Standardization of Rural Scools
The final afternoon of the conference
was devoted to the problem of stand-
ardization of rural scools and the
problems attendant thereunto. Miss
Lathrop discust the general idea of
standardization—what the term means,
the history of it as workt out in differ-
ent states, the different agencies for
standardization, the effects of stan-
dardization on the scool itself, the
community, the district, and general
educational progress; and some of the
dangers of standardization, such as,
complicated score cards or score cards
difficult of definit interpretation, lack
of follo-up machinery in state offises,
especially in the matter of keeping
j scools up to standard; self-satisfaction
I and danger of false ideals, especially
I in scools in which the scoring is done
on a complicated mechanical basis. In
this discussion it was interesting to
kno that Texas stands next to Minne-
sota, the originator of standardized
scools, in number of scools standardi-
zed, and givs the highest bonus for
standardization, $400.
Dr. McBrien devoted himself to the
problems of standardizing rural scools,
such as adequate and professionally
traind teachers; a longer scool term,
consolidated scools, teachers’ homes
and demonstration farms, all year ses-
sion of scool adapted to local condi-
tions and local needs, community or-
ganization, establishment of free pub-
; lie libraries, universal high scool edu-
cation, readjustment and formulation
of a curriculum adapted to the needs
of the pupil, elimination of illiteracy,
which is found mostly among rural
people; Americanization of foreners,
conservation of rural helth, making
the burden of the farm woman lighter
by the introduction of modern improv-
ements in the home.
The problem of adequate profession-
ally traind teachers is difficult. Dr.
McBrien thinks it can be solvd only by
raising the salaries of the teachers and
at the same time demanding certain
educational requirements of them.
Longer terms ar absolutely necessary
if the pupils ar to reciev the benefits
of the standardized rural scool. Con-
solidation of rural scools wil help solv
the problem of insufficient funds to
carry on the scool as it should be car-
rid on. In some or all places there is
distinct need of the teachers’ home and
of the scool demonstration farm. Other
problems wer merely pointed out and
! their importance mentiond. Dr. Me
Brien closd his address with an appeal
to the rural scool teacher to keep these
problems in mind so as to be of aid in
solving them in his community during
the ensuing year.
