IN FAVOR CONSOLIDATION
PICKINGS FROM sUPERINTEND-
ENT'S REPORT
Good Showing in County School
Matters Big Lossin Census Popu-
lation in Past Ten Years

In his sixteenth annual report to the
board of supervisors County Superin-
tendent Gardner enters very exhaus-
lively into the subject of work the
past year, making comparisons, sugges-
tons and recommendations that ought
TO be helpfn, AZ put into execution. He
states that the general conditions the
past year show marked Improvement
in all classes of schools, more noticeable
in our cities and villages, where better
buildings well equipped with modern
conveniences and working apparatus,
have an encouraging effect on students.
But, he suggests, 1.-THE rural districts
are not far behind in these matters,
where now houses are being built with
special reference to health and comfort
of the children. With one exception,
all school houses that have been built
within the past three years are of a
modern and approved type"
OF the county school census Superin-
tendent Gardner quotes statistics to
show a total Of 9.0l6 pupils between
the ages of and q years, an increase
of 70 over last year, but I ,249 less than
temyears ago. This heavy falling off
hnRt ENCOURAGING. Total net enroll
'xaent in the rural schools was 4, III, av-
erage attendance for each child, ITO
days. Net enrolment in state graded
schools 70l, average attendance l34
days. Enrolment IN grades below the
high school ia, averag attendance l47
days. Enrolment in high schools 3O7,
average attendance l6l days, showing
much better attendance in high and
graded schools over those Of rural COM
munities. Mr. Gardner says the rem
sdy for this unfavorable showing is con-
solidation of rural districts, graded
schools with two or more departments.
There were 80 districts in the county
last year that enrolled less than 20 pu-
pills each, one of the number having
but two The state encourages consol-
idation by paying portion of the ex-
pense of transporting pupils, also con-
tributes literally toward building funds
for such.
II requires 1902 teachers to fill our
schools when all are in session, and
last year III males and l91 females we're
employed. Average salaries per month,
in rural schools, males 43 81; females
$42 so. In state graded schools. males
500 SO, females S45 "a. High schools,
males S95 25, females, assistants and
grade teachers, $55 20.
Mr.. Gardner says it requires break
ing in of about fifty inexperienced
teachers in our county schools each
year, and that he fears that possibly
there may be shortage when the new
requirement goes into effect next July,
compelling call beginners to have a
years professional training before they
are eligible to receive a certificate to
teach The CENSOR herewith quotes
the complete financial report Of the
superintendent, demonstrating as It
does the expense of conducting our
county schools. 1t is worth ones time
to analyze this statement:
