GENERAL REPORT PURPOSE The purpose of the appropriation of two million dollars by the Thirty- fifth Legislature for the aid of country schools is to promote the country school interests of the State by aiding and encouraging the people of the rural districts to support their schools liberally by local taxation, to provide attractive school grounds and erect modern school buildings, to improve the sanitary and hygienic conditions for the sake of the healtli and morals of the children, to install the equipment necessary for effective teaching, to employ better trained teachers and have longer school terms, to establish a high ideal of what a country school ought to be, and, finally, to have confidence in the country school as an effective agency in the making of better citizens. In a democracy it is the duty of the government to educate its citizens; and the purpose of a public free school system is to inculcate and perpetuate democratic ideals. ' The Thirty-fourth Legislature seemed to realize the importance and need of an adequate system of country schools, and, therefore, made a liberal appropriation for the purpose of improving them. The Thirty-fifth Legislature, in response to a popular demand, and actuated by a desire to continue the good work so well begun, showed wisdom and foresight by making a more generous provision for the purpose of encouraging better country schools. It seems to be generally accepted that the principle of State aid is correct and that the children of the rural communities should be given an equal educational opportunity with the children of the towns and cities. With the immense resources which this State possesses, there is no legitimate reason why the children of the country districts should not be the most fortunate in the land. With their free outdoor air and rural environment, they have many advantages over the children of the urban communities, and with adequate school facilities, it ought to be easy to develop them into strong, intelligent, moral men and women. STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS With a view to establishing a reasonable standard to which any school may be easily raised without the imposition of hardships, the law fixes certain requirements with which all schools making application for State aid must comply in order to be eligible to receive assistance. These standards and requirements are as follows : Site. — The site must be at least one acre in extent (five acres preferred), properly laid out, well drained, and provided with a sufficient supply of wholesome drink- ing water. Buildings. — -The 'school building must comply with the Texas State sclioolhouse building law as given on pages 8-10, Bulletin 65, or mnst substantially meet the requirements thereof. Equip- ment.— The school must be provided with the necessary equipment, sucb as desks, seats, blackboard, library, maps, globes, and charts, as, in the opinion of the State Superintendent, the school is able to provide. Teachers. — The teachers employed shall furnish to the State Super- intendent satisfactory evidence of professional training or successful experience, and must render a service of high grade. Enumeration and Population. — The total scholastic enumeration of the district must not be more than three hundred, exclusive of transfers, according to the latest scholastic census: and the total population of the town, if the school be located in a town, must not be more than one thousand accord- ing to the latest Federal census. Attendance. — The average daily at- tendance upon the school must have been not less than fifty per cent of the scholastic enumeration for the year previous to, and not less than seventy-five per cent during, the year that State aid is received, with certain exceptions. Local Tax. — A local school tax of not less than fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valuation of taxable prop- erty must have been voted, and in no case shall the valuation of tax- able property in the district be less than the valuation of the county tax assessor ; provided, that in extreme cases a district may receive, for one time only, not more than two hundred dollars, whether or not any tax has been levied, and provided, further, that State aid may be con- tinued if the district shall levy and collect a fifty-cent tax. Subjects Taught. — The subjects taught in the school must be those required by law to be taught in the public schools of Texas; provided, that the sub- jects of manual training and domestic economy may be taught in schools receiving State aid. DISTRIBUTION In compliance with the law governing the distribution of the one million dollar appropriation for country schools for the past two years, proper forms and blanks were prepared and supplied by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to county superintendents and school trustees who desired to apply for State aid for their schools. More than eighteen liundred applications for State aid for country schools have been received for the scholastic year 1916-17, and each application has been given careful individual consideration by the State Department of Education. Before making a recommendation to the State Board of Education concerning an application for State aid, the State Superintendent has required the rural school supervisors to con- duct a personal investigation as to the needs and possibilities of the school, and has satisfied himself fully that State aid was needed and would be a wise investment for the State. During the past year, fourteen hundred sixty-two country schools, situated in one hiindred eighty-one counties, have been beneficiaries of State aid. The average amount of aid granted to each school was — 9— slightly in excess of three hundred forty dollars, and to each county, appreximately, twenty-seven hundred dollars. It has ever been the aim of the State Department of Education to administer this appropriation in such a way as to accomplish the great- est good, and, in order to secure the greatest benefits to the schools, the rural school supervisors have been kept constantly in the field among the country schools, informing the people as to the intention of the law and the purpose of the appropriation, and assisting in every pos- sible way in the improvement of the rural schools of the State. The Thirty-fifth Legislature having appropriated the sum of two million dollars for the aid of country schools for the next two years, there will be available the sum of one million dollars for each of the scholastic years 1917-18 and 1918-19. All necessary forms and blanks to be used in the administration of this appropriation have been pre- pared by the State Department of Education, as required, by law, and will be furnished in due time to county superintendents for the use of school trustees who may desire to apply for State aid for their schools. The State Department of Education is under many obligations to the county superintendents and other school officers for their assist- ance so willingly given and for their courtesies so generously shown in the distribution of this fund. The duty of administering the appro- priation during the past two years has been an arduous task indeed, but the joy in the anticipation of the benefits to accrue to the country schools as a result of the proper management of this fund has far out- weighed all of the undesirable features connected with the undertaking. The work ahead looms large, but the experience of the past two years, together with the knowledge that the results have been acceptable to the people, makes the duty one to be undertaken with eager anticipation. The State Department of Education has formulated large and well-laid plans for the work of the coming year, and with the hearty sympathy and active support of