pR wAeNER,s coMMENDABLE MoRK.

~ OMMENDABLE educational work in behalf OF con-
" soldated schools in the rural districts in Della
ware is being done by the State Board OF Education
with Dr. Charles A. Wagner, state Commissioner of
Education, in uirect charge Of it, Active sentiment in
favor Of consolidation and consequent improvement in
educational conditions Is being aroused in both Kent
and Sussex counties al the present time. The propa-
ganda be carried into all districts that are sus-
ceptioe Of consolidation along practical lines
The meetings thus far held have revealed that there
is much difference of opinion among the taxpayers in
the districts. 1t is based not so much upon whether
consolidation is, is not good thing. upon the
expense that would attend such an innovation The
discussion has shown that many men who are pro-
gressye in the matter Of education are reactionary
in the matter Of taxes Dr waeners great work lies
in the conversion of such reaconary taxpayers to the
important thought that the educational interests
OF the children of infinitely greater Importance
than small increases in if local conditions should
necessitate such increases
The consolidation plan proposed by Dr. Wagner is
comprehensive II il be put into effect no doubt It
will be highly beneficial the districts which adopt IT,
He. the members OF the State board and the three
school superintondents have given it much thought
following careful survey of the rural districts They
have decided that is the best thing that be evolved
to meet conditions they exist There also Is a
nexbniy about it tfa may be used condi-
tions they may arise result of advancement in
educational work
The men and the rural New Castle, Kent
and Sussex mites ought cooperate heartily with
Dr. Wagner What he is seeking do is something
for the benefit Of them and their children Of school
going Il also bears vitality upon the interests of
posterty in those sections and in the State large.
He is entitled their friendly assistance in everything
he may undertake in the matter OF putting their schools
upon up-todate footing regards educational eff
cheney.
AS the situation stands, we have many small
country schools that weak in efficiency. The
proposition simply is to form large and strong districts
from those small and weak ones. along lines that have
been successful in other states in which the rural
school problem has been met and overcome in ssts-
