er and dozen pupils will practically
disappear.
There are plenty of advantages for
the consolidated school. Under this
plan it is easier to provide good bull
dings. They are lighted. heated and
ventilated better. The cost of main
tenance is less. 1t costs less to heat
and repairs are less. The gross ex-
penditures for supplies, apparatus
and maintenance is smaller. Better
salaries can be paid. Teachers are
engaged for longer term, and being
paid larger salaries better equipped
teachers can be secured. Closer and
better supervision is made possible,
and the county superintendent, having
fewer schools TO visit can work much
more effectively There is sless poll
tics in school administration, and
fewer quarrels. There is longer
term of school, much more interest on
the part of the pupils, more enthus-
iasm in the work, more systematic
grading, better sanitary environment
more healthy social spirit in the
district, and. in short, more salts
factory general condition in connec-
tion with school administration.
Other states have made great sue
cess of the plan and there is no doubt
that South Dakota Will have an equal
ly satisfactory experience when the
plan is put into effect here. We be-
lieve the state superintendent is do
ing good work and that he is entitl
ed to the hearty support of the peo,
pie in the promotion of the principle
of school consolidation 1t is great
work and promises big results.-Ar-

is of l,400 pages, and deals with the
matter from the beginning. Among

brief is the report of the earnings OF
the company. The investment is

The Aberdeen Commercial Club
has adopted and sent to our congress
men resolutions asking that the 30
cent per bushel tariff on barley be re
tanned 1t is just such foolish work
as this that makes tariff revision al
most an impossibility. The proposed
new schedule provided duty of 10
cents on barley. The Is cent tariff
would give South Dakota cent
protection on barley after laying it
down in Chicago with freight and
selling commission paid. That ought
to be enough. As a matter of fact. no
tariff protection is needed a great deal
of the time as this country exports
barley in years of normal yield. The
prohibition movement has already
lessened the demand for mailing
barley, and is likely to reduce it still
further. The total yield is increasing
These conditions will make it more OF
a feed crop and no protection at all will
be needed in the not distant future
The fact that we are asking for duty
of 80 cents bushel will be used as
an argument in favor of retaining such
as tariffs on lumber and other articles
the northwestern states want admitted
free of duty.

and representative will not be able
to introduce nor vote on amendments
to the tariff bill, with very few ex-

will not be recorded as to various

ABOUT SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION

State Superintendent n. A Ustrud,
of the state department of education,
is doing good work in calling atten-
tion to the importance of the central
ization of the rural schools of the
state. He has spent the better part
of year in gathering the facts, and
these he has assembled in IA recently
issued pamphlet under the title Con
soldation of schools in South Dakota
The pamphlet is exceedingly interest
ing reading, and clearly points the
way to great Improvements in the
rural schools of the state at reduced
cost of administration.
The plan is to abolish the small
one teacher country school, which is
attended by only few pupils of all
ages and grades, and to centralize the
educational effort of the township in
graded school in each township, to
which the pupils are carried daily in
conveyances at public expense, and
where the enthusiasm of numbers, and
system, are such as to bring the re-
sui S. The plan has been worked out
successfully in many states, and SUI
perintendent Ustrud is on the right
track in seeking to have the system
established in South Dakota.
This plan originated in Ohio in 1892
and it has been fully developed in
that state. Ii was found in that state
/ that better rural schools could be
maintained at one central point in a
township, TO which the pupils were
Transported, at the general cost, where
grades were followed, and where sys
| tematic work was done in building
well equipped, and with the best Of
sanitary and educational environment
In such schools the attendance is
more regular, the school term is long
er, The cases of tardiness are fewer
and the general grade of work done
! is better In other words it is ques
tion of organization and of focuseins
things which means always the big
gest results from the least of expense
In Georgia, consolidation has beer
accomplished in sixty counties will
the best of results. In Iowa the plar
is being worked in one-half of tn,
counties of the state. Maine, Vernon
and Massachusetts, have the plan il
actual practice, while of course il
Ohio it has become universally popu
lar Indiana is fast taking the leat
in Capitalization. From 1904 to 1905
about 700 schools were abandoned
the number abandoned up to last yea
being 1914 There are now 4l8 con
solidated schools in that state, whicl
means that over 1900 rural pupil
are now being carried by wagons t.
the central schools at cost per wagol
per day of Sl.87. One-te teacher school
are fast disappearing in Indiana ant
in few years more the small isolate'
rural school with an underpaid teach

IT has been charged against Uncle

If we remember correctly, when the
anti-treating bill was introduced in
the Legislature it was stated that it
made it a misdemeanor for saloon
keeper to allow treating to liquor in
his place of business, and it is general
ly supposed that such is one of the
provisions of the law. Such is not
the case however. Judge E. F, Green
points out that the law prohibits one
from Offering treat to liquor, and
also prohibits the acceptance OF the
trea., but it does not imposea penalty
upon the saloon keeper for allowing
the treating to take place. Such an
omission makes the law a joke.
