Consolidation of Schools

There is a general agreement among school authorities that the first thing to be done in i'm. proving the rural schools is to reduce the number of small dis tricts, to make the township the smallest unit of school manage ment, and as far as possible to consolidate the country schools, where the average attendance falls below twenty. This car ries with it the proposition to provide free transportation for pupils whenever they live be- yond a reasonable walking dis tance from the schools. The movement for the consolidation of small schools has been in progress long enough in other states to have demonstrated that when properly managed it will produce excellent results. It is the most important movement affecting the rural schools today. The arguments in favor of con- solidation 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 pupils.
 ?. 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 introduction of agricultural instruction.
 4. It leads the way to more weeks of schooling and a higher grade of instruction.
 5. It insures the employment and retention of better teachers.
 6. It adds the stimulating in- fiuence of large classes, with the resulting enthusiasm and rival ".
 '. It results in better atten- dance of pupils.
 8. It leads to better school buildings, better equipment, a larger supply of books, charts, maps and apparatus. The lar ger 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 in the schools.
 10. In regions where the pop ulation is scattered it affords young children, and especially girls, desirable protection on their way to and from school.

HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG

The Day of Old Men was hurried
to its close by the unnatural break
ing OF the Day CT Young Men. and
now that the day OF young men cruel
~ forged is ended, now that most of
our Young NapolCons Of Finance"

OIL industry" arc once more WORKING
Tor living, there has dawned the
day OF the Middle-Agcd. We shall
protest against it. The census will
show some of us declaring that we
are no older than we were Il decade
ago; but we all know in our hearts
that these last ten years have aged
our bodies full score.
Is this fatality Of middle ago in
cNitablC? !, for one, agree with
the morning star OF patent medicine
advertising: "Thurc is hope" The
bones may harden and the muscles
soften; the hair may whiten sooner:
but the conditions that affect these
mere habilimcnts need in no wise
harm the spirit that those habiliments
entold. Better than in any time pre-
cedlng, in this time Of the railway
and the telegraph OF newspapers and
magazines legion, Of libraries of
Andrew Carnegie, may We keep the
mind young. Emerson, declaring
| That the surest poison is timc," was
Il slave TO the tradition that the
worthwhile pleasures of youth pass
cd away when youth passed. In his
better moments no man saw moro
clearly that what was worth while
might be retained. But what NAV
be retained is Of the mind only. Few
things are more grotesque or pitia-
bic than the man who clings 90
! desperately to the youth Of his body.
1t is, then, the youth Of the mind
that we can retain with dignity and
may temper with experience. Apollo
is never old, and all men have in
them enough Of Apollo to be worth
