J W Crabtree secretary of the National Education Association spoke at the fiftieth anniversary reunion of Fairview District School near Elmwood Nebraska on August 31. He noted the need for rural schools to provide equal educational opportunities as city schools. Crabtree had taught at the one room prairie school forty six years earlier.
The speaker asserts that universal education underpins democracy, tracing the government’s evolution from a common school aim to broader educational reach. He emphasizes that national development requires the intelligence of all people, not just a select few, highlighting citizen education as essential to progress.
Mr Crabtree urged equal educational privileges for all, not just leaders, highlighting urban rural gaps. He cited nine month schools in cities versus seven months rural, illiteracy and health defects higher in rural districts, and low high school participation among rural youth. He pushed funding, training, libraries, consolidation, and subsidies to restore farm leadership.
