulle¬
tin on supervison of one-teacher
schools, just published by the U. S.
Bureau of Education, department of
the interior, points to the solution of
at least one rural problem:
“Lacking the training which a su¬
pervisor could give, the rural teacher
fails to inspire the most intelligent
progressive farmers with confidence in
her ability. Realizing the lack of edu¬
cational opportunities provided by
their local one-teacher schools, such
farmers move to town so that their
children may not be handicapped by
being deprived of good elementary
schooling. An occupation fundamental
to the welfare of the nation loses skill¬
ed workers and rural communities lose
leaders. The local school becomes a
poorer school. It is deprived of finan¬
cial support. It suffers a loss also in
the contagion of interest created by
children whose parents are eager for
them to have an education. Lack of
supervision means untrained teachers
and poor schools. Poor schools mean
cheapened communities and lessened
farm production.
“One of the most vital immediate
needs of farming sections today is a
sufficient number of educational lead¬
ers capable of training teachers in ser¬
vice and possessing the ability to
arouse communities to give enthusias¬
tic support to local schools."
