The Consolidated School House and
Good Roads.

0UV0 ENON0Ss
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Every fair-minded man desires to
give to his children and the children
of his neighbors better advantages
than he himself enjoyed. And
wherever good roads make it possible,
it is entirely feasible now to substi-
tute for the little schoolhouse of one
room and one teacher a consolidated
schoolhouse with half a dozen rooms
and half a dozen teachers. The
schooIhouse of one room and one
teacher was good, and we are here
in bodily presence to testify to that
good; but the consolidated school
house of half a dozen rooms and half
a dozen teachers is vastly superior,
and we want to secure that for our
children and the children of our
neighbors.
It doesn't cost as much to build a
schooIhouse of half a dozen rooms
as it does to build six schoolhouses
of n room. Six teachers working
together can do vastly better work
for the children than n single
teacher, teaching everything from
the cradle to the voting age. The
salaries of the teachers in the con-
solidated schoolhouses of half a
dozen rooms are no higher than they
are in the single schoolhouses with
a single room.
How are the children brought to
this consolidated schoolhouse? They
are carried in wagonettes, that in
cold climates are heated by a stove,
and amply provided with laprobes to
keep the children warm. There is
no fear of lack of ventilation, be-
cause every wagonette in the world
is amply ventilated. The wagonettes
take all the children within a radius
of nine to ten miles every day to the
schoolhouse, and take them home
again.
Instead of having twenty, thirty,
or forty children of different ages
in one school, so that the community
spirit is an impossibility among
them because of the diversity of age
and because of the difference in at
tainments, hundreds of children can
gather into this consolidated school
house, and class spirit, community
spirit, thrives and good teaching
abounds.
But what could you do with the
consolidated schoolhouse in this
State2 In counties like Mecklen-
burg, Wake, Guilford, Forsyth,
Durham and a few others where
there are several miles of madamized
roads, this system would work well
but in a great majority of coun-
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-09-08

ties, the wagonettes could not get
two hundred yards down the road.
It takes a t~wo-footed beast, called
a child, and a very active one at that,
to get over the roads at all to any
school in most of our North Caro-
lima counties during the winter sea-
son.
Let us go step further. The day is
coming, surely, when not only will
we have the consolidated school
house, but also the principal of the
school and his wife will in the school
building, or in one closely. The
library and reading room of the
school will be the library and read
ing-room of the neighborhood. And
I know country people too we'll not
to know that many of them are hun
cry for good literature and cannot
get it.
This consolidated schoolhouse will
be a lyceum where people will gath
er. There will be lectures, there will
be even some "1oafng" around the
consolidate schoolhouse. Men will
not go to the country store to swap
lies, will not go to the barroom-
that is, not all the time; they will
sometimes come to the schoolhouse,
to the reading room, the talking
room and the lecture room.
But when will we in North Caro-
lima have consolidated schoolhouses
Not until we have good roads. They
talk about free textbooks! l am
nfavor of free textbooks, but I tell
you here and stake my professional
reputation on the statement, that
free textbooks are a trife compared
with good roads and the consolidated
schoolhouse.
So that, we cannot separate these
twin-sisters of civilization; cannot
conceive of one without the ether.
Educate the people and they will
build good roads; build good roads
and the people will educate them
selves. The two propositions are
therefore merged into the n ques-
ton, Education and Good Roads"

naval and military services. Yet there
is no discomfort in the Russian army and
navy, however much there may be among
some grades of Russian civilians.
Russian officers enter the service for
career. never for a livelihood. Any man
with social ambitions In Russia must be-
come an officer of either the army or
navy, unless he be a person of transcend
ant ability. No father would think OF
entering his son in the cadet school unless
he could give him suitable income with
which to maintain his rank.
In the British navy and other fleets the
officers of the higher ranks receive liberal
allowances from the Government to de-
fray the expenses of the frequent enter
tainments given when in port or when
forgathered with the warships of other
countries. There are no such allowances
in the Russian service. The officers have
to pay every cent out of their own pockets
and yet nowhere is hospitality more mag
nificently dispensed than on a Russian

TO RESTORE MONUMENT

In the meanwhile proposals are heard
for a restoration of the monument, which
are likely to give rise to much discussion.
The existing fragments have passed into
many hands, but they might perhaps be
re-collected.
1t is certain. however, that the Ara
Pacis can never be restored in stu. owing
to the change in the level of the Campus
Iartius.
The excavations have disclosed the re-
variable fact that at a comparatively
early date the Ara Pacis was already
some feet below the surrounding surface.
It was inelosed by 4 brick wall. while a
fight Of steps led down to the entrance
Of the precinct.
The brickwork has been stated with a
fair degree of probability to be of the
early Third Century A D.-a fact which
contains a problem difficult of solution.
While 1t is to be regretted that these in
teresting excavations. which the director
and other managers of the British School
in Rome were enabled to visit by the
kindness of Cavalier Pacqui. will be mac
cessible to visitors to Rome during the ap-
preaching winter. the reasons mentioned
above render II inevitable that work
should be suspended until the spring, and
the remains Of the Ara Pacis must, there
fore. for the present remain under water.

LOST In BROOKLYN.

But One Language.

home to India with strange tales in his
head is Abdul Khadir. lion hunter and
elephant trainer who achieved local
fame by losing himself in Brooklyn.
Dressed in Oriental robes, Abdul came
ashore from the British ship 1ndramaya
from Singapore to Brooklyn, to buy
package of cigarettes. The British cap
tain advised him to take little money
with him Abdul had, in spirit of ad-
venture, shipped on the Indramaya- He
obeyed the captain and, lacking money,
nearly died in Brooklyn streets.
He lost his bearings, and persons could
not understand him. During four days
he starved and slept in parks On Aug
ust he emerged from little park ad-
Joining the Kings County court house.
He was exhausted. He fell to the pave
ment and mumbled to passers-by. IN
despair he kowtowed to a passing auto
mobile. The occupants took him in the
automobile to the department of chart
ties There he collapsed. An ambulance
surgeon said he was suffering from star
walton He was fed and removed to the
Home for Aged Men, where Abdul re-
fused to associate with the inmates.
For DAYS he was taken about the city
trying to find a person who could 1dentl-
fy or talk to him. In this way the
strange party met an officer OF the Brit
ish ship Indrode, who knew Abdul Kha-
dir in Singapore. They talked, and Abb
dul's story was made known. While
Abdul was wandering his ship had
