The authority for that challenging statement is Dr. Frank W. Cyr of Teachers College, Columbia University and it is significant that this outspoken demand that laymen be given a major place in. fashioning rural school policies emanates from thé field of educationn iself. Dr. Cyr, addressing a conference in ‘New York stressed that the chief job of the public school must be to “train citizens and build communities.” : “The greatest single step toward this end,”” he declared, “would be to restore the layman, the rural] citizen to. the leading place in-determining school policies which he once held. This cannot be done in the _ local community alone. “The direction.which education takes is largely determined outside the local community. Teachers are trained, textbooks are written, educational laws are made and national politics worktd out, all on a state, regional or nation ‘wide basis. Usually these matters are largely decided by professional educators. They should be decided by laymen, with 'the held and advice of educators. “We must find some way f { ,2asis. and in each region and state, panion, Henry Wimberly, 32, of Loa .

The eminent authority on education and teacher training continued: “The flood of modern machines released in the next few years when industry directs itself to peace time work can be used to build the finest kind of community life the world thas yet seen. Or it can just as definitely destroy rural communities as the ‘weapong of warfare are now doing. “Our citizens must be trained to direct the use of the machine. One third of the fertility of our American farms would not have’heen destroyed if the public schools had begun fifty years ago to effectively educate our citizens in conservation. *“The school must be organized to work effectively in small communities and use special methods such as circuit teachers, supervised correspondence study, pupil transportation and mobile units which carry librarand machine There can be no doubt of the wisdom of Dr. Cyr’s suggestions that laymen should he given a greater hand in the determination of school policies, particularly in rural areas; and probably in cities as well.
