On a careful examination of' the education law we find the word rural is-there" used-once-and-only-once-ahd-that it is -the caption of-Article. 6-b which makes possible the organization of ^cenbral rural schools. Underithis law tiiere has been organized one school, namely, that at Youngsville, Sullivan county. There is one other secondary _^school in the_ stete.Hhat bears the name rural—the" Chazy Cen­tral -Rural School, ajthough it is not o^WMd^uliidel'-THl central rural schboUlaw. These two schools are the phly^,schb.plsTln-'the': ^ t k t ^ ^ i i V j ^ ^ under"" the law be designated as1 rural high schools.

Apparently^the'legal authority re­lied upon to sustain this classification is _sectiop 318 of the Education Law Which provides that the territory out­side, of, the cities .and school districts of 4,500 or more population which employ a superintendent of schools, shall be organized and divided into supervisory districts, each such dis­trict being under the supervision of a district superintendent. • The director of the survey in a signed article published in the March number of the Educational Review, says:. "Under the present law all schools in places of less than 1,500 population are designated as rural schools and come under the supervi­sion ,of the rural school superinten­dent"." A careful reading of the law fails to find any such designation. Moreover, there is no such officer in the school system of the .State as a rOrarschool superintendent. The term used in the law is district superirt-tendent, no rural school superintend­ent, and the district superintendent undoubtedly has supervision of all the schools within his district, whether they be rural schools or non-rural schools. This section of the law is absolutely silent as to any classification of high schools The reasoning that would lbad to. the conclusion that a high school is rural because it is a sup­ervisory district which includes

having superintenderits are rUrllv schools, and the schools in the smaller towns belong to the other class. *

How very easy, it is to generalize i if one is not hampered by a knowledge of too many facts. :. * v

The classification adopted; is wftk-out-precedenti-Tn-the ^reports- of - the — -* Bureau of Education at Washington there is a classification of high schools a§ rural and urban which is stated to be absolutely arbitrary, the' basis be* ing 2,500 inhabitants instead of 4,50*). The same rule iB followed in the*JJ. & Census report.

schools that are in fact undoubtedly rural would lead to the conclusion that horses are cows if they are pas­tured in the same field with cows and under supervision of the same hired

communication was addressed to Out head "of}theTjeducatioir de^ar^jent ; i » 2 i each- state' in the Union, asking s p e ^ — cifically if any such classification ex- • ists, what are the conditions char­acterizing or defining the rural higk schools, what are the special features regarding courses of study, currica-* lum, etc. At the time of writing this - — -paper, replies. have been receive* from 34 states. It is reported t h a t i a no one of the 34 is there any law classifying high schools as rural-and urban, and no department regulation in this matter except in one case. •

Supt-Thomas of the State of Maine, reports "In the classification of our. schools into rural and urban we have no statutory classification. The clas­sification is wholly arbitrary and bas­ed upon intimate knowledge of~local conditions. There are some 600.-or 700 purely manufacturing communities i* this state. They are urban in every sense of the word. They have electric lights,:sidewalks and moving pictures to take their time when they are out ofthe factories and mills." —• Here then is a classification. Towns having electric Hghts, sidewalks and moving pictures are urban. I should not object to applying the same test to the high schools in New York State. Certainly communities without these three necessities of modern life are somewhat rural. I have not tried to find whether "there would be any rural high schools in the State if tested by this* classification.

I have shown that there is no legal sanction and no precedent - for the classification of high schools adopted in this report and there is nothing by the report to ehow that there;is any rational basis for such classification^. There is nothing to show':%hy,algebr»i and geometry, physics ahd chemistry,

There is one law on the statute books that lfas a bearing on this classification of high schools.- It is
