SOME SCHOOLS THAT
ARE CONSOLIDATED.

= 4 !
At a time when consolidation Of
schools is attracting general atten-
'tion, 1t iss interesting to note what
the results have been in these com
munities OF Iowa where the plan
is being used.
F. Several rural districts adjoining
Crawl ordsville. a village in Washing
ton County, have consolidated
their schools with those of Craw-
fordsvilBe.- Five hacks are used to
carry the children. Eighty one chil-
dren out of every hundred in the
cons olidated d. district are attending
school nine moths in the year, and
the total cost is, $4.0S per month
for each pupil. Outside of the con-
solidated district in Washington
County, forty seven children out of
'each hundred. are attending school
about seven and one half months in
the year, and total cost is $4.72
per month for each pupil ].
The schools of McIntire, "a town
of about five hundred in Mitchell
County, are also consolidated with
those of adjoining rural districts.
Nine hacks are used. Inside Of the
consolidation, sixty per cent of the
children of school age are i'm school
nine months in the year, and the
total cost for each pupil is $4.26
per month. Outside of the consoli-
dation in Mitchell County, fifty
tour per cent of the children OF
school aga are in school about sew
en- and three-fourths months in the
year. and the total cost for each
pupil is $4.24 per month.
The schools of Newell, a town of
more than seven hundred people i'm
Buena Vista County. are consolidla-
tied with those Of rural districts
(adjoining. Four hacks are used to
carry the children to and fro. Sixty
per cent of the children Of school
age within the consolidated district
are in school nine months in the
year, the total cost for EACH pupil
being $4.52 per month. Outside of
the consolidation in Buena Vista
County, forty six per cent of the
children of school age are in school
eight months in the year, and the
total cost for each pupil is $4.96
per month.
There are a number of other plac-
es in Iowa where uhe, plan is being
used, and a great many in adjoin-
| ing states, which sesm to have got
ahead OF Iowa in this respect. The
Journal expects to report THE re-.
suits in these places from time to
| time.
| In two or three respects, the re
suits wherever the plan is used are
strikingly similar The cost per
month for each pupil does not diff
!! fer greatly under the two plans. But
where the schools are consolid dated,
w.a invariably find THAT (l) a larg-
er percentage of the children are
lin school, (2) that they attend more
onths In the year, and CD that
Ithey are getting really good graded
and high school advantages, in
stead of the haphazard and often
worthless kind that characterizes
