HOW nu: SYSTEM CAN BE CHANGED AND
BETTERED IN THIS STATE.
ADDRESS OK S?P?81NTKHDKHT McMAHAH.
Sovoral Things, Including Inlolllgont Toachlng,
Needed Moro Than Longor Terms.
Tho following is tho address of
Superintendent of Education Mo
Mahan, at Harris Springs, on thc
country school problem :
Tho country school problem is thc
most important problem of our civili
zation to-day.
1. It is tlie problem of our agricul
tural emancipation, of our industrial
prosperity. If thc truth bo told, wo
are in a bad way agriculturally. The
country is being deserted, planta
tions aro being eaten up by mort
gages, dwellings and hams built bo
foro the war are going to decay, and
if destroyed to-morrow could not be
replaced. Wo arc living on tho ac
cumulations of the past and fast
using up the little capital of our pos
sessions. This is true of many
neighborhoods. I ara thankful that
? :,s not true of all. But men now
farm without hope. The way out
must be throng more intelligent
methods, better education.
2. Thc country school problem is
thc problem of good government.
Thc terms "ward politician" and
"city boss" have acquired a meaning
Chat tells of some of tho evils of gov
ernment in cities. Although "cross
roads politician" is also a term of
disrespect, it has no suggestion of
vicious purpose or of venality. The
crossroads politician is charged with
narrowness, mistaken /.eal. Ile is a
patriot, and all lie needs is education.
There is among the people in the coun
try an independence and an individ
uality that are a safeguard to the State.
lt will bo a bad day for us when we no
longer have this sturdy constituency
to appeal to. Wo must, therefore,
by education solve the problem of
how to make a living in thc country,
and we must provide adequately for
tho education of children reared in
the country.
3. The country school problem is
the problem of diversified life, of all
round interest. Thus far, nearly all
ot' our city people have had relatives
in the country whom ikey at limes
visited. Hence all our people have
some experience of country life
there are none but have been brought
under the influence of this contract
with nature. This can no longor
be so if thc exodus from the country
continues, if we continue to have
poci'v.r.Quntry schools that fail to lit
boys and gir!^j%o live prosperously
and happily in \h.e country-such
poor schools that parents see no
hope for their children there and go
to town, to live from hand to mouth,
at uncertain employment, in search
of schools.
4. The country school problem is,
moreover, the problem of our na
tional vigor. Tho majority of the
leading business men of our cities
were reared on thc plantations. So
it is in each generation. The city
seems to require n. book country to
draw upon for reinforcements. When
thone cnn. no longer bo .supplied thc
end is at hand.
The country school problem is in
deed the i roblem of tho preserva
tion of our Caucasian civilization and
purity of blood. If thc country bo
abandoned to thc negroes then that
which makes a people great will be
theirs and not tho white man's. Thc
hardihood, the independence, thc
courage that country lifo develops
will be lost to thc Caucasians, who
will have gathered into congested
centers, wheio strength and vigor of
mind and body are at last sapped.
Tho country will supply the men
that dominate. Who nba!! these be ?
Hut I ara expected to point out
what may be done for tho improve
ment of tho country school. Thc
special proplom of thc schools in tho
country is due to tho sparsity of
population and tho poverty of thc
people. The chief dilliculty is the
distance apart. Tho school money
is apportioned according to enroll
ment, and each school is attended
by KO small a number that its share
of the publie fund supports it only
pitifully. There are many needed
improvements. What, arc they ?
I would not if I could, present lo
you a finished theory of how to sot vc
this problem of tho country school.
You would distrust any theory. All
improvement must bo a growth. My
theory might need to bo modified as
conditions develop. In aspiring to
the ofllco which I now hold, I under
took to solve this problem, at least in
a measure. Hut it was not my choice
to attempt to solve it hore in words,
/
.1.1.... M If.l.i.n m inWM..???^?liimwii >?.i. '?.?
I ... , ?.--- ! ---
jThis Bubjcot wnw assigned mo. I aha
glad, however, to give you ?omo ol:
my thoughts, and I want you tv
think on tho question with mo that
together wo may solve them yet.
Tho cammi opinion seems to bo
that the ono thing needed for ira
proving tho country sohools is a
longer term. I wish to ?ny emphati
cally that in my opinion tho longor
torra is tho last thing neoded. It is
needed, but thcro sro other things
needed worse.
1. Tho first thing neodod is bottor
teaching, moro intelligent effort to
Ward tho moulding of oharaotor. I
havo boon trying to impress this.
Tho summor sohools aro working
toward this ond. This association
has for years labored to improvo tho
teachers of tho State, and has dono
much.
2. Wo need a bottor courso of
study in our sohools. This is olosoly
rolatod to bottor teaching, and to
gothor they would transform our
sohools. This improvement is needed
in all tho schools and in tho colloges,
too. There is too much purposeless
touching. Subjects aro taught as if
they V wore, an end in themselves.
They are not mado to appeal to a
child's interests. There is no at
tempt to show their bearing upon
lifo. A boy is harassed with details
about political geography whon tho
names of tho nations aro meaning
less to him. Years ave wasted in
drill in tho rules of grammar, Mud
the boy goes out oil the play ground
and violates every rule. I Io has
never suspected that those dry rules
have anything to do with tho spoi>oh
that is so indispensable a part of life.
