mlssive legislation making II possible
for a majority Of the legal voters of
any section OF the country to petition
for the enlarged system of schools
which is giving so much satisfaction
In Ohio and Iowa. When three or
more school districts have been con
solidated. the law provides that a
union school be established for the
accommodation Of all children in the
district consolidated The directors
or the board of education furnish free
conveyances for the pupils to and
from school. provided a proposition
to do this has been submitted to the
voters at a regular school election
and receive majority of all the votes
cast ,
The benefits of this consolidated
system have been no cd too often in
our columns TO need repetition. In
country districts not thickly popu.
lated this is especially valuable. as II
makes II possible to provide compe.
tent teachers and In a measure estab.
llsh graded school. The children
are taken to and from school In a
covered wagon. being thus protected
from storms. IL Is thus possible for
a child in the country 10 go TO school

carefully and gives this bill iH un.
qualified Endorsement. The sentiment
Of the country people demands H. as
has been shown by articles which
have appeared In many local papers
