This, we believe, is the slogan and battle-cry which our educational forces all over the South should take up, and they and their successors should then keep up the fight until this now far-away ideal is realized. It is not possible, as Prof. Brogden points out on page 6, to give a child the right sort of educa tional training in a one-teacher school. Under such conditions a teacher must have so many reci tations from so many pupils that it is impossible to give even half-way adequate attention to any pupil or any subject. We do not mean by this that a bright, ambitious child cannot educate himself in a one -teacher school. He can educate himself in a measure anywhere. But we do mean to say that he cannot get proper help and 'guidance from his teacher, and for lack of : such ; guidance thousands and thousands of potentially useful boys and, girls never get "waked up" at all, never get "inspira tion, never apply themselves, while thousands of others who start out well get discouraged and VIVA 1ir Uirinrr mif tinlinnmr l(Troij !n i np rff r r uH, uxUS UUi uuuaPW u w m iguwiau auu THE NEW THURMAN TOWNSHIP CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL . drudgery. , ..

"That there should one Man die ignorant that had capacity for Knowledge this 1 call a Tragedy", said Carlyle,. "were it to hap pen more than twenty times in the minute, as indeed by some computa tions it does." That your boy or girl should go through life with fac ulties untouched by really effective education, Kind Reader, "that the lamp of his soul should go out" this is the tragedy against which we are protesting, and to our plea we' urge your most earnest attention. . :,-'-4::::::i& ilium H' ;'Mw SlwWf j - s I fUM )mm f-nnri,,.,- i hiiii..hi ir nim r.rmti i i "i f . . , And sometimes it seems to us that the whole Southern educational problem is summed up in the astonishingly simple question Shall we let our children walk two miles to a good school or orie mile to asorry one." It is not necessary to say that it is The Progressive Farmer's opini6n that it is better to walk two miles or even two. and a half to the good school, and we earnestly hope every reader will study the f urther arguments on this subject as given in Prof. Brog den's article on page 6, and in our article on page 15. 15 6 18 8 ONE OF THE SCHOOLHOUSES BEFORE CONSOLIDATION DON'T FAIL TO READ Page A Three-teacher School Within Reach of Every Child . .