We should teach a man to know
not passively but actively ; to bo not
? moro receptado of information,
mit a potent fnoter. Wc should
Leach more of science, and especially
mould there bo in all our teachers
nore of tho scientific spirit. Wc
ihould develop in the children a love
>f truth and a self reliance. Teach
hem to realize the universality and
/he immutability of cause and effect.
Then they will know that a wrong
lone can never be righted ; that it
miinot be undone. Teach a man to
.ecogni/.e in all spheres of activity
bo orderly processes of nature, and,
?o feel his responsibility to bo in har
nony with thc Divino will, to pro
note the good and not the evil.
Education doos not consist merely
n developing in us mental power,
t should also supply us with useful
tnowlcdgo of our environment.
This cannot be acquired in a day,
ind it is folly to lose the years of
?ur schooling in exercise morely for
,ho strengthening of our minds, as
lumb-bells strengthen tho muscles,
nstond of strengthening our minds
>y acquainting us with the great
ruths that arc involved in tho lifo
ibout us and with tho problems that
viii soon press upon us. Lifo is too
hort. Duties aro too pressing. Wo
hould learn what we need. In tho
ast half century there have come to
ho front social and industrial prob
cms oven hadowing all else. Some
age has said, "The only good is
:nowledge ; tho only evil is igno
ance." In the last analysis, every
food goes back to knowledge as its
mais, livery evil may bo resolved
nto ignorance as its cause. Wo must
?now tho right in order to do tho
ight.
Hut education should do moro
han lit one to grapple with the prob
oms of life. The whole man should
ic developed to the fullest. Our
ourse of study and our teachers
hould cultivate the artistic side of
?ur nature, that we may he in full
inrmony with creation. Otherwise,
hese potential pleasures remain un
known to us-there is an irreparable
oss to tho sum-total of human hap
?iness. We should teach art and
nusic in our schools. Thc expori
neut at tho Slato summer school hat
atisficd mc that anybody can learn
o draw, and that anybody cnn loan
o sing.
The school should not aim to pre
??ire for college ; it should prepare
or life. Tho college should tnk(
ho boy that comes te it and pre
?are him still better for life. Il
hould not make an idol out of whnl
t (rails a "college course." All eda
ation should preparo for lifo ; shouh
iclp to give us a true attitude to
vari! life.
8. Helter moral support from lo
?al authorities is tho next most im
lortant need of our country schools
Thc trasteo and tho parent, as wei
is the teacher, need to bo educate*
O their duty. Their attitude ma;
lestroy all discipline. Above al
hey should not change tho toacho
mloss there is a certainty of gcttinj
totter teaching. The good tenehe
ihould bo kept permanently. Thu
nay tho teacher learn tho children'
lispositions, win thoir hearts am
,rnin their characters. Moreover,
icw teacher doesn't know whore th
ihildron aro prepared to take u
heir studies. A largo part of th
icssion is practically lost whilo th
.cacher is experimenting with th
di i ld ron.
4. Hotter supervision is anotlu
iced. The County Superintendent
ire usually paid too little to suppoi
,hcm and permit them to dovot
homsclves to tho work and study (
itiporviflion ns a profession. The
mist pursue other occupations for
iving. Some perform no more thu
?ortain oloric.il duties that might i
kvell bo performed by tho Conni
Auditor. All this should bo change
.
I
6. Bettor organization omi divis
ion of th?) sohool itself is o pressing
noodr Wo should seek to oultivute
o\ir country schools. Instead of
four or livo poor Bohopls aoatterod
over a neighborhood we should have
ono strong sohool, with two or more
teachers. The children could be
graded and taught bettor. The
toaohcrs would stimulato oaoh other
by association and conforouoe. Tho
monthly salary could bo highor and
tho employment longer. But how
shall tho children got to tho sohool ?
Hero is tho problem. I insist that
thoy oaiK w.'dk a groat deal fnrthor
than thoir too indulgont paronts are
now usually willing for thom to
walk. Wo now havo many neigh
borhoods in which it ?B possiblo to
disponso with noven?! schools and
patronize ono without serious incon
venience. I am glad to observo
some tendenoy to do this.
lu tho Northonstorn and North
western States thoy have rosortod
Lo tho practico of employing a driver
find toam to bring to Behool and
Sorry homo tho childron who livo
beyond a cortain distance I hope
within tho next yoar to look into
this system. It is vory possible that
with tho money savod by abolishing
just ono of our weak country BCIIOOIB
ihe moro trem?te childron may bo
tauted to tho big sohool house which
Krill be supported by tho many of
ho three or four other soliools sup
tlanted by it.
0. Lastly we need better financial
lupport, longer tor.as, bettor cquip
nont, better salaries. This must
some by lovying a special local tax.
[ put this last because I believo that
vith our present resources wo can
lo much cit the lines above indicated
,o givo us better schools. When
heso things are done and tho poo
ile sec that tho schools arc not a
tumbug, they will bo readier to pay
nore money to support thom. But
tittil there is evidence of something
)oing done, nobody is willing to give
nore money. I believo that a good
cacher will, in tito end, bring overy
hing else. We seo it tn many
oonlities.
One thought more. There aro
lioso who condemn universal edu
ction. Tiley think that education
iclongs to the select few and unfits
he ordinary man for Iiis station in
ife, makes him discontented with his
ut, threatens socialism. I will only
ay that as long as there is room for
rnprovornont it is a curse to keep
neil's minds contented. To doubt
hat it is good for all men to know,
.i to believe that darkness is better
han light-it is to doubt that it is
;ood for us to know the wondrous
ruths in tho midst of which (?od itas
ilnocd us.
