The effort now being made to pro- vide children in rural districts with educational opportunities equal to those for city children is evidence that the American public i§ taking the slogan “Equal educational opk portunities for all children!” seriouss Iy. This is a promise of better things, since there are many ine- qualities that need removing besides those between city and country chil- dren. Oue of the greatest of these seems Inherent in the organization of & school system to a greater or less degree. The inequality in question is that| which exists between the high school and the elementary school. Tt fis usually the high school that citizens have in mind when they speak of the educational advantages which their city affords. Tt is the high school that is generally pointed out to wisi- tors. As proof of its excellence, their attention is called to its fine audi- torium, its laboratorfes and work- shops. and {ts gymnasium supple- |mented by a well-equipped atheltic field.