the people, it hopes and expects to see marvelous results come from the distribution of the two million dollar appro- priation. RESULTS The beneficial results from the distribution of the appropriation of one million dollars made by the Thirty-fourth Legislature for the pur- pose of aiding the country schools of the State during the past two years are so numerous and so varied that it would be very diffix^ult to enumerate all of them. The people have been aroused, as never before, to the need of improving their schools. School sites have been beau- tified, many new school buildings have been erected and scores of old ones have been remodeled in accordance with the requirements of the law as to correct lighting, and proper heating and ventilation. Thousands of dollars raised by local taxation and from other local sources have been wisely expended to provide better school facilities, such as furniture, libraries, maps, globes, charts, and other equipment so essential for effi- —10— cient school work. The weaker schools have been enabled to lengthen the terms, pay better salaries, and secure stronger teachers. Under the stimulating influence of State aid, the people are manifest- ing a liberality toward the support of their schools almost beyond the expectation of the most sanguine; and, it is indeed gratifying to observe that this spirit of generosity toward the schools is State-wide in its extent. While State aid has exerted a most wholesome and lasting effect in improving the schools in a visible way, the largest and most permanent result, perhaps, is to be found in the fact that the country school is being standardized, and established in the confidence of the people as an essential factor in the proper economic development of the State. The policy of the State in offering financial assistance to country schools as an incentive to encourage the people to provide better edu- cational accommodations for their children seems to have met with popular favor, and the plan provided for the administration of such assistance seems to be in full accord with the people's wishes. That this is true is evidenced by the willingness and readiness with which the Thirty-fifth Legislature appropriated double the amount provided by its predecessor, to be used for a similar purpose and to be admin- istered practically in the same manner. OUTLOOK While the results from the distribution of the one million dollars during the past two years are most encouraging, the prospect is exceed- ingly bright for even greater progress during the next two years, with twice the amount to be apportioned among the country schools to aid in their improvement. The appropriation by the Thirty-fourth Legis- lature has proved, beyond any question, one of the wisest investments of public revenue that the State has ever made. The increased interest on every hand for better schools, and the remarkable improvement of the schools of the country districts is sufficient testimony that the people have approved most heartily this effort on the part of the State to improve the common schools. A more favorable sentiment for liberal support of the schools has been developed. There seems to be a general awakening to the fact that the State, and the nation, too, must make liberal provision for the support of popular education if the race is to preserve its identity and maintain its prestige in the great work of the world. Eeports coming to the State Department of Education daily from school officials and other citizens from every part of the State indicate that, in the face of increased cost of building material and equipment, as well as of all the necessities of life, there will be no halting in this general movement to improve the schools. Numerous requests come from all sections of the United States for information concerning our efforts to improve the country schools. The eyes of the other States are upon Texas, especially, in an educational sense. It is a matter of —11— comment among informed people throughout the nation that Texas is making unusual advancement in the development of an efficient system of public free schools. Let the good work continue. Let us strive dili- gently to leave to the succeeding generation, as a legacy, a system of public schools to which our children can refer with pride, and for which they will honor and revere our memories. Let us provide, as a firm foundation in our educational scheme, a system of common schools commensurate with the needs and possibilities of the children so that every child can be given the proper training to qualify him for the duties and demands of full and efficient citizenship. It is the aim of the State Department of Education to continue to wage a vigorous and diligent campaign for better schools throughout the metes and bounds of the State, and to administer State aid for country schools from the appropriation made by the Thirty-fifth Legis- lature so that every section of the commonwealth shall feel the uplift- ing effect of its influence. The cordial support and active co-operation of all the people is earnestly solicited in this great and laudable under- taking of providing for Texas an adequate system of public education. —12- EEPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF STATE AID FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS Statistical table showing school districts, with not more than 20O scholastic population, arranged by counties alphabetically, to which State aid was granted for the scholastic year 1916-17.

For the purpose of promoting the country public school interest of the State and of aiding the people in providing adequate school facilities for the education of their children, *$1000, or such part thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the State Treasury not otherwise appropriated for the school year ending August 31, 1918, and $1,000,000, or such part thereof as may be necessary, for the year ending August 31, 1919, to be used in accordance with the provisions of this Act in maintaining country schools. State aid under the provisions of this Act will he distributed in such a way as to assist all schools that comply with the required conditions to maintain a minimum term of six months and a maximum term of nine months each year. The appropriation is provided primarily to aid the weaker rural districts which are not able to maintain suitable schools upon their own available resources. Before any school will be granted State aid its application must show that the available school funds are inadequate to provide suitable schools for the district, that the citizens have exhausted every legitimate means at their disposal to pro- vide sufficient funds, and that the trustees will, if aid is extended, use the money in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of the law. DISTRIBUTION OF AID Section 2. The State Board of Education is hereby authorized and directed to supplement the State apportionment to any district coming- within the provisions of this Act with any amount not more than $500 in any one year, the amount to be determined by the Board upon the merits and needs of the school. All applications for State aid under this Act shall be made upon the form prescribed by the State Board of Education and furnished by the State Department of Education. Before any application is presented to the State Board of Education for its consideration, the State Super- intendent shall make careful investigation regarding its completeness, and his certificate that each district applying for State aid meets sub- stantially the requirements of the law shall be required by the Board before aid in any amount is granted. According to the provisions of this Act funds received in the form of State aid must be used for the same purposes and in the