same time village schools and rural consolidated schools, the farm boy or girl is at a real disadvantage. The village school, like the oity school, finds it necessary ^,to provide something for the children to do after* school and in the evening. This is necessary because many city children have no work to do at home and they can find little to take up their afterschool hours that is either useful or instructive. Often both parents are employed outside the Tiome and the chidten have no supervision unless the school provides it. So the school offers a broad program of afterschool and evening activity and much of the social ife of the school centers around this* activity. The child in such a school who must miss these activities often feels that he does not quite belong, and I think this is why Bill is unhappy in the new school. Yet the farm boy or girl is needed at home after school and there is much for him to do that is both educational to him and useful to his parents.
