In several of the States a tremen
dous effort is being made to improve

done through the cooperative efforts
of the state Boards of EducatioG, the
State Boards of Health. and the

which absolutely forbid the erection

believe it to be one of the duties of
boards of education to see that the

dren and for the people Of the COM
munity. and encouraging the intro
duction of series OF lectures, which
are now confined almost entirely to
the cities and large towns.
The rural people need meeting places
for educational. economic and social
purposes. The consolidated school
provides proper centre for such
meetings; in other words, the deepest
meaning OF the consolidated school is
that it tends to socialize community
life; it tends to break up unsocial and
anti-social tendencies Its very erec-
ton is form of cooperation which
makes easier other cooperative eff
forts.
Must BE Profitable.
And 1t is proper to say here that
unless the consolidated school tends
to make the economic life of the COM
munity profitable, while 1t is raising
the intellectual and moral life, 1t is
failing to fulfil one of Its chiefest mis-
sions. Country life must be made
economically profitable. else the coun-
try districts WIFI be depopulated. 1t is
as much the duty of the educational
department as 1t is or the agriculture!
department of the State to help make
it economically profitable; and the
consolidated school is the best centre
from which to accomplish this vital
work.
But to make country life economi-
cally profitable and yet to permit 1t to
remain socially unattractive will not
stop the movement from the country
to the city. A consolidated school has
in 1T, as already indicated, the pos
sibility and the opportunity of max
Ing country life socially attractive,
and it is its duty to meet the issue.
This, then, is what we mean by a
consolidated school This is the ideal
to which we look, however far we
may be from 1t. The consolidated
school must be a centre from and
through which to disseminate the best
methods of home making and home
