“In the rural schools, for example, I found agricul- tural instruction, shop instruction, forest projects, nursery projects, canning plants—evidence everywhere of a delib- erate purpose to make each school serve the interests of the community, “Tt is an integrated system, utterly lacking in that bane of educational systems—a superfluity of needless officials, You have one board, one superintendent and a responsible, professional staff. But you have retained all the democratic ideals, and have even increased the ereat local interest in the system.”