same manner as is legally pro- vided for the expenditure of the State and county apportionments. The State Superintendent is required to make a careful investigation o'f each school applying for State aid before making a recommendation as to its merits *By an act of the First Called Session of the Thirty-fifth Legislature an addi- tional amount of $999,000 was appropriated for tne aid of country schools for the scholastic year ending August 31, 1918, making the total amount available for said year $1,000,000. and needs. This will be done by means of a formal blank to be used by schools applying for State aid, through correspondence, and by personal visitation by the State Superintendent or his representative. STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS Section 3. Any school district meeting the following standards shall be entitled to receive State aid: (1) Location. Each such school receiving aid shall be well located on a plot of groimd not less than one acre in extent, properly drained and suitably laid out. The school site should be as near the center of population of the district as practicable. It should be accessible and within easy reach of a public highway. It should also be located so as to conserve the health of the school children. A school site should contain not less than one acre of ground, and as much more as the resources of the district will admit. Large, well-laid-out play-grounds and school gardens will add to the effectiveness of the school plant. A school garden is not a prerequisite to receiving aid under this Act. (2) Schoolhoiise. There shall be provided a suitable schoolhouse, erected in accordance with the schoolhouse building law of Texas, or meeting substantially the requirements thereof. A school house to meet substantially the requirements of the State school house building law must be properly lighted, ventilated and heated. To be properly lighted a school room must have at least one-sixth as much clear window surface as there is floor space. The main light should be admitted into the room so as to fall upon the pupils' left when seated at their desks. The top of the window openings should extend within six inches of the ceiling and the window sills to a point not lower than three and one-half feet from the floor. To be properly heated and ventilated, a school building should be furnished with an approved system of heating and ventilation. The law requires that heaters be jacketed, and provided with a fresh air intake and foul air vent, so that each pupil in the average school room will be provided with at least thirty cubic feet of warm fresh air per minute. The building law further requires that all doors shall open outwardly; that floors be oiled ; that school buildings two or more stories in height be provided with at least two widely separated stairways; and that all inside finishing be without such unnecessary flutings and carvings as catch dust and microbes. (3) Equipment. Each school shall be provided with necessary desks, seatS; and l)lackboards; and with such library, books, maps and globes as recommended in the State course of study, as in the opinion of. the State Superintendent such school may be able to purchase. A systematic effort will be made to assist all country schools entitled to receive aid under this appropriation, and it should be expressly understood" that the function of the State Department of Education in this respect is to help schools to meet the seven standards and requirements in so far as it is possible to help local boards. The fact that a school can not as it stands meet the standards and requirements is no reason why such school should remain dis- qualified. From a careful reading of the opening sentence of Section 3 it will be noted that any school meeting the following standards shall be entitled to receive State aid. Therefore, the door is not closed to any school but is open to all who will endeavor (of their own accord) to meet the standards as pre- scribed by law. In submitting its application for State aid, a school should furnish full in- formation as to its equipment. If it does not meet fully all the requirements —35— as to equipment tlio school trustees should make a definite statement of what mill be done to meet tlie reqniromont^ of the law in case State aid is oxtonded. (4) Teachers. Teacliers employed in country schools shall furnish to the State Superintendent satisfactory evidence of professional train- ing to their t-redit. and all teachers must render efficient service of a high grade. In Selecting teachers, scliool hoards should consider, among other tilings, the following qualifications: 1. Academic training. 2. Professional training. .3. Character. 4. Experience. 5. Grade of certificate held. .State aid will not be given a second time if it be found that the teachers em- ployed are not rendering service of a high grade. (5) Attendance. In order to receive State aid, the school district must not have a scholastic enrollment of more than 300 pupils, exclu- sive of transfers, and the attendance record of all such districts for the previous year must not be less than fifty per cent of the entire time that the school was in session; and said district must maintain an attendance record during the year in which it receives such aid of at least seventy-five per cent unless it can be shown to the satisfaction of the State Board of Education that the non-attendance is due to one or more of the following causes: (1) attendance elsewhere; (2) com- pletion of the course; (3) extreme poverty of the family; (4) physical or mental incapacity; (5) lack of transportation facilities beyond a two and one-half mile limit; and provided that no school receiving aid under the provisions of this Act shall be located in a town or city having more than one tliousand population according to the last Fed- eral census. To receive aid under tlie provisions of tliis Act, a district must not have a scholastic population of more than 300, white and colored. This limitation ap- plies to the entire district, both white and colored, and not to the individual schools in a district. The percentage of attendance is determined by dividing the average daily attendance for tlie entire term by the number of scholastics enumerated in the district with the above exemptions deducted. (6) Local Tax. The school district must have levied and be col- lecting a local school tax of not less than fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valuation ; and tbat in no case shall the assessed valuation be less than the valuation of the county assessor, as a requirement before the district can derive benefits from this fund; provided, that for the school year 1917-1918 any district which having voted the required tax, whether being collected for that year or not, shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this x\ct; provided, that the State Board of Education shall, when it is necessary to extend the term of school, for one time only, apportion any amount not to exceed $200, whether any tax has been levied or not, and State aid may be continued upon condition that the district levy and collect the required local tax. —36— The fifty cents local school tax may be all for maintenance, or it may be part for maintenance and part for interest and sinking fund purposes. After the school year 1917-18, State aid for the second time will not be given a school that does not levy and collect fifty cents on the $100 valuation for school pur- poses. A school receiving State aid in any sum will be required to comply fully with the seven standards except as otherwise provided in the foregoing section. (7) Subjects. Each coiintry school shall teach the common school subjects as prescribed by law. Instruction may be given in manual training and