RENVIELE COUNTY HAS

county has one Of the most unique
schools in the state and it Is a strik-
ing illustration of the practical value
of the consolidated school system. 1t
lis located in Eden valley, a rural
community not far from Sherwood.
The citizens Of that vicinity voted a
consolidated school, erected a $4,000
building and in connection establish
ed a home for the teachers. There
are three teachers, all of normal
school training. The total enrolment
is eighty-two. Eight arc in the
eighth grade and the remarkable
number of seventeen are in the high
school department.
This Is the largest percentage Of high
school students in any consolidated
school in the state an dgreatly in ex-
cess of the average city school. 1t is

ordinary rural schools.
There. are in the cities and towns
of the state more than 1000 boys and
girls in high school work that are not
he sons or daughters OF farmers.
The farming population of the state
is about three times hat Of the urban
population and on that basis there
should be at least 5000 sons and
daughters of farmers, in high schools.
The actual figures are between 800
and 400. It is to change these exist
ing conditions and secure a more
equitable adjustment of affairs that
the consolidated school is being so
strongly urged in the state.
N. c. Mcdonald, the state superin-
tendent of consolidated. graded and
rural schools, has done great work in
a~gitating their establishment and the
number in the state is now something
over 200, probably 215. OF these be-
tween seVenty-five and 100 are in
small villages and towns and the
others in rural districts.
