HIGH SCHOOL ON BENCH
Consolidation of School Dis
tricts Urged.

The trend of the times is to
Capitalization. Along educational
lines this is especially true, and
in thickly settled communities
the country school is passing and
becoming a dear memory. Farm.
ers nowadays demand for their
children the same school ad-
vantages their city cousins enjoy,
and they are getting them. A
central school building. they con-
tend, is better and -lore economi-
cal than three or four or more
small schoolhoues scattered over
"a comparatively small territory.
and the scope OF the course of
study is enlarged to a point to
equal to that of the city high
school.
Such a school is being con-
sidered by the farmers on the
bench. At the present time three
school districts, each with one
teacher and having short terms.
comprise the educational advant-
ages of that growing section.
The consolidation of these dis
tricts into one and the erection
of large modern school build
ing in central location is being
agitated and is meeting with the
approval Of progressive bench farm
ers. One of the leaders in the
movement for better school facili-
ties is Irwin . Brown, who gives
his views in the following CON-
munication:
''At the present time the central
part of the Emmett bench is con-
sideriug building a schoolhouse.
Why is this not the best time to
consider a plan to consolidate all
of The bench schools into one
central high SCHOOL,
1.-The district school is becom-
ing a back number at the present
time. The consolidated schools
are proving a success in Michigan,
Minnesota. Iowa and many other
states. 1t should be our aim and
pride to make the Emmett bench
schools the equal of the citv
schools. If this plan meets the
of the adjoining school
districts, whynot call specialschool
and vote for consolidating
all into one central school district.
Good schools are a great induce.
ment to immigration.
we claim we have the best
water supply and why not have the
pest schools?"

leave you only the cherished memory Of the loved
and lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to
have laid so costly sacrifice upon the altar of
freedom.
Yours very sincerely and ndrespectfuly