domestic economy. Such instruction is not prerequisite to receiving State aid. It is not necessary to have an agricultural garden or farm or to have a teacher who devotes all of his time to agriculture. Agriculture, however, is required to be taught in all the public schools of Texas except in independent school districts having 300 or more scho- lastics. See Section 90, School Laws of 1915. GENEEAL POWERS OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Section 4. The State Board of Education shall be authorized and it shall be their duty to make such rules and regulations, not incon- sistent with the terms of this Act^ as in its opinion may be necessary to carry out the provisions and intention of this Act. DUTIES OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Section 5. It shall be the duty of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to go in person or to send one of the rural school super- visors authorized by this Act to assist the school communities who may desire the privileges of this Act in their efforts to meet the necessary requirements in order that they may participate in the distribution of the funds herein appropriated. Before approving any application he shall make a thorough investigation in person or through his repre- sentative of the grounds, buildings, equipment and possibilities of each school applying for State aid by appropriation from the State Board of Education. This section requires the State Superintendent to make a thorough investiga- tion in person or through his representative of each school applying for State aid under the provisions of this Act. The representatives of the' State Depart- ment of Education will visit schools with a view to rendering helpful service to school boards in order that adequate facilities may be provided for the education! of children in country districts. SECOND AID Section 6. Before State aid shall be granted a second time to the same district, it shall be necessary that all reports required of the school officials of said district shall have been received and approved; that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction or one of the rural school supervisors shall have visited said district and the State Super- intendent of Public Instruction has advised the State Board of Edu- cation that in his judgment the school officials of such district have made diligent efforts to meet the requirements and standards as set —37— forth in this Act, that the district receiving State aid lias made satis- factory progress under existing conditions, and that, in his opinion, further aid would prove a good and desirable investment for the State in promoting the educational interests of the people of such district, provided, that no school shall be granted State aid a second time until all applications on file for first aid from schools entitled to aid under tliis Act shall have been acted upon. State aid under the provisions of this Act will not be extended a second time to a district that is not levying and collecting a local school tax of fifty cents on the $100 valuation. Before aid is extended a second time all reports of the school for the previous year required by law and by the State and county super- intendents must be made and approved. The school must also show that satis- factory progress has been made and that additional aid is both necessary and advisable. WARRANTS AND REPORTS Section 7. Warrants for all money granted under the provisions of this Act shall be transmitted by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to treasurers or depositories of school districts to which State aid is granted in the same manner as warrants for State appor- tionment are now transmitted, and it shall be the duty of all treasurers or depositories to make annually itemized reports under oath to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction of the expenditure of all money granted under the provisions of this Act. Warrants for all money granted under the provisions of this Act will be -sent to the depositories of the schools receiving aid and not to the local school boards. The depositories of schools receiving State aid will be required to submit each year a sworn, itemized statement of the expenditure of all money granted under the provisions of this Act, and all vouchers drawn against this fund should be marked accordingly. APPORTIONMENT PRIVILEGES Section 8. Country schools shall be entitled to share in the dis- tribution of State and county available school funds, and in all other school funds in the same manner as other school districts; and in case high school grades are maintained the community school shall be en- titled to participate in the distribution of any State aid that may be extended by the Legislature of Texas for vocational or industrial pur- poses to high schools of the State, though it accept the provisions of this Act. The fact that a school district receives aid under this Act will not necessarily debar it from receiving aid for establishing, equipping and maintaining depart- ments of agriculture, manual training, and domestic economy. -SB- MINIMUM EEQUIEEMENTS A school to be eligible to receive aid under the law providing State aid for country schools must comply Math the following minimum re- quirements : SITE 1. The school building must be well located on a plat of ground not less tlian one acre in extent (a five-acre tract is to be preferred). 2. The premises must be clean and well kept, and the planting of shade trees should be encouraged. 3. The water must be pure, sufficient, and furnished the pupils in a convenient and sanitary manner. BUILDINGS 1. The buildings must be in good repair, and the rooms must be kept clean, comfortable and attractive. 2. There must be as many separate class rooms as there are teachers. 3. The amount of clear lighting surface for each class room must be equal to at least one-sixth of the floor area, and the light must be admitted from the left or left and rear, onh', of the pupils as they are seated at their desks.. 4. Every window for the admission of light must be provided with a shade of suitable light color. 5. Each class room must be provided with a modern heating and ventilating system properly installed in compliance with the State schoolhouse building law. In selecting heaters, observe the following measurements as to class rooms and diameter of fire-pot at stove door: Eooms of 6000 cubic feet, or less, require not less than 16-inch fire-pot; rooms of 6000 to 8000 cubic feet, not less than 18-inch fire-pot; rooms of 8000 to 13,000 cubic feet, not less than 20-inch fire-pot; rooms of more than 12,000 cubic feet not less than 22-inch fire-pot, provided that for schools south of an east-west line through Austin the diameter of the fire-pot may be two inches less in each case, respectively, and provided that no stove should have a fire-pot less than 16 inclies in diameter, 6. There must be two separate fly-proof toilets. They must be kept clean, sanitary and attractive, and shielded by neatly-constructed blinds." EQUIPMENT 1. Each room must be provided with a standard sanitary teacher^s desk costing approximately $12, and a teacher's chair costing approxi- mately $3. 2. Each room must be provided with a sufficient number of patent desks (single desks preferred), well screwed together, properly arranged to accommodate the pupils, and screwed down in a neat and orderly —39— manner. If desks are soiled, defaced or broken, they should be thor- oughly cleansed, planed, revarnished, and repaired. 3. Each room must be provided Avith at least 30 lineal feet of first class blackboard (hyloplate or better grade), not less than three feet wide, framed with neat mouldings and provided with chalk rail.

