CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.

While the farmers are putting great
emphasis 1ib0n lac benefit Of co,
operative buying and selling, they
should not overlook the fact that con
bolidati0n OF rural schools Is the
same principle applied TO education.
North Dakota is making RAPID
strides IN the concentration Of ilg
educational forces. The establishment
Of the board OF regents by the last
legislature was a recognition t.iat
elimination Of wnstc ard duplication
" Ms heccBGary9in educational affairg
az in tho conduct OF a Bucceseful ,Dlsi.
ness plant. Principles that succeed
andlSlrial affairs can nearly alwayg
ne effectively applied In the conduct
Of educational matters.
The consolidation Of rural schools
a done more TO keep the boy and
girl Upon the farm than any one re,
form Of the last decade, When cIu.
catlOnal facilities arc Inadequate, the
farmer who desires to educate ,,,is
boy and girl must send them TO the
city miles away where the environ.
ment Is often bad.
n. G. Macdonald inspector Of rural
schools. discusses the situation In his
annual report just off the press. AS
mo well states, "the two foremost
needs Of rural schools today are bet.
ter attendance and better trained
teachers"
Statistics s.low conclusively that
consolidation OF rural schools resllts
IN increasing the efficiency OF the
educational plant. The rapid strides
consolidation has taken proves that
the rural communities are being
won over rapidly. Much remains to
be done, however, ana 1t Is only
through cong.ant agitation that the
rural school can be brought up to
the proper standard. TOO much at.
tention has been spent upon institu-
lions OF higher education while the
fountain head, the rural school, has
been neglected,
In the educational lobby that fre.
Guents tle legislative halls the rural
