TO cENTRALlZE SCHOOLS.
School District in Lake Basin Will
Adopt New Plan to Increase
Educational Facilities.

The PROSPEROUS residents of school
district No 80 in the Lake Basin
north OF Roundup are contemplating
a novel improvement in the educa-
tional facilities of their district. The
population of the district has been
increasing so rapidly the past two
wears that it is now found necessary
to either build two more school houses
in addition to the one they have now
or else to combine the two with the
present one and provide for the trans
portation of children living a distance
from the school. If it is decided to
build two new schools the district will
have to bond itself in the amount of
So, 900. while it is estimated that under
the Capitalization plan S1,50o would
be sufficient.
The GENERALIZATION plan has many
points in its favor and it is reported
here that most of the residents in the
district in question are in favor OF 1t.
Under the new plan the educational
facilities of the district would be
vastly increased. The school would
be raised to the standard OF graded
school with no increase in expense
Throughout the east where this plan
has been adopted it has worked ou,
very successfully. The plan has also
been introduced in several localities
in Montana with gratifying results.