For pupils of high school grade, a larger dictionary is necessary. The list of books on hand or selected must be submitted to the State Department of Education for final approval, and the title, the author, the publisher, and the cost or estimated value of each book must be given. Books on hand should be indicated as such, and listed separately from those to be purchased. Do not over- look this requirement in submitting lists of books.

If a school employs more than one teacher, the head teacher or principal must hold a first or higher grade certificate. SCHOLASTIC ENUMERATION- The total enumeration according to the latest census trustee's report must not be more than 300 pupils of scholastic age, exclusive of trans- fers, both white and colored, and the school must not be located in a town or city having more than 1000 population according to the latest Federal census. AVERAGE. ATTENDANCE 1. For schools that have not heretofore received State aid, the aver- age daily attendance for the scholastic year 1916-17 must not have been less than fifty per cent of the scholastic census enumeration for —40— that year, and not less than seventy-five per cent for the current year, with certain exceptions as provided by law. 2. For schools that have received State aid heretofore the average daily attendance for the scholastic years 1916-17 an^ 1917-18 must not be less than seventy-five per cent of the scholastic census enumeration for said years except as provided by law. LOCAL TAX The total school tax for all purposes must not be less than fifty cents on the $100 valuation. Districts collecting a local tax of fifty cents on the $100 valuation may not receive more than $500 in any one year. In extreme cases districts with a tax rate less than fifty cents may be granted State aid in an amount of not more than $200 for one time only, and State aid may be continued, provided that such districts levy and collect a fiftv-cent tax. —41— HOW TO MEET THE EEQUIREMENTS FOR STATE AID FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS SITE In a great many instances very little consideration has been given to the matter of selecting suitable sites for school buildings, especially in country districts. Oftentimes the land chosen for a school building site is regarded as being worthless for any other purpose, and it is cer- tainly very undesirable for the location of a school plant, where the children of the community will be required to spend a large portion of the growing period of their lives. To be eligible to receive State aid the site must contain at least one acre of land. Four or five acres should be provided. The site must be suitably laid out and properly drained. The most attractive site obtainable should be selected, giving due consideration, of course, to the convenience and accessibility of the population to be served by the school, and to the future development of the district. The site should be on or conveniently near a public highway and as near the geograph- ical center of the territory to be served as practicable. The land selected for the site should slope gradually from the school building and not be marred by ditches or ravines. The soil should be fertile and well suited to the growing of trees, shrubbery, and flowers, and well adapted for school gardens and demonstration plats for classes in agriculture. The foregoing is given as a standard for a school building site, and all schools applying for State aid should proceed at once to bring their sites up to this standard. BUILDINGS Booms. — There must be as many separate class rooms as there are teachers in the school. All partitions for the separation of class rooms should be substantially made and should extend to full height of the walls of the rooms so as to make each class room separate from every other class room. Cloth curtains or other improvised and temporary partitions are not satisfactory and will not be accepted. Adjustable partitions of the accordeon-door or rising-door type seem to be very satisfactory and will be acceptable if properly installed so as to insure their safe and successful operation. The proper size for a class room for the accommodation of 40 to 45 pupils is 24 feet by 32 feet, with wall not less than 12^ feet inside. The width of the room should not be greater than twice the distance from the floor to the top of the openings of the main light windows. In the erection of new buildings or in the remodeling of old ones, these dimensions should be . approximated as nearly as practicable. The buildings must be in good repair. The rooms must be kept clean comfortable, and attractive. The floors should be oiled occasionally with some preparation to prevent the accumulation of dust, and swept —43— daily ;, preferably in the afternoon after the dismissal of the school. If the inside walls are not clean and sanitary, they should be scoured with soap and hot water. If the ceiling is soiled with lamp smoke it should be cleaned, and repainted if necessary. Many rooms which are used for meeting places for various kinds of assemblies become very unsani- tary^, and often unsightly. The walls should be adorned with at least two pictures of recognized artistic value, in neat frames with glass cover. Orderly arrangement of the furnishings will add very much to the attractiveness of the room. Painting and Tinting. — Nothing adds quite so much to the decora- tion of the school plant as to have the school building and all outhouses painted according to some pleasing and attractive color scheme, with due consideration given to the manner in which the paint is applied. The inside of the building should be done in three-color effect and the outside in two-color effect. In this discussion lower wall means from floor line to wainscot height, about 3-|- feet to, or slightly above, window sill; upper wall means from wainscot height to overhead ceil- ing or, if drop-ceiling, to picture mould. The division between the lower and the upper walls should be made by using a plain sanitary moulding to be considered a part of the wall below it. The following color combinations have been used in many schools and are beautiful: For inside: Combination Lower Wall Upper Wall Ceiling No. 1 Forest green Sage Pearl gray No. 2 Light brown Buff Cream No. 3 Golden brown Tan Buff No. 4 French gray Silver gray Pearl gray For outside : Combination Body Trimming Boof No. 1 Steel gray White or brown or lead Black or dark green No. 2 Straw Dark brown Dark brown No. 3 Silver gray Stone Dark green No. 4 Slate Pearl gray Black White is not a desirable color for outside work except as trimming, for the reason that it reflects the light too strongly, and soon appears soiled and dingy. There are several good reasons why no school room should ever be papered, especially the two following: (1) It is unhealthful, because the rough surface of the paper catches dust and germs easily and cannot be cleaned; (3) it is expensive, because if the rooms are kept attractive they must be repapered every two or three years. Lighting. — The amount of clear lighting surface for each class room must not be less than one-sixth of the floor area; one-flfth would be better. For example, if the floor is 24 feet by 32 feet, its area would be 768 square feet. The amount of clear glass window surface for such a room would have to be 128 square feet. A simple calculation —43— will enable any one lo easily determine the amount of window space necessary to properly light a class room. The light to the class rooms must be admitted from the left, or the left and rear, only, of the pupils as they are seated at their desks. It is essential that all light to class rooms be admitted through closely grouped windows with as little inter- vening space between them as the safety of the building will permit. It is preferable that all light be admitted from