fed last year by the state board Of

ton Of the funds, all counties being

ing that there are now 1873. %consolida,-
ed schools in the state, EOS being town
consolidated and 1913 open country

creas Of 60 thin the past year; and
attention is called to the rae; that ha:
it not been for the GU; in tnc
appropriation last fall the increaG>
would have been much greater. This
"a an increase during the pas;
four years Of over 81 schools per yea,
as against an average Increase OF less
than six per year when no state aid
was available. The principal cause,
CT this increase are given as the state
aid and the educational campaign for
better rural schools. Prot, A. p. HOi-
lis of the state agricultural college IS
given special mention in connection
vita this work. A few School views"
are given, n of which shows a school

80 statistical items concerning twenty
five open consolidated schools in

that the average tax rate is twenty

per school is seventy and thai the
average drive II way is four miles"
Recommendations. m 80:
These in Substance are as follows:
~ The minimum term in these
classified schools should. lhe: at least
nine months and these Should DE a
full compliance with the compulsory
attendance law. CIV All principals
and teachers in these schools. should
be at least standard normal school
graduates or the equivalent; and ali
adequate minimum wage should De re-
go All consolidated schools
should receive at least double the
amount stated in the law; this would
call for a larger appropriation than is
now available. and the county sIper-
intendent and. commissioners should
have power TO consolidate schools
when petitioned for such by a maj.:i-
of the patrons of the ~cIools to b"
consolidated. az The inspector
should have the opportunity to give
more tine to the organization. and in.
spocticn of consolidated schools; this
mean more assistance or a d.
