OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
(A Panoramic View of the Schools of Dade County as They Are Today.) (By E. H. Carender, County Superintendent.)
In this chapter we shall discuss the conditions of the schools of Dade county under three divisions, viz .: The Teaching Force, The Buildings and Equipment and The Community Spirit:
The Teaching Force .- During the year 1915-16 there were employed in all of the schools of the county 117 teachers, 32 of whom were male, and 85 female. Of this number 74 were teaching in one-room country schools, eight in two-room country schools; 21 were grade teach- ers in town, or village schools and 14 were teachers in high schools.
Certification .- Twenty-five of the teachers of this county during the year just past hold state certificates; nine, life; one 5-year; ten high school teachers training certificates; four normal rural; and one special. Fifteen hold certificates granted by the normal schools, nine of which are diplomas of life tenure, and six elementary. Seventy-seven are county certificates classified as follows: first grade, eleven; second grade, thirty-one; third grade, thirty-three; special, two.
Training .- All have had some normal, or high school, training. Eleven have had only one year of high school training, twenty-four have had two years, eleven have had three years, and sixty-five have had a full four-year high school course. Seventy-nine have had eight weeks, or more, of normal school training, preparatory for teaching, twenty-three of whom have had two years, or more, of such training.
Experience .- Twenty-four teachers began the year without any previous experience, while forty had five, or more years experience.
270
HISTORY OF DADE COUNTY AND HER PEOPLE
Salaries .- The lowest salary paid to country school teachers was $35 per month; the highest, $65; town grade teachers averaged a little more than $40; the highest annual salary paid in the county was $1350, for town school superintendency; the annual salary of 20 teachers was less than $300 each, while three received $1,000, or more. The average salary of teachers for the year was: Male, $62.40; female, $46.67; general average, $50.80.
There are some things that should be recorded about the present corps of Dade county teachers that statistics do not reach. They are as a class very progressive. Almost without exception the interest seems to be centered in improving the conditions. They solicit the criticism and co-operation of the superintendent, and they are con- stantly striving to reach the goal of the present standard school-the certificate of approval which is granted only to schools that attain an efficiency of 80% of the modern standard, which is based upon an adequate building with proper seating, heating, lighting, library, and other neces- sary equipment, and good professional standards, and community spirit. The general spirit of the teacher ap- pears to be not, "How can I manage to get 'by' the in- spection ?" but, "How high is it possible for me to raise the standard of my school?" Cases of non-co-operation are so rare as to be a negligible quantity.
Building and Equipment .- A very conservative esti- mate places the value of our schood sites and buildings at $113,000, with equipment valued at $25,000. In buildings recently erected, attention has been given to proper light- ing, heating and ventilating; the lighting being fluslı, on only one side, heating by jacketed stove, and ventila- tion by fresh air pipe and foul air outlet. The style of building has evolved from the uniform box-car type to the more artistic, home-like . structure, ordinarily with cloak rooms and neat porticos. The latest buildings ap- proaching the modern idea are those of Lotus, Union Chapel, Stockton, Meek, Liberty and Pleasant Valley. The best model in the county, considered from every stand- point, is the new high school building Consolidated Dis-
271
HISTORY OF DADE COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
trict, No. 1, at Arcola. This building very closely ap- proaches the ideal for a country school building. It is lighted by windows close together on the west side, seated with single desks, heated by basement furnace, ventilated by gravity draft pipes, has a beautiful frontage with halls and cloak-rooms, a work room, or laboratory, a stage and an assembly hall which is separated from the study hall by a rolling partition, making it easy to connect the two rooms for community meetings. Other districts, too num- erous to mention, have broken away from the old unitype schoolhouse in one or more essential points, and school- boards are getting the habit of investigating expert plans before remodelling or building.
Schools without good working libraries are becoming very scarce. Three-fourths of them report more than 100 board bound volumes each in their libraries. All have some sort of library, and practically all of the books are those recommended by the state superintendent for ref- erence, or for supplementary use in class work in the schools. The total number of volumes in the school libraries of the county is about 15,000 or an average of three to each child enumerated.
Seven districts have voted free textbooks. They are: Gentry, Rock Dale, Higgins, Pickett, Flint Hill, Bryant and Cedarville.
Practically all schools have an adequate supply of maps; most of them possess a globe, charts, and other minor equipment; many have an organ, a sand table, an elegant teacher's desk, and sanitary drinking fountains.
