Excerpt from Better Country Schools for Missouri T trains one-half our boys and girls. Half our population receive here their training for life. The country schools do not meet country needs; but in the city schools we find courses of study in bookkeeping, stenography, business law, courses that train in industries, shop work, carpentry, sewing, cooking and those things which train for life's work. The country school does not train for country life, does not deal with country problems; in fact, the country school faces the child directly away from the farm. Books, dead facts, dates, words, dry as dust, having no bearing on the vital interests of country life - these constitute the greater part of the country child's school work.

Excerpt from Plans for School Improvement in Village and Rural Communities, Missouri That men are created equal is unquestioned; that they remain so is sophistry. The schoolboy with shining morning face is at the parting of the ways. If city bred, his school days are spent in costly buildings with modern equipment and under the tuition of experts. The country lad has none of these, and yet his numbers are greater, while from his sturdy ranks come the men who do great things command armies, build industries, separate continents. From the outland, where life throbs strongest, the air is purest, the thoughts cleanest, come these handicapped youths, to engage in the battle of life and win or lose.

Excerpt from Teacher-Training High Schools of Missouri The last session of the Legislature saw fit to amend the cacher-training law by doubling the state aid for teacher training schools. Where there is one school in the county, the school will receive where there are two such schools in a county, each will receive is the maximum aid that can be given to any county; and it is worthy of note that the Legislature took this forward step without being urged to do so by anyone. Such action on the part of the state's representatives be speaks the people's interest in the important work of training teachers adequately for directing our rural schools in an efficient manner. We are all coming to realize that the children in our rural schools must have better educational advantages and that one step in this direction is to give them better prepared teachers.

Excerpt from History of Missouri: A Text Book of State History for Use in Elementary Schools Much has been said and written recently concerning the teaching of Citizenship. History has long been recognized as a subject which has great value for this purpose. The desire to make loyal citizens of our boys and girls gave History a place in our public schools soon after the Civil War. For some reason the results obtained in the teaching of History have not been as satisfactory from the standpoint of good citizenship as is desirable. The author believes that one of the chief reasons for the failure to realize these practical results is to be found in both the method and material used in our teaching of History. Good citizenship consists largely in the ability of an individual to adjust himself to the community environment in which he lives. Any community is what it is because of its past. To understand a community it is necessary to know its History. But our Historians usually begin with Columbus, a native of a foreign country and of a different age, and they seldom get closer to the environment of the child than Massachusetts. The well established pedagogical principle of proceeding from the known to the unknown is ignored. A noted educator has said, "We should begin with the boy, where he is, while he is there." State History furnishes the material which connects the life of the child and the local community with events of historical importance in our national life.

Excerpt from The University of Missouri Bulletin, Vol. 1: Consolidation of Schools in Missouri In November, 1911, the University issued a bulletin on consolida tion of rural schools. This second bulletin has been prepared to explain the new consolidation laws, to create sentiment in favor of the movement, and to suggest plans of procedure. All literature on the subject has been examined and that which is applicable to Missouri has been used. Much material has been collected by correspondence with experts upon consolidation in sev eral states. The University of Missouri has established a Bureau of Consoli dation to which letters upon any of the questions involved may be addressed. Plats and information about proposed plans may be sent to the Bureau if an opinion as to methods of procedure is desired. The University, the State Department of Education, the Normal Schools, and a number of county superintendents are all deeply interested in consolidation and will gladly give assistance whenever it is possible. Address all communications with the University to the Bureau of Consolidation, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri.
