FAVOR UNIT SCHOOL PLAN
Missouri Educators Will Give Rural
. Children Same Opportunity as
Town Lads.

JEFFERSON CITY, May 4.-Edu-
Gators throughout Missouri regard
the annual convention Of the county
superintendents of public schools,
which will be held here this wcok,
beginning tomorrow, as one OF the
most important educational gather
ines ever bsen held IN the state. This
IS due to the activity along educshon-
al lines that has been 80 marked the
last few years in Missouri.
The most important matter before
the convention viii be the county
unit system for the plblic schools Ct
the state. This provides for n blan-
ket tax for school purposes with a
central governing board for all the
schools of a county. The committee
that has Investigated the matter Will
make a report through Prof. w. W.
Charters OF the state university urS-
ing its adoption In Missouri. The re-
port will say In part:
"Yhe county school unit has been
tried In IL states. and In none has it
been n failure. IL Is now under seri-
Gus consideration in az many more
states, and In the next 10 years 1t
will be u.sd moro extensively than
At present. 1t Is the next big thing
ior rural schools, because It provides
cooperation In education. What one
district can not do alone, 100 dis
tricts in a county can easily do.
The county school unit will put u
high school within six miles OF every
student In the state. A single dis
trict scheme can not do this.
