demands for schools arise within
transportation distance. They dis
cussed the possibility Of consolda-
tion with the NeWlan Creek and
Hussey schools and decided to take
up the question with people in
these communities. "~ n
Many questions for the good Of
the school we're discussed with Su.
perintendent Lang, among them
being the social activities of the
school and medical inspection. AS
statistics show that 26 per cent OF
the children all over the country
are suffering from defective hear
ing, defective eyes, adnoids, etc,
Mr.. Lang expressed his intention
of having his teachers cooperate in
discovering such cases and advis-
ing with parents. The board ex-
pressed desire to make it possi.
BILE for those children to receive
medical attention who might not
otherwise be able to secure it.
The trustees of Harlowton are
establishing a precedent that will
keep their successors wide awake

ment of their excellence, I am glad
to state certain facts which anyone
may verify by a visit to the above
named schools.
At White Sulphur Springs, a
town of about 700 inhabitants, /
found a corps of six teachers, two
in the high school and four in the
grades, salaries ranging from $50
to $40.
Most of the teachers are normal
or college graduates. The school
is splendidly equipped. Very gen
erous provision has been made for
work in science. A good library
has been provided for the upper
grades and high school pupils but
more books are needed for the low.
ersand intermediate grades.
The board OF trustees, consisting
of James Wood, Geo. B. Nageus
and Fred Mcdonald, feel that the
present school building does not
meet with the requirements and
have succeeded in floating a bond
issue for $4,000 for the erection Of

i new building already in the
course of construction. The new
building is to be modern in every
particular, the basement to be fit
ted up for work in manual training
and domestic science and these
courses installed.
They also expressed their belief
in agricultural instruction and
their intention of putting in such
Il course as soon as they could at
ford to do so. The matter OF con-
was discussed and the
board declared their policy in fav.

normal graduates, salaries from 500
to $95 and four high school teach
ers, college and university gradn-
ates, two Of them from Columbia
University, salaries from a1O5 to
$175.
Tho school building cost 824, ,OOO
and is modern in every respect,
lighting, heating, yentilating and
sanitary drinking fountains. Mu-
sic and drawing are given special
attention and manual training and
domestic science are taught from
the fourth grade up, rooms in the
basement being nicely fitted for
these purposes.
The school board subscribed for
twenty magazines for teachers and
pupils. The school also has a good
library. They believe in looking
after the social life of their pupils
and are contemplating the pur-
chase of a Victrola and make this
another source of entertainment
for the children and public.
Miss Jessie Poindexter, one of
the efficient high school teachers,
has charge of the music, and has
done a great deal for the pupils in
getting up special plays.

Mrs. Bryant holds a professional
grade certificate and has had OK
perience in both city and country
schools. She stated that there
was nothing for the good of the
sch ool that the board would not

tions are that Mrs. Bryant has rec
ognized her needs and has not
been timid in putting them before
tho board. The school is equipped
with maps, globes, charts, libra

To eliminate this condition Of
affairs, State Superintendent Da-
wee is strongly advocating . nni-
form county rate Of staxation for

management OF all the schoolsin

This system has proved TO be very
successful iii several states.
Many states are doing away with
the one room school AZ fast as pos
sible and consolidating them into
one central school and conveying
the children to the school. While
Montana is too sparsely settled TO-
work ont consolidation generally,
there arc many instances where it
may be done. to advantage. At the
present time, consolidation can be
worked in connection with many
of our small town schools. Instead ]
of organizing one-room rural schools
within transportation distance Of
the established school, transporta- 4
tion to this school should be pro
vided for, extra room and extra
teachers added if necessary. The
feasibility of consolidation is de-
pendent not only upon distance
but upon condition of roads. 1t
should be considered practicable
wherever all the children in a
neighborhood may be conveyed in
an hours time.
Ravalli county has taken the
lead in rural school consolidati
in Montana, Superintendent Hoist
Of the Victor school taking the in
itiative. The one room schools.
which consolidated with ietois
were Pleasant View, FairvieW, Roll
and Curlew. In preparation for
consolidation, the board of trustees
| furnished drivers and wagons.
| The wagons cost from 1925 to
$242. They accommodate from 18 to
25 children. In cold or bad
weather, the wagons may be closed
| by rubber curtains. Each wagon
is provided with six lap robes, and
when the weather requires, each is
provided with four Clark foot
warmers. The board is especially
careful to secure responsible driv.
ers. A contract and bond are re.
quired and strict regulations en-,
. forced. The results of consolida,
tion in this instance may prove it's
value to any who may raise the
question.
