TOWNSHIP SC I0OL UNIT
CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS AND FREE TRANSPORTA-
 TION OF PUPILS.

(Year Book U. S. Department of Agriculture. Sent out by Committee of School Patrons.)
 There is a general agreement among school authorities that the first thing to be done in improving the rural schools is to reduce the number of small districts, to make the township the smallest unit of school manage ment, and as far as possible to consil- idate the country school, wherever the average attendance falls below twen- ty. This carries with it the proposi- tion to provide free transportation for pupils whenever they live beyond a reasonable walking distance from the schools. The movement for the con- solidation of small schools has been in progress long enough in other states to have demonstrated that when prop erly managed it will produce excellent results. It is the most important movement affecting the rural schools today. The arguments in favor of consolidation of schools and free transportation of pupils have been summed up as follows:
 1. It permits a better grading of the schools and classification of pu- pills
 2. It lowers the per capita cost of education.
 3. It affords an opportunity for thorough work in special branches, and gives a chance for the introduc- tion of agricultural instruction.
 1. It leads the way to more weeks of schooling and higher grade of in- struction.
 5. It insures the employment and retention of better teachers.
 6. It adds the stimulating influ- ence of large classes, with the re- sulting enthusiasm and rivalry.
 T. It results in better attendance of pupils.
 8. It leads to better school build ings, better equipment, a larger sup ply of books, charts, maps and ap- paratus. The larger expenditure for these better things is wise economy the cost per pupil is much less than the cost in small, widely separated schools.
 9. It quickens public interest 1T the schools.
 ! 1Q. In regions where the pcpula tion is scattered it affords young chil dren, and especially girls, desirable protection on their way to and iron school.

ADVERTISING PAYS
FAMOUS ROYCROFTER TELLS WHAT TT IS AND WHAT
 TT DOES.

"Advertising is the education of the public, as to who you are, and what you have to offer in the way of skill, talent or commodity" says Ebert Hubbard in the June "Philistine." The importance of the new science of ad- vertising has never been more thor oughly emphasized than by Fra FL bertus in the current number of this little magazine. He says in part:
 "Let the truth be known about your business.
 "The only man who should not ad- vertise is the one who has nothing to offer in the way of service, or one who can not make good.
 "All such should seek the friendly shelter of oblivion, where dwell those who, shrouded in Stygian shades, fore gather gloom, and are out of the game.
 Not to advertise is to be nominated for membership in the Down-and- Out Club"

Not all barrels are made of wood there are barrels made of metal A steel barrel that comes from Germany, used in the importation of aniline dye in powder form, is made with a flat band of the metal, perhaps eight inches in width, around the middle, at the bulge of the barrel, while the two ends of the barrel, tapering from the middle section to the heads, in the ordinary barrel fashion, are made of corrugated steel with the corrugations running lengthwise.
 The dyestuff is heavy, 600 nr FOG pounds to the barrel; but the steel barrel remains rigid and carries its heavy load securely without racking or twisting.
