rather than to county lines, 20 that
big and graded schools may be built
where instruction is in every way

Colorado, in possession otherwise
of the best school system In the Unit

in respect to the country school.
This is not blamable to anyone. or
10 lack OF system. in the opinion Of
the grange, but merely because the
agricultural districts are new. the
creation OF the last decade. and the
people have not yet had time to get
together on this important matter.
1t is the practice in Ohio and other
eastern states to make a township
or even two into a district, to build
the school at the point most easily
reached from every direction, and
since the population of a township Is
generally considerable II II possible
to put up building with eight or q
dozen rooms where there are teach
ers for every grade separately. II
has been found cheaper to do this
and yet pay salaries as high as in
the cities. The district maintains

contain seventeen Of the most hand
