Excerpt from The Country School: A Study of Its Foundations, Relations, Developments, Activities, and Possibilities There are few modern educational discussions that have reached such proportions and have de veloped such a diversity of conclusions as have those that have attempted the problems of the country school. College education is simple com pared to the education that deals With the instruc tion and the training of the masses. To secure the solution of college problems the best-trained minds of the generation have given time, thought, and investigation. As a result, definite organiza tion has been secured, notable standardization has resulted, and the profession of educators has been recognized. In this field are found the higher salaries, the greater emoluments, and the most attractive distinctions. Whenever men conclude to make education a career they naturally prepare for some specific department of higher education, as they readily conclude that there is enough of sacrifice, of lack of recognition, and of limited ser vice in this more honored and better esteemed field of public activity.