the left and it should always be so. if at all practicable. However, in the remodeling of old buildings it is sometimes necessar\- to admit some light from the rear, and when this must be done, there should be a sufficient number of additional ivindows in the rear to secure the required amount of light. Windows on the left for the admission of light should extend to within six inches of the ceiling, and not nearer than three and one-half feet to the floor line. Windows in the rear for the admission of light should extend within six inches of the ceiling and not nearer than seven feet of the floor. All windows should be double-hung so that either sash may be adjnsted for ventilation in warm weather. Class rooms should also be provided with other windows for purposes of ven- tilation. Such windoM's may be placed on the side opposite the light- ing windows or in either end of the room. However, they should be placed high in the walls above the blackboard space and covered with substantially-made fixed wooden louvres or stationary latticed blinds to admit the air but exclude the direct rays of light. These lonvres con- sist of strong wooden frames fitted with | by 2-inch wood slats put in the frames at an angle of 45 degrees, and should be fastened inside the window frame, on the outside of the window, with long screws. The amount of clear lighting surface for library rooms and work rooms should be the same as for class rooms, and for cloak rooms it should not be less than one-tenth of the floor area. Emphasis is placed on the phrase, ''clear lighting surface" in the min- imum requirements for State aid. This means that no window panes in lighting windows should be painted or stained in any manner, and if they have been so treated, the paint or stain should be removed so as to leave the glass perfectly clear. Most paints can be easily removed by the application of boiling vinegar. As a matter of fact it is necessary to protect the eyes of the pnpils from the glaring light, but this should be done by the use of adjustable translucent shades of suitable color to harmonize with the interior of the room. Heating and Ventilation. — Each class room must be provided with a mbdern heating and ventilating system properly installed in compli- ance with the Texas State schoolhouse building law. No system will be accepted which does not provide for fresh air to be brought into the room through the wall above the floor line and warmed before being distributed over the room, and for foul air to be removed through an opening in the main flue. Any system to be acceptable must insure an even temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit in all parts of the room in the coldest weather without too hot a fire, and must furnish at least 30 cubic feet of fi'csh air per minute for each pupil in the room. In providing for the installation of modem ventilating heaters ob- serve the following measurements: Cubic contents of room 8000 cu. ft. 8000 or 12,000 or or less 12,000 cu. ft. 16,000 cu. ft. requires not less than inches inches inches I, When foul air and smoke are jremoved through the same flue : 1. Flue (inside) 13x16 16x16 20x20 2. Foul air vent 12x16 16x16 20x20 3. Fresh air vent 12x16 16x16 20x20 II. When foul air and smoke are *xemoved through separate flues in ■same ehimnej^ : 1. Smoke flue (inside) 9x12 12x12 16x16 2. Foul air vent and flue 12x16 16x16 16x20 3. Fresh air intake 12x16 16x16 16x20 A properly constructed flue is an important factor in providing a ■successful system of heating and ventilation. A flue properly con- structed of brick and large enough to contain a fire-clay tile, terra cotta, or lieavy-gauge iron pipe slightly larger than the smoke pipe to carry off the smoke, and leaving sufficient space in the flue for carrying out the foul air seems to be the most satisfactory. The pipe for the removal of the smoke may extend from the bottom of the flue or from a brace ■or support eighteen inches below the smoke hole to slightly above the top of the flue. At some point below the smoke hole in this pipe there should be a clean-out hole for the removal of any soot or ashes which may accumulate. Under no circumstances should the flue fail to extend above the highest point in the roof of the building. For specific direc- tions for building a flue see Bulletin 65, page 31, issued by the State Department of Education. In purchasing ventilating heaters the directions given in the Mini- mum Eequirements on page — of this bulletin should be carefully ob- served. It is an easy matter to make an accurate calculation as to the cubic contents of the room for which a heater is desired. For instance, if a room is 24x32 feet, with wall 12^ feet, the cubic contents is 9600 cubic feet. Such a room will require a flue 16x16 inches, inside, and a ventilating heater having a fire-pot of 20-inch diameter. There are several different heating and ventilating systems on the market, but only those which have been approved by the State Depart- ment of Education as meeting the requirements of the Texas State schoolhouse building law, and listed in this bulletin will be accepted for schools receiving State aid. Several systems have been approved by the Department as complying with the requirements of the law, if properly installed. It should be well understood that the approval of any system is in no sense an endorsement as to material, mechanical workmanship, or durability. It simply means that the system, if projh —45— erhj installed, will iiiei't the requirements of the State schoolhouse build- ing law. Of the systems approved by the State Department of Education, some are doubtless superior to other?. Trustees and county superintendents must decide for themselves as to the merits or demerits of any system, and purchase the one that, in their opinion, will give the best service. It is advisable for school officials to investigate the several systems listed before purchasing, in order to be certain that they are getting the best value for the expenditure. Tn quite a number of counties in the State a co-operative plan of purchasing school equipment has been adopted Avith considerable profit to the schools. Under such a plan, when sev- eral heating and ventilating systems, as well as other equipment and supplies, are to be purchased for the schools of the county, the trustees of flic interested schools and the county superintendent of the county call a meeting for that purpose. Concerns selling such equipment and su])plies are requested to send representatives to exhibit their goods at the meeting and submit prices for the current scholastic year. This plan seems quite })racticable, and ought to make it possible for trustees to have a more intelligent understanding of what the schools really need, and to enable them to obtain the best prices and terms on the equipment and supjiliesAvhich they desire to purchase. Water Supply. — There must be an abundant supply of pure drink- ing water on, or conveniently near, the school grounds, and water must be furnished to tlie pupils in a convenient and sanitary manner by means of drinking fountains, sanitary water cans, or other devices which will preclude tlie possibility of contamination from any source. Well 01- spring water A\ill l)e accepted if known to be free from harm- ful mineral ])roperties, and if the spring or well is so situated and covered as to be safe against pollution of any kind. Cistern water is satisfactory if carried from roofs in screened gutters, and filtered through charcoal or fine gravel and coarse sand. A cement-lined underground cistern i- ])referable to one above ground for evident reasons. Cisterns should b(> (if sufficient capacity to furnish an ample supply of pure water for the entire year. Water from stock tanks, ponds, creeks, and other