The facility with which, under the
Holmburg law, school districts may
now DO consolidated for the support Of
. graded school; the hberality Of the
state aid available; and the extreme
lishtness of the tax, for the support Of
the school, left to be paid by the prop
erty owners, should stimulate the in
habitants of every group of districts
In rural Minnesota, where consolida-
ton is practicable, to move at once
for the establishment of such school.
When the superior educational ad-
vantages thus offered are SO easily
within reach, why remain satisfied,
for q single school term longer, with
the antiquated equipment and meth
Vds of the one-room country school?
The latter has done q glorious work
for the country; but the recognition
Of this work should blind no one to
the fact that the consolidated school
is destined for work still more
glorious. For it is to bring within the
reach Of the country boy and girl all
the long coveted advantages of the
city school, with its graded classes,
its better.paid teachers, its attractive
building and apparatus. More than
this, it is to afford practical fnstruc.
ton in "the learning of the farm" 1t
10 to reveal to the country boy and
girl the world Of heretofore unsus-
pscted wonders connected with the
life and growth of plants'and animals;
