letters which comes to the Pupil through the is of much greater cultural value than that of the two with the majority of the has never been taken in by the the one fact is visualized by the the other in most matter of the imag the reasoned generalization in regard to the known plows re Mains As a part of the Stock of on the deplorable condition of Rural i knowledge of the Pupu the Gener education in our beloved regard to the trains and the remedy for that conditions in these in pointing out the reactionary character of our Rural school i among other with the following children Are Given school ing which Aims to St them for Urban life and succeeds in unfitting them for Rural and As a consequence there is a steady Drift of the Best of i the far bred children away from i the unfitting of the children for open country life is due to the fact that education in the Rural schools is not related to Rural life is becoming More Complex the need of appropriate education is correspondingly greater and the conditions Are growing relatively existing educational sys tem is perpetuated through the control of Rural schools by irresponsible Urban who do not know the educational needs of the Rural and if they did know these do not know How to satisfy and if they knew the needs and How to satisfy Are thoroughly wedded to the its use and they might be said to be Riding the mule of Prog Ress facing backwards and hanging on by the plan by which these Urban Scholastic perpetuate the i Utility of the Rural schools is by Means of mechanical system which enables them to control the teachers exam the teachers the programme of the the textbooks und the pupils sex this is based on the military or penal system which sup presses initiative and individuality and Aims to formalize the Rural schools so that they will be All alike this is euphemistically standardizing the to hts Farmers have no control Over their schools they pay for the but they do not run the most important single fact in the perpetuation of this Mechan j ical system is learning by Rote from instead of using the actual living experiences of the children in teaching the Story of someone else experiences As told in a textbook is instead of using things As the instruments of something written in a Book about things is outcome is simply deploy the farm children get neither cultural nor vocational education and they Are not prepared for farm to ligation in regard to the trains passes not Only is the known particular of sense experience More effective for cultural but it is of greater vocational value to the farm that the years teaching should have been related to the plow and its kind rather than the railway train and its there is a great Opportunity to develop and store in the moral consciousness of the Pupil the spiritual value of the plow and the which is entirely lost when the farm boys and girls Are educated on the plow should be the Centre of Educa Tion in every Rural school it is the Centre of not Only the physical and economic but the spiritual it is the holy instrument which uproot the sacred soil for the pupils of town the train might Well be in a we should utilize As educative Means
