II feeds the constitution with genuine, per.

Consolidating School Districts

EDITOR DEMOCRAT.
AS l have had somsthing to say
through the press in regard to the con-
sol,dation OF the smaller school districts
into Ia ger ones. wish 10 call the at
ten.ion oi the public to the report OF the
National Educational Association which
in part is as follows:
"joncious OF the many difficulties that
hampered the effectiveness of the ruial
school the National Educational Asso-
ciaticn at its session in 1895 appointed
a CO: mittee of twelve to take up the
problem of the rural school.
The members of the committee were
some ol our most experienced and pro-
gressive teachers and after two years CT
study and investigation they made their
report to the meeting of the Association
at Milwaukee in July last, and this
report was considered the most import
AIT pedagogical document that has ap-
pearad since the famous report of the
committee of ten on Secondary I.duca
tion several years ago. The report dis.
cusses the central school problem in re.
spect to school maintainance, surervis-
ion, supply of teachers. instruction and
discipline. Each of these subjects was
/ in charge OF sub-committee oil three,
their work being reviewed bv the entire
committee. All of the sub comTittee:
favor The consolidation OF schools which

time of one teacher into larger schools

The committee recommends eol,ectius

1t is interesting to others than statist-
icians to know that the hairs OF our head
are numbered Certain scientific men
have laboriously calculated the number
of hairs on square inch of heads Of
different colors. and by estimating the
total area covered have arrived at sg-
gregate numbers, which may be taken
as fairly correct. To chow the well-in-
tended aecurasy OF these calculations. q
head OF fair hair consists OF lab 900
hairs. dark hair coarser. and only
totals IO5, 900; while these who boast
a poll of red hair have to bs content
with total 29, 200. 1t is estimated
that the hairs on "fair head" would
support the weight of five hundred
people.