Community Spirit .- By community spirit we mean the active inclination of the people to establish social centers at home as will lead to a fully developed, well rounded citizenship-an educational center, if you please to call it such, that will furnish an elevated type of enter- tainment and instruction for old as well as young, making the school house, or the community church, the center of attraction for the whole people.
The two best types of such centers in Dade county are Consolidated Districts Nos. 1 and 2. In the former, the
272
HISTORY OF DADE COUNTY AND HER PEOPLE
activities thus far have been predominantly of an educa- tional nature. Last year a lecture course including some of the best talent that was on the circuit in Southwest Missouri, was supported by these progressive people. In addition, several home talent entertainments were given by Prof. Roy Evans' high school pupils, assisted by the grades. A Homemakers' Club and a poultry association rounded out the course for the housewives and the farmers. The spirit of loyalty, harmony and progress that is manifest in this community is undoubtedly not sur- passed by any other locality in the state of Missouri.
The organization for community work in Consolidated District No. 2, surrounding Dadeville, is apparently just beginning to be thoroughly effective. Prof. Homer Gar- land, principal of the high school, has enlisted the sup- port of the teachers and patrons in a Parent-Teacher As- sociation, which will meet at the different schoolhouses in the district-eight in number-for monthly sessions. One of the best meetings of this kind that I have ever attended in the county, was recently held at Dadeville. This com- munity also has a wide-awake Homemakers' Club, and the progressive farmers of Northeastern Dade county always take an active interest in agricultural meetings. Wonder- ful opportunities await them.
Dade county's community school fairs which have been held in most of the townships for the past few years, have attracted statewide attention, as have also her an- nual education exhibits and various intellectual contests. She has never refused to fall into line in progressive movements that tend toward the improvement of educa- tional conditions. Last year 500 of her boys and girls were enrolled in farm club work under the university extension service made possible by the passage of the Smith-Lever act by a recent congress.
Many other communities have made commendable progress in social center activities. Among them are: Blackberry Flat, a school taught for the past five years by Bert Shaffer, a model young man who grew up among the people he is serving, and who obtained his education
WILLIAM K. PYLE.
273
HISTORY OF DADE COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
in the country school at Davenport, Gloden City High School and Springfield Normal. The splendid citizens of this community wanted a really educational literary society. Mr. Shaffer was the logical leader, and with the co-operation of his people he has developed a weekly meeting of this kind that is a distinctive type-one founded upon lofty moral and educational principles; and it is needless to say that it is the center of attraction for miles around.
Crisp community has a Homemakers' Chib that has exercised much good influence upon the community life. A ladies' club at Rock Dale has been an educational factor in that locality. Several other communities have promoted and are now promoting effective organizations for general advancement.
The general school spirit throughout the county is very encouraging, although I would not be understood as representing it as ideal. We still have many poorly con- structed school buildings, poorly lighted and poorly heated. The source of water supply in too many instances is bad, grounds and outbuildings are not cared for in a large majority of the districts as they should be, and there are yet to be found in every district too large a percentage of patrons who give little attention to school progress, too many of whom are more interested in keeping the school tax rate down than they are in giving the children the best advantages of modern education. But compulsory education, though feebly enforced, is having a good effect; state aid for both rural and high school is lengthening the average school term and furnishing an incentive for more regular attendance and better school opportunities. Three schools of the county offer first class, four-year high school advantages, and three others offer approved work in a two-year high school course. Last year 347 students were enrolled in our high schools, not including many Dade county boys and girls who were enrolled in border high schools outside of Dade county and in other schools doing work of secondary rank. There were 63 high school grad-
274
HISTORY OF DADE COUNTY AND HER PEOPLE
uates this year. We also have an unprecedented number of students in the state university and in colleges.
The average length of the school term in the county is just 6.7 days short of eight months. Forty-two of our 72 districts had eight months or more of school last year.
Elementary agriculture is taught in each of the com- mon schools of the county, without a single exception, and an advanced course in the subject is offered in each high school. In practically every school the official state course of study is followed very closely.
The total expenses of conducting the schools of Dade county last year were $66,428.24. About $50,000 of this was paid for teachers' salaries, the remainder being spent for repairs, equipment, and the ordinary incidentals. The balance on hand in teachers' incidental and building funds, is $15,656.06. The permanent funds of the county now amount to a little more than $40,000, the interest from which is used for the maintenance of our schools. The average levy for all purposes last year was 73 cents on the one hundred dollars assessed valuation.
