Rural Education, a National
Emergency
In this Miss Lathrop considerd the
folloing problems and their relations to
lural education: the work of the rural
life conference, recent rural legislation,
facts relating to illiteracy, fisical in-
i efficiency and conditions in areas oc-
cupied by foreners not assimilated, as
| reveald by the recent war, and prob-
| lems to be solvd before the rural edu-
cation problem can be solvd.
In part, Miss Lathrop said the work
of the rural life commission directed
the attention of educators to general
rural conditions. This was accomplisht
by health surveys, good roads surveys,
economic surveys. All these led to ef-
forts to improv educational conditions,
as is evidenst in the provisions of the
Smith-Lever Bil,intended to extend the
work of the agricultural colleges to
rural people; and the Smith-Hughes
Bil, to aid in training teachers for rural
scool work.
' The fact that rural education is a
national emergency was reveald by the
events of the recent war. The Draft
Act brought out the fact that, of the
number of illiterate army men, two-
thirds wer from the rural districts;
also that the greater part of those fisic-
j ally unfit wer from the country; also
'that great areas of foreners ar in cer-
tain districts unassimilated, and these
districts ar country districs. The gen-
eral disregard of public education was
given as the cause of these conditions.
Among the problems to be solvd be-
fore the rural education problem can
be solvd ar the good roads problem,
the land problem, and the problem of
conveniences for farm women. It is not
possible to hav good scools where the
people ar not home owners or stable
elements in the community. Hence the
land problem has a direct relation to
the problem of better rural scools. Good
roads make it possible for country life
to come in contact with the progress of
city life and the life of other districts.
Much depends on the condition of wo-
man in the country home. Modern
conveniences in the home ar necessary
for the mental and fisical welfare of
the farm woman. In conclusion Miss
Lathrop shoed that, from the beginning
of our nation, we have held the truth
that the welfare of a democracy depends
on the intelligence of its people, yet.
after 150 years, we ar seriusly con-
fronted with the problem of popular
education. —A. P.
