These demonstration schools are: Ashton, I-Iazeflton, Bracewell and New Liberty. The training teachers or supervisors of these respective schools are: Miss Eleanor Salberg, lVIrs. Grace Peterson Hunt, lVIiss Laura V. Riley, Mrs. Inez Emer- sen Reynolds. With the present members of demonstration rural schools Teachers College is enabled to give 36 students actual rural school experience each year where conditions are materially different from those in cities, towns and villages. A In these schools Teachers College co-operates with taxpayers of the nearby districts to equip buildings, both schools and teacherages. These teacherages which have been built to respond to the difficulties of teachers Ending convenient boarding places are built on a bungalow style and are tastefully and attractively furnished. The training teacher along with two student teachers, as is the plan for next year, work together and live together in the teacherage, which is now Wa part of each model rural school equipment. The Demonstration Schools are under the direction of the county superintendent of schools and the department of country schools and the director, Prof. SI. H. Shriber, who assumes direct supervision. The Departments of Agriculture, lvlanual Training, lNIusic and Domestic Science are giving weekly lessons in their respective lines in these schools in order to vitalize and motivate the regular subjects taught. The assistant teachers or student helpers are changed monthly. During thglfirst few days the new assistant simply observes, then she gradually assumes the duties of work in classes assigned her until she takes full charge of all classes. Student teachers are rated at the end of four weeks' training in the Demonstration Schools by the regular teacher and the director of country schools upon the following general points: I. Physical and Native Efficiency. . . . . . I3O units II. bleasure of Instruction ..... . . .130 units III. Preparatory Efficiency . . . . .130 units IV. Acquired Efficiency .......................... 110 units The rating system tends to intensify effort and encourage a definiteness of purpose and aim which should characterize the work of the rural teachers especially. On May 25, 1917, was held the first Annual School and Community Day. The program which was furnished by the four schools consisted of: I. General Exhibit. ' II. Lunch. III. Program. IV. Athletic Events. AYVIYA1 W VNVMVYVMMWMVVNMVVMMVMVMX1 a A TfA1P0dfY5X1K'6N1 VNVM1 Q si Q 5 si si Q 5 Q a 5 Q Q 2 ' 9 6
