It is know some fifty or sixty years since ` a great many of our rural schools were _ built. The architectur and construction |of those pioneer schools was equal to. .11 not superior to, that of the homes of ithe settlers. Our` grandparents bdieved ' iin the value of school. both for the indi.-; lvidual and the nation. Great advance has been made in the building and the_equip- ment of our farm buildings in the fifty i.years.~, !M_-any farm homeshave furnaces and all modern conveniences. but the chil-; ldren. from these splendid homes. attend? ischools that are very little in advance oli- those attended by an earlier generat.ioni' -,i'hat lived in log houses. I was surprised.` lto read, that there are yet over one hun-` ldred log school-houses in Ontario. Manyi of our rural schools are away behind the` times in "regard to heating. lighting. vc-uni` .1 ation and equipment. We need a cam- ipaign of rural school improvement. ` Our children should be taught the dig,- nity of work. The ideal held before\ too lmany of the pupils in our schools" is that ;education will enable th-em to make a good Ffarm realize that they.cannot make a isuccess there without working; hence the ltween rural and urban people can be {averted byholding up to the pupils of `our schools the ideal of service and by! `educating the hand as well as the mind. ;their ideal. The threatened di\i be+ more pleasant and profitable. .`x l\nn 1-Ln they-no to-nafna anlavnnl nnnfinnc: Page Two `rural SpU()l. |v There has been an association "of school trustees in Ontario for about thirty-six `years.

It is now called` lthe Trustees` and Ratepayers Deparfmenti iof the Ontario Educational Association. and, `last year a Rural Section_ was formed withl the idea of mroviding a programme on! rural education for one session next East- ler.

For many years this was well ldone. Gradually the trustees. through lack]` of time or interest. have not shown asi` much interest in the school and consent iouently they have been given less to do.! I lThe administration has been more centraliz- led in Toronto. A campaign is now going! on in Ontario to arouse the trustees. rate-` lpayers and parents to a greater appreci- \ation `of the V school.
