SCHOOLS, OFFICIALS SAY
washington, D. G., Feb. "a.

washington, D. O., Feb. "a.
The rural population is more will
ing to support beetter schools today
than at any previous time. In many
counties where bad roads prevail, the
most Of the schools are of the anti
ouated one-room variety. This con-
dition causes irregular attendance
and restricts the educational opportu
mites of the child Not only this.
hut IL often inpedes the economic
consolidation Of these smaller schools
into larger, stronger graded schools,
with high school courses, according
to the Office of Public Roads, U. s..
Department of Agriculture.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the aver
erage attendance greater, the efficienr
cy largely increased and economic
consolidation made possible. Regular
attendance at school means consist
emit and regular growth Of both pu.
pdl and school, and consolidation Of
schools means a maximum Of effici-
ency at a minimum of cost. It Is
marked tendency for the consolidat-
ed school to become the social ano
intellectual center of the community
Most modern rural schoolhouses are
40 constructed as to serve the com
munity as gathering places for va
rious kinds Of public meetings, and
where vans are used to convey the
4 children to school during theday they
are frequently pressed into service
to haul the farmrs and their wives
to institute work, lectures, or enter
tainments at the schoolhouse.
