available for each recitation. The
teacher, instead Of being forced to
teache everything, whether she is
fitted for it or not, could be assign
ed in a measure, at least, to work
or grade for which she is especially
fitted.
Moreover, she would have the very
great advantage Of the supervis on
and direction Of an experienced and
capable principle-for it is certain
that the princpleship Of these
schools would attract such men and
women. The possibility of grade
worn is one the very greatest ad
vantages to be derived from consoh-
dalton.
As to advanced work: Work above
the eighth grade, or common school
course" would be entirely at the op-
ton Of the consolidated district If
only this work were given it would
be better given, and more pupils
would take it. But one Of the OBJ
jects Of consolidation is to provide
higher schooling for country chill
dren without sending them or taking
them away from home; and in m ,st
cases, therefore, there will be % H.
mand for additional grades. These
hould be added as they are needed,
and not at the expense Of thorough
ness in the lower grades. The rural
high school course, while following
in some respects the high school
courses Of the cities, should differ
from these in some essential per
ticulars. 1t should harmonic with
country life, leading to it instead of
away from it. While not neglecting
literary training, it should empha-
size the natural sciences, and should
be should in agriculture, manual
training and domestic economy.

ARGUMENTS FOR
CONSOLIDATION

JuUoULtuHttUU
Continuation from last week of
contributed article.)
II is not our purpose to enlarge
upon each one Of the thirty-six ad-
vantages Of consolidation stated,
but to present, as cleary as we can,
the large gains that would come to
rural schools from the adoption Of
consolidation. We may boast as we
will of our present rural school sys-
TEN, but it is far from satisfactory
and for three chief reasons /:
First, its tendency is to secure
teachers not fitted by age, exper-
fence, or training TO perform the
tremendously difficult and impor-
tant task Of training and teaching
children; second, it renders impos-
sible the proper grading Of the
schools, without which even the good
teacher cannot succeed; and third,
it does not provide for any school
ing above the eighth grade, and puts
the farmer who naturally desires
more education for his children, to
the necessity of sending them to
town at great expense-at time too,
when they should not be away from
home-or Of moving to town with
his family to educate his children.
AS to the teacher: Many Of the
teachers in the rural schools are
young and without normal training.
There are, of course, many cases
where excellent teachers are secured
for the country schools. Now the
strength Of the school depends al
most absolutely upon the strength
of the teacher, and it is unfortunate,
to say the least, that the rural
schools under the present system,
secure the less capable teachers.
1t must be apparent that the consol-
idated school, which would add
greatly to the interest of the work,
brings the companionship if other
teachers and the guidance Of cap
able principle, releases the Co airy
teacher from the nightmare Of an
ungraded school, and inevitably re-
suits in raising the standard Of eff
ficiency among the teachers of the
rural schools.
AS to grading: Under the pres
ent system it is no unusual thing for
teacher to hear from twenty FIVE
to thirty classes a day. This gives
from ten to twelve minutes to a rec
itation, which is wholly inadequate.
Suppose three districts were con-
solidated, and only the same work
were covered. There would still be
twenty five or thirty recitations, but
it would be distributed among tire.
teachers and ample time wo"ld be

Think of It'll

Va
Women in arms-fghting the bat
ties of their countryl
The bitterness and horrors of
this war should be brought forcibly
home to all civilized people by the
action Of the women Of France.
When fighting becomes necessary
it is assumed to be the exclusive
province of man to engage in the
active fray.
And yet this frightful war has
reached the stage where the women
Of Paris are recruiting regiment
Of soldiers among their own sex
for duty in the field.
Men are needed on the battle line,
and this regiment of women soldiers
will shoulder their rifles and convoy
ammunition and provision trains,
garrison conquered territory, and
perform other field duty necessary
in order to relieve men who are
needed at the front.
Has the civilization of this world
fallen so low that the mother Of man
must sink her sex and expose her
fair breast to the mutilation Of shot
and shellq
Must she face the horrors Of the
battlefield, the rigors of a campaign
and the pestilence Of armed camps
in order that kings, emperors and
fools may satiate their cravings for
official murderY
Women in arms!
Is the lust Of man for power so
great that the sacredness Of woman
hood must be brushed aside, her
frailty trampled in the dust, her
privacy outraged by the glare of
camp ifeq
God forbid!
The patriotism of these women IS
sublime!
1t has few parellels in history.
But what disgrace to, mankind
what blow to our blood bespat-
tered civilization
