Rural School Need a Shown by Profeaaor A feeling of cultural inferiority persisted in persons trained in rural Schools despite greater,* though latent, educational possibilities In rural districts, Prof. Orville G. Brim of Ohio State university told Missouri county Superintendents, meeting in the annual Sessions of the Missouri State School Administrative association. "Rural life has definite limitations of which the schoQl must take particular note," he said. "While ease and range of travel have Improved and increased, variety, freedom and Intimacy of social contacts have not kept ]pace. Intellectual contacts with the outside world Suffers. "Local cultural resources are limited; music, art, books, etc., are far too meager. Consequently a feeling of inferiority remains. "To meet this situation the school must enlarge its capacity to serve." City Zoning Indoraed Within the last year the legal position of zoning has been strengthened by the decisions of the United States Supreme court in four cases, in which the use, height, and area of building are regulated, Nation's Business Magazine reports. New York city in 1016 enacted a comprehensive zoning law. However, Boston regulated the height of building as early as 1904, while Los Angeles adopted the use of zoning regulations in 1909. Forty-six states and the District of Columbia have laws which permit municipalities to zone themselves. Of the forty-six states twenty-eight have adopted all or a large part of "A Standard State Zoning Enabling Act" which was issued in 1924 by the advisory committee on zoning of the Department of Commerce. Among the large cities that have zoning acts are New York, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. Million* for Parka More than a billion dollars have been spent In the United States to acquire and equip municipal parks and one hundred million are spent annually to maintain them, according to a two-year study of city parks and forests recently completed by the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Nearly 250,000 acres of parks and forests are reported by 1,681 municipalities, the study shows. iPractically all cities in excess of 20,000 population have parks. But millions of persons in small towns have access to neither parks nor playgrounds, and other millions in cities are Inadequately provided with these places for relaxation and recreation, the report says.
