RURAL CONSOLIDATION
SCHOOL BILL PASSES
If Finally Enacted, 1t Will
Revolutionize the System
in Delaware
speeial 10 the Evening Journal

Dover, March AFTER a vigorous de-
bate the House yesterday passed the ru-
raj consolidation bill which may revolu-
tionizez the public schools Of Delaware.
The bill provides that four or five dis
tricts contiguous to each other shall con-
solidate and that a modern, well-venti-
lated, lighted and heated building Of
more than one story fitted up with
modern plumbing shall be constructed,
taking the place of the scattering frame
structures of the present day. These
schools shall be equipped with all the
graded departments Of a city school,
from primary to high, and the teachers
therein shall hold daily cabinet meet
ings for interchange Of governmental
ideas.
All the children resident in the districts
so combined shall be conveyed TO the
schools in all weather in covered and
comfortable omnibuses by a responsible
firm Of corporation which shall contract
for that purpose.
In Nova Scotia and other countries,
and even in Australia where this plan
has been adopted the school attendance
has increased seventy per cent. Pupils
are not obliged TO leave their farm
homes but are educated for the country
life to which they are born, and there is
obtained a far higher degree Of profici-
ency and equipment.
