The Kansas school Superintendent Would
Abolish Sparseiy Settled Districts.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 6.-An innova-
ton in the method of running coun-
try schools in western Kansas will be
advocated by Superintendent Stryker
in circular soon to be issued. lie
will recommend the wholesale abolish
ment of schools in the sparsely settled
districts of the west, and a system OF
collection AID delivery of pupils. He
saws that the cost of maintaining
schools in western Kansas is too heavy
for the good accomplished, and his
scheme, he says, will give the pupil a
better education at less cost to the
taxpayer. He says it will be tough on
school teachers, as many of them will
be thrown out of employment If his
suggestions are followed out, but that
he is looking after the interests OF the
pupils and not of the teachers. In
many districts in western Kansas,
Stryker states, there are only from
three to five pupils and the district
school officers levy tax to the limit
to educate these. The salaries of
teachers eat up the most of the funds
raised.