unprotected sources is exceedingly dangerous for drinking pur- poses and will not be accepted. The use of the old-fashioned germ-laden bucket and rope should be discontinued. The school Avell or cistern should be provided with a sanitary pump. Tf the funds of the district will permit, it is advis- able to install a force pump Avith compressed-air chamber, or with ele- vated reservoir, and sanitary bubbling drinking fountain combined. The ordinary water Inicket and common drinking cup should not be allowed to remain in the school under any consideration whatever. Where water pressure is available sanitary drinking fountains may be installed at reasonal)le cost. Where Avater pressure cannot be had, sani- tary water cans or barrels, fitted Avith several large automatic faucets and mounted on substantial stands, may be provided at convenient places on the school grounds. If such cans oi- barrels are used, they should be frequently cleaned and kept in a sanitary condition. There are other methods which will be satisfactory and acceptable, provided the water is furnished in a convenient and sanitary manner. Toilets. The problem of providing sanitary toilets in rural districts has been a perplexing one. Even under the most favorable conditions the ordinary toilet as found in country school communities is a menace to health and also to morals. The toilet may be the source of disease, not only among the children attending the school but among the people of the entire community as well, unless every precaution is observed, by frequent disinfection, to prevent pollution of the water supply. The most satisfactory method of dealing with this problem without a sewerage system is the installation of one of the three following sys- tems: (1) The concrete-receptacle sanitary privy, recommended by the IT. S. Public Health Service; (2) the chemical tank system; (3) the septic tank system. All these systems are approved and recommended by the Texas State Board of Health. For further information con- cerning these systems, and for details as to their installation, see Bulle- tin 65, pages 40-46, issued by the State Department of Education. Other sanitary toilet systems which have already been installed and are giving satisfaction will be acceptable. EQUIPMENT Furniture. — In selecting furniture for a school building, the same careful attention should he given the matter as in selecting furnishings for a home. All furniture should be of good hardwood quality and of a color to harmonize with the color of the interior of the rooms. Each class room mvst be provided with a standard sanitary teacher's desk and teacher's chair, a well-made and attractive book-ease for the books of the librar}'-, a sufficient number of modern patent desks (single desks preferred) of proper sizes and properly arranged to accommodate all the pupils in the room. Pupils' desks should be arranged in neat rows, with interior aisles of uniform width. All desks of a row should be of the same size, that is, ISTo. 1 size in a row, No. 2 size in a row, etc. All pupils' desks must be well screwed together, and securely screwed to the floor or to |x2^-inch beveled boards in a neat and orderly manner, using as many screws to a desk as there are places for them. For each desk ]7 or- 18 screws will be required, 9 or 10 screws to fasten the wood parts to the castings, and 8 screws to fasten the desk down prop- erly. All screws should be run up full with a large strong screwdriver and should not be driven at all. If desks are soiled, defaced or broken, they should be thoroughly cleansed, planed, revarnished, and repaired. It is not economy to cast away good furniture because it appears soiled or slightly scarred. Old furniture can be renewed by having it worked over by a competent per- son so that it will look almost as good as new. In selecting varnish stain for use on old furniture choose such colors as will harmonize with — or- ally new furniture already on hand and with the color of the interior of the room. Blackboards. — Blackboards should be provided in every available space in the class room. There must be at least thirty lineal feet not less than 3 feet wide for each class room. Genuine slate is the best board for schools able to purchase it. Composition wood pulp prepared especially for blackboard seems to give satisfaction, and of this kind of material, hyloplate and beaver blackboard have been approved and will be acceptable. Slated cloth, paper, painted boards, or painted walls are not satisfactory and will not be accepted. For the different departments of the school the blackboard? should be placed at the following heights above the floor : primary department, 26 inches; intermediate, 30 inches; high school, 34 inches. Maps. — Each school must have a set of at least eight standard geo- graphical maps, including maps of the United States and of Texas. Maps of the grade of W. & A. K. Johnston's Unrivalled Series, or better, are recommended. If maps are to be used in more than one room of the school, each map should be mounted in a separate steel or wood case, so that it may be easily carried from room to room when needed. Globe. — Each school must be supplied with a standard meridian glolio not less than twelve inches in diameter. If a globe is furnishecl for each room, the suspension type is preferable; but if several rooms are to use the same globe, the stand globe will be more satisfactory. Larger globes are advised for schools able to purchase them. Charts. — Each school must be supplied with a standard physiological and hygienic chart on a stand. It is advisable that the sheets in this chart be cloth-backed. Historical and agricultural charts are recom- mended for schools financially able to buy them. Trustees are cau- tioned against purchasing charts of any kind at exorbitant prices. Library. — Every school should have a library of carefully selected books, well suited to the various grades of the school. Schools receiv- ing State aid must have well adapted libraries on the basis of at least twenty-five dollars worth of books per teacher in the school. In select- ing books for the library, every department in the school ought to have careful consideration, and the books should be properly distributed among the various grades. In purcliasing a library the mistake of buying too many books of the same title, or in sets, should not be made. No sets should be provided for any grade above the fourth in any school. In no instance should the number of books in a set be greater than one-half the number of pupils in the grade. In elementary schools it is not advisable to purchase large diction- aries or expensive reference works. A dictionary of the grade of Web- ster's Secondary School dictionary, listed on page 61 of this bulletin, will be found quite sufficient for such schools, and some of the smaller and less expensive encyclopedias are better adapted for all practical purposes. —48— Library books must be selected from the list approved by the State Department of Education, and published on pages 51 to 61 of this bul- letin. Before purchasing a library for a school, applying for State aid, those having the matter in charge should send to the State Department of Education a list of the books proposed to be purchased and a sep- arate list of those already on hand, indicating the title, the author, the publisher, the price or estimated value of each book, and the grade pro- posed for its use. Such list will receive prompt attention and will be returned with the approval of the Department or Avith such criticisms and instructions as may seem advisable. When the list is finally ap- proved, the books should be purchased and delivered to the school. In order that the books may be protected and preserved, a substantial book-case or a small room with