Favors Consolidated Schools.

Sentiment In favor Of the wholesale
consolidation Of rural schools Is
spreading rapidly. II was the chief
topic discussed by the Kansas teach
ers at Topeka. 1t was shown that In
Ellsworth county where the system
has been adopted. the efficiency OF
the schools has been improved great.
~. One OF the strongest points In
favor of II Is that the per cent OF at.
tendance is larger than in the district
school. Whenever stormy day comes
the pupils stay away from the district
school. In a certain section where
there is consolidated school the
pupils are hauled to and from school
