The difficulty in scejt'dtig he,.rding
accommodations in the, country not
only has hampered the normal func
tioning of hundreds of out-of-the-way
rural schools, but in many Instances
has compelled the closing of these in
stitutions. The modern teacher, after
haviag given years to preparation ina
it ' b i jei[ h the oatlo"
the-way communitles in the country,
due primarily to the primitive accom-:
modations provided In nearly all in
stances.
To remedy this evil a movement
satrted some years ago in some of the
Northwestern states now has spread
to the whole country. and there is to
day a natli-wide interest in the mat
ter of state and county ('o-olperation
in building suitable homes in conjunc
tion with the rural schools. W\ler
ever this plan has heen put into "-f
feet it has had a telling effoet.
While ever} subject on the program
had Its own interest t,. those- pres
ent, the outstiandiig feateires we-re the
discussions on tetachers' holes. men
teachers, classroom supervision and
I)r. Monroe's talks on school mlelasure

homes is of practical significance for
the moment, ats it is playing an im
portant part in solving the problem of

states of the Union.
