spoil the chilil,” will learn from a .survey by Prof W'hit Bropan of the Northwestern university school of education that rural schools still retain to a large extent teaching methods of 40 years ago. ‘•Modern educational techniques have not pervaded rural areas,” said Brogan, who made his survey in cooperation with the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. ”Rural education is a product of tradition and system Learning is wrapped in unrelated packages with little or no relation to the student's own life.’ i The typical country school, according to the survey, consists of one large, square room without electric | lights and inevitably painted in dull I brown or drab gray. Equipment consists of rows of i desks usually scarred by figures and initials screwed to the floor. I the teacher’s desk, a heating unit, a | small case of texa books, ami. in rare j instances, a dictionary. The teacher, who draws an aver- (

age salary of $42 a month, conducts c-.isscs for the entire student body. He or she. on the average, is a high school graduate with one year of nor lal school study. A typical school day. the survey indicates, is divided into 28 divisions, with recitations of 15 to 29 minutes each. A study of rural schools in one county shows that the average number of grades taught by one teacher is 6.4. and that the average number of pupils is 216 Reading, writing arithmetic and spelling constitute, as in the old days, the major portion of the curriculum. Geography, history and civics are fd nd only in the upper classes. “Provision for hot lunches small grills whereby warm food and hot drinks aie provided is one of the few worthwhile innovations made by some schools,” said Professor Brogan. In one school year, according to the professor, first grade students receive the equivalent of 10 and onesixth full days of instructional aid.

Eighth graders are more fortunate, receiving approximately 35 and onenaif days of instructions per year. Brogan suggested classroom* should be made more attractive, the changing of the concept that education is a series of brief unrelated units, and that there must be a growing acceptance of the belief that edu* cation is futile unless it produces »orne change in the student's manner of living.

period on May 19 A fifth primary remains scheduled for Florida. June 2. hut it is limited to Democrats and will have no national significance Ohio offers another opportunity to measure the Democratic bolt from the new deal. Col. Henry C Breckinridge has entered the Democratic primaries. It is Borah against the field in Ohio with the state Republican organization against him. Robert A. Taft, son of the late president, was put up by Ohio regulars as a favorite son candidate in whose pocket the Buckeye delegation would remain until the leaders decide which presidential parade to join. Suports of Landon, Frank Knox of Illinois; former President Hoover, and a scattering of Ohio politician* who favor the candidacy of Sen L. J. Dickinson of Iowa join in back of the Taft delegate slate. Looking at Ohio from the outside, the Borah movement appears to be more of an effort of one Republican group to seize control of the state organization from anotner Republican group than anything else. Borah’s anti old guard rebellion gave the Ohio "outs’’ an opportunity to attack the "ins" and the “outs” are fighting under the Borah banner.

The first storm gathered in a Geneva report that Italy’s representative nifty demand the ousting of the Ethiopian delegate from the council table on the ground a conquered nation no longer is a member of the league. Small neutral powers, particularly the Scandinavian states, already have sounded a warning they are prepared to fight against “such an open mockery of the league."