lock and key should be provided. Some efficient system should be adopted by the teacher to encourage the proper use of books, and to keep track of them so they will not be lost or destroyed. Tf it should be unsafe to leave the books at the school build- ing during the vacation period, they should be left at the home or office of some responsible person, and returned to the school at the opening of the next school session. TEACHERS The teacher is, unquestionably, the mo.st important factor in the suc- cess of the school, and for this reason State aid for country schools is made contingent upon the qualification of the teacher and the char- acter of service rendered by him in behalf of the school. The duty of selecting competent teachers is the greatest responsibility which devolves upon trustees and county superintendents. Trustees should never employ a teacher until they have carefully considered the matter in a meeting of the board, in the light of all the information they are able to secure as to the applicant's qualification and fitness for their school. The law makes the county superintendent a party to the contract between the teacher and the trustees, and it is his duty to exercise due diligence in approving such contract to the end that the best interests of the school children of the county may be served. There should exist the most cordial feeling and hearty co-operation among the trustees, teachers, and county superintendent in the administration of the school affairs of the county. Each should most courteouslv respect the authority of the others. If this condition prevails among the school officials of the county, there will be little occasion for misunderstand- ings, and the success of the schools will be assured. In the selection of teachers, trustees and county superintendents should consider especially, among other things, the following essential qualifications: (1) Adequate academic and professional training; (2) good character; (3) successful experience, and (4) grade of certificate held. ' , It is earnesty lioped that trustees who contemplate applying for State aid for their schools will exercise the greatest diligence to secure com- petent teachers because one of tlie most important purposes of State —49— aid for country scliools i.'^ to pi'ovide schools which may serve as stand- ards to which all schools should be raised. Close attention will be given during the year by the State Department of Education to the character of work that is being performed by the teachers in schools receiving State aid, and such teachers will be expected to render a service of high grade. State aid will be based on the actual needs of the schools, and with so large a number of competent teachers avail- able to enable trustees to pay adequate salaries for the employment of qualified teachers, there is no valid reason why any school which de- sires State aid should employ an inefficient teacher. The payment of salaries commensurate with the qualifications necessary for the high character of service which will be expected in schools receiving State aid will be looked en with favor by the State Superintendent in making recommendations to the State Board of Education concerning schools that make application for State aid. To be eligible to receive State aid, a school nuiM employ a sufficient number of well-trained teachers to do acceptal)le work. If a school employs more than one teacher, the head teacher or principal must hold a first or higher grade certificate. All teachers employed in schools making application for State aid must furnish to the State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction satisfactory evidence of professional tiaining or successful experience, and if it be found tb;i+ the teachers employed in a school receiving State aid are not rendering a service of hiizh grade. State aid for such school will not be recommended a second time SCHOLASTIC ENUMERATION- According to the law, a school is not eligible to receive aid from the appropriation for country schools if the school district has a scholastic enumeration of more than 300 pupils, both white and colored, exclusive of transfers, according to the latest a])proved census rolls of the dis- trict; or if located in a town or city having more than 1000 popula- tion according to the latest Federal census. AVERAGE ATTENDANCE One of the most important aims of the law providing State aid for countrv schools is to stimidate the attendance upon the school. Hence, the requirement is made of schools applying for State aid that in order to be eligible to receive such aid, the average daily attendance of pupils in the district must have been at least fifty ])er cent of the entire scholastic enumeration for the previous year, and not less than seventy- five per cent during the year that State aid is received, "unless it can be shown 1o the satisfaction of the State Board of Education that the non-attendance is due to one or more of the following causes: (1) attendance elsewhere; (2) completion of the course; (3) extreme pov- ertv; (4) physical or mental incapacity: (5) lack of transportation facilities bevond a two and one-half-mile limit." —SO- LOCAL SCHOOL TAX As stated in the law, the purpose of the appropriation for country schools is to promote the interests of the rural schools of the State by supplementing the funds of the weaker country schools received from the usual sources, and thus to enable them to provide better educational advantages for the children who depend upon such schools for their scholastic training. . In distributing this appropriation among the rural schools of the State, it is the policy of the State to he^lp those who are willing to help themselves. No district, therefore, is eligible to receive aid under this law unless it levies and collects for all purposes, both for bonds and maintenance, a local school tax of the rate of fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valuation of taxable property in the district, except as hereinafter stated; provided, that the valuation for school purposes shall not be less than that fixed for State and county purposes. Such districts as levy a fifty-cent rate, and meet all the other standards and requirements, may receive any sum not to exceed five hundred dollars in any one year, and are given preference in the law. In extreme cases districts with a local school tax rate of less than fifty cents on the one hundred dollars of assessed property valuation may receive any sum not to exceed two hundred dollars for one time only, and State aid may be continued if the district will increase the local school tax rate to fifty cents on the one hundred dollars valuation, and levy and collect such rate the ensuing year. The State Department of Education desires that every child in Texas shall enjoy the fullest possible educational opportunity, and that the rural schools shall be well organized, equipped, and administered for the benefit of the country children. There are a great many ex- cellent rural schools in Texas, and the citizens who have made these schools possible are to be commended for their good Judgment and foresight and should be encouraged to continue such effort. However, it is sorely regrettable that there are so many rural schools in the State which, for various reasons, do not come up to the standard as they should. It is the purpose of the State Department of Education to assist all these schools in every way possible, and it stands ready and eager to lend every means at its command to encourage and promote the countrv school interests of the State. -51- GRADED LIST OF LIBRARY BOOKS FOR SUPPLEMENTARY READING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS The numerals in parenthesis refer to grades for which books are especially adapted.
