The splendid results arising from
the joint improvement of the puhIic
roads and the consolidation of the
schools is marked in some of the Mid
die States. The thing is to get good
roads, and then the consolidation of
the schools is an easy matter. 1t will
be splendid day when the farmers
boy may attend home academy, that
IS, an academy in fact. This is easily
possible by consolidating adjacent
schools. When the time comes that
the pupils can get to the school, if it
does happen to be little distance
away, then it will be possible to build
a few fine school houses in the place
OF many common ones, and it will
be possible to hire the best teachers
instead Of novices who are teaching
simply to raise money to finish some
procession, wherein they may make
more money than the school room af-
lords, and it will be feasible to add
the higher branches and have them
taught by experts. Mr.. Farmer, the
thing that you need worse than any.
thlng else is the good road. The way
TO get this is by building them, and
IN the meantime keep the split log
drag a,going.
