Institution Doesn't Cost Much.
From a cost standpoint the Newell
institution has made remarkable
record. To the average observer it
might seem that transportation would
count heavily against consolidation in
the balance of accounts. This expense
has been totaled $12 quarter sec
ton, the Newell report shows, or s
cents an acre, each year. But that
tells half a tale. The school tax in
the consolidated districts is just the
same as the tax in independent dis
tricts adjoining, where students walk
to poorly ventilated and poorly heat
ed institutions of one room each.
Not one student leaves the district
to go to outside high schools, because
the consolidated school provides the
high school as well as the grade school
work, something not at hand in the in
dependent districts, where the cost of
education is just as high as in the con-
solidated district. The school has the
record of attracting yearly number
of tuition pupils.
Transportation has always beer xhe
big problem in connection with the
maintenance of the Newell school.
Five large buses are engaged to car
ry the children to and from school.
Each bus carries from twenty to twen-
ty-five passengers and makes a route

a phrase which originated when the

Stephen Hagen, manager of 3

the. following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending a vacation in q
city in the upper part of the state, he
visited some friends in a bank. While
there he saw severe-looking woman
move up to the teller's window and
request that small check be cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would iden.
tify her.
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did so in the following manner: "She
looked like the crankiest person in
the world. She was dressed in the
fashion OF about five years ago. 1
think she is an old cat. She wore a
blue straw hat, but then it may be
green, and I think she paints. She
wore two fake diamond rings. Good

London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral and gets to York at three

AT York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minister and other

through the Trossachs and takes
