have answered said, There has been

Among the advantages to be deriv
I'D from consolidation of schools In
my locality are the following:
1. There will result the inspiration
and interest that always comes from
numbers. A school of eight or ten pu'
,ils will not stimulate boy or girl
to do the best.
2. Stronger classes will thus be
'ormed, giving the teacher more time
or Rotations and for necessary in
struction.
8. There will be better trained
teachers for the country children.
4. There will result greater econ
omy in school buildings and equip
nent. 1t will cost less to keep one
central building than several scatter
I'd school houses. The cost OF on
Inc modern central school house Is
less than that of half dozen ordinary
country school houses.

were unanimously adopted:
Believing that education is not

ljbert es, bat the firmest foundation
for material prosperity and the only
means by which our nation may hold
It's place among the world nations for
material prosper ty and the only
means by which our nation may hold
its place in the steady march of
progress, we declare our faith in the
common schools ana pledges our as
sistance in the work Of their i'm
provement, especially agreeing and
uniting upon the following lines of
effort.
l. For the purpose of removing
schools from the sphere of partisan
pc tiles, we favor the submission Of
of constitutional amendment, striking
out the names of the state and
county super ntendents of schools
from the LIST of elective officers.
2. We favor the creation of a
school commission by legislative en-
actment, with an appropriation of at
least 100000 for the purpose of
studying the school conditions and
problems o. oar state, for investigat-
ing the ways in which some OF our
older states have met and solved
similar problems, and OF recomm md

The enlargement of the units of

cur ng for rural schools, especially,

qu'rament, and more effective graded

4. The establishment, in those

We venture you'd be interested, even

"Price" originally meant not money, not CASH

Cost" comes from the old Icelander word
"Koster," signifying to Choose, to Test, to
Prove
So price" is really the Worth of the thing sold.
Cost" means how we'll the thing bought proves
