Relation Of Roads
To Rural Schools.
Good Roads Help Build Up Schools
And Communities.

The rural population is more
willing to support better schools
today than at any previous time 1t
is being realized that all educational
activities or agencies must be more
or less correlated, and, more than
all else, that they must be made
accessible to the children. In many
counties where bad roads prevail,
most of the schools are of the
antiquated One.room variety. They
are usually located along bad roads.
which, duriug the winter, when
the schools are usually in session,
become SO nearly impossible rs to
make it difficult for the children to
reach them. This condition causes
irregular attendance and restricts
the educational opportunities OF
the child. Not only this, but it
often impedes the ecoaomic con-
soiidation of these smaller schools
into larger, stronger graded schools,
with high-schOol courses, directed
by competent principal and corps
of teachers, according to the Office
of Public Roads.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads
the schools are easily reached, the
average attendance greater, the
efficiency largely increased, and
economic consolidation made pOssl-
BILE. Regular attendance at school
means consistent and regular
growth of both school and pupil,
and consolidation of schools means
a maximum of efficiency at a mini
mum of cost. 1t is also noteworthy
that there is a marked tenden0y for
the consolidated school to become
the social and intellectual center of
the community. Most modern rural
school houses are so constructed as
to serve the community as gather
ing places for various kinds of
public meetings, and where vans
are used to convey the children to
school during the day they are
frequently pressed into service to
haul the farmers and their wives to
institute work, lectures, or enter
tainments at the school house. The
consolidated school becomes a sort
of community center to which all
educational and social activities
converge, and in order that it may
properly perform that function all
of the highways leading to it should
be so improved as to render il
readily accessible throughout the
year.
