81 wish we could get the Hack
system of centralizing our district
schools in this country" said a promi-
nent citizen this week. 1t is fact
that Wisconsin has been somewhat
backward in adapting this system
when compared with Michigan and
Indiana. The plan of having but one
school in each township has been found
entirely successful in every place
where fair trial has been made.
The trouble seems to be here in Wis
consin to get the farmers to vote in
favor of this method of country
school. The first effort to institute
this plan was in 1880 and at the pre-
sent time there are but ten township
schools known as the Hack system in
the state, but where ever this system
has been tired it has not been aband-
oned. 1t furnishes much better
advantages to the young people liz the
country than the former method and
it has been proved in many cases to be
cheaper in the long run. It seems te
us that the centralized rural school,
will do more to put the country boy
on an equal with the city boy thar
/ any other one thing.
