FELMLEY, BAYLISS, COOK AND
CARNEY TALK COUNTRY SCHOOL
Normal Presidents on Record About Results and Ideas of State
Country Teachers' Meet.
The Illinois country teachers' pro
gram given recently at Normal made
a distinct impression, as shown in
the following review of some of its
larger ideas by three presidents of
state normal schools:
President David Felmley of the
Illinois Normal univerity in Nor
mal, where the association met, told
of the average teacher always begin
ning in the country and gravitating
rapidly to a. town school. He said:
"There is hardly a teacher that is
not simply in exile in the country.
We want teachers that will appre
ciate and love the country, and who
are willing to work in the country.
That is what this association stands
for.
"This meeting has been of great
benefit to this institution, a source
o' inspiration to every teacher and
every student here. This school is
now prepared to do some of the
things for which this meeting stands, i
, We have several courses, especially
I adapted to the country teacher.
Special JVeed of Rural Teacher.
It is very important that country
teachers go out full of the knowledge
of country life and better practice
in agriculture; full of enthusiasm for
all the activities that need to be
improved in the country; full of vi
sions of this better country life. The
boys and girls in the country school
ought to get such an introduction
to this knowledge that all through
their lives they will be interested in
these problems.
The university is getting posses
sion of nearly 100 acres of land
which had been rented out for years
and many things in agriculture will
be demonstrated here in connection
with" the school work.
Bajl Word for Former.
Principal Alfred Bayliss of Ma
comb Normal school, said his school
had been giving a special one-year I
course for the country teacher in
eluding household art and the ele
ments of agriculture. A new coun
try training school will be started
near Macomb soon. "It is simply
up to the country teachers to ask
for what they want and the normal
schools will do everything reason
able for them."
Mr. Bayliss strongly commended
to the country teachers the use of
the Illinois Farmers' institute press
bureau whose articles he saw in al-
jmost every paper ne picked up. By
sucn means ne would have their
ideas create public opinion so the
farmer would take as much inter
est In improving his school as in
raising crops and cattle.
Knrmer Can Get Superior .School.
If the farmer wants a superior
teacher, fully trained, he has only
to make: the conditions and demand
it, as did the three schools in Put
nam , county in forming the John
Swaney Consolidated school which
has just as good a high school as
there is in Bloomington. The farm
er can get any kind of a teacher he
wants any time that he is ready to
provide a first class school. But
this will not come about in the dis
trict where no one knows where the
teacher can board next term; where
needed out houses are not put up;
where the well is not cleaned out,
etc. There art country schools
quite as willing to pay .good salar
ies as in town if they think they can
get the service.
Mr. Bayliss referred to Michigan.
Wisconsin and other states which
have decided advantages over Illi
nois in their school systems and
laws. These states have ever so
many country training schools for
teachers; Illinois should have 102
or something equivalent.
Cook Aakn Hetter School I, aw.
Dr, John W. Cook, president of
DeKalb Normal school said: The state
may demand certain preparation of
teachers; in Indiana it is 12 weeks'
work, and the schools that give it
are crowded with teachers, but it is
not so in Illinois. At the end of this
preparation a certificate to teach
should .be granted by the department
of education. Legislative require
ments have done much for the law
yers and physicians; see how they
have gone forward. Our fundament
al need is for a reorganization of
the school system so it will take on
a professional aspect.
A person inspection of the coun
try schools of DeKalb county had
convinced Dr. Cook that "the farm
ers are not willing to put up the
cash for a first class country school."
They must learn the tremendous en
terprize they are dealing with. Wis
consin leads perhaps in its school
system. It has 24 county training
schools and eight normals. We great
ly need legislative recognition for
the teacher.
Slake a School That Can Lead.
I count this one of the very best
teachers' meetings I ever attended.
There are splendid, sane, inspiring
addresses, especially those of Baily,
Kern and Butterfleld. But it seems
absurd to expect the correct work to
be done with no higher institution
than a school of eight grades. We
want a rural school of such sweep
it can afford to employ teachers
able for rural leadership in all the
lines discussed by Butterfleld. We
have got to have something substan
tial and persistent; some, intellectual
uniting center that will bring the
people together. We must have
schools to teach more extended
knowledge and calling for men and
women of such culture and power
and reach -of thought and such 'con'-'
ceptions, as shall be adequate to the
situation. This means inevitably
the consolidated school out in the
country, .
Miss Afable Carney, originator of
Country Teachers' association, said
Dr. Cook Is right about the consolidated
school, but right here are the coun
try teachers who are to go out into
the country and institute a campaign
for the consolidated school. They
must be educated for it; they must
take the thought to the people; we
must take them as they are and alj
the normals can render service to
these teachers. I prophesy the time
when all the things Mr. Butterfleld
spoke about will be a reality in Illi
nois.
Two or three definite" things will
help this along. One is federation
and the Country Teachers' associa
tion ought to be the federating
force. It ought to get together, the
chief men of all the different organ
izations interested in rural progress,
th Grange, the Farmers' institute,
the church, and others, and do
something. (This conference for
state federation will be called).
Normala Asked to Do Three Thlaa;a.
Why cannot the normal schools
have a department for the training
of country school teachers? It is a
difficult problem. There should be
some one in the normal school, a
recognized head, to look after the
country teachers, as Mr. Burnhaiij
does in Michigan. If not their spe
cial Interests will be lost in tli5
shuffle. We want a country train
ing school where the practical work
of a rural teacher can be given. And
another great help would be 'exten
sion work in farm communities. The
training of country teachers is fun
damental because the country teach
er is the best community loader. We
want action on this. From State
Farmers' institute bulletin.
