It is noticed that consolidation runs
in groups That is, tn ire are ger-
lily ~ be found several consolidated
schools in one county or in adjoining
counties. Professor MacDona4d thinks
this is one of the most hopeful signs
as it shows that where a consolidated
school is once established 1t is only a
matter Of time until the adjoining
districts take up the new idea after
they find out how it works.
Professor Macdonald has found that
there is only the one drawbark 10
consolidation. That Is transporta-
ton, which is often hard and dis
agreeable during the winter months
However, this objection is more than
balanced by the advantages of better
teachers, better facilities, better work
in grades, and. high school facilities
OF 1000 children of the state, who
have tried both methods and who have
been personally interviewed by Pro-
fessor Macdonald, practically every
one is enthusiastically for consolida-
ton.
There is another feature that comes
with consolidation that is an advan-
tage of significant character. This is
improved social conditions. OF all the
good things that can be said of con-
solidation probably this one is the
greatest. It has been found that it is
doing much to keep the young men and
women on the farm. - .

Pollock Renders Decision
in Grand Forks Case

Judge c. A. Pollock has granted the
temporary injunction. asked by certain
citizens OF Grand Forks to restrain the
board of education Of that city and
contractors, from erecting new $205,
900 school building. 1t is stated that
many citizens Of the city did not want
the building erected on the site selected
by the board and that the injunction
was asked because the board used
funds, which. it lis alleged. they did not
have authority to appropriate.
His decision is as follows:
1t is but just at the outset for me to
say that no charge of corruption, inten-
tionaf wrong doing. or personal gain
was made against any OF the defend
ants. In fact counsel for the plain
tiffs stated in open court, that. in so

rors complained of, especially as to
methods of procedure, have been in
herited from the past; that the sys-'

been in continuous use for many years.
Notwithstanding these facts the plain
tiffs allege that the method Of making

are and have been illegal and void, and
that no contract could be OF binding

fairs. The affidavit OF Mr.. Burchard

things admits the following: THAT

either on the books Of the treasurer OF
said board or in the books kept in

conditions has been so keenly felt
by our city fathers, that they IN
their wisdom have seen 6t to either

burdened community or reduce the
expenses Of the city government,
and they have, IN their wisdom,
seen fit to reduce the salary OF our
worthy waterworks manager and
likewise our efficient chief of police

public servants salaries should not
likewise be reduced. The higher

the aldermen should reduce their

whatever until conditions adjust
themselves. Yours truly,

There is a probability that the
board of aldermen will soon begin
the placing of gravel on the prin-
cipal street of Port Gibson, using
the town team for that purpose.
This is the first suggestion, SO far
as we know, looking toward per-
manent streets since 1898 when
similar plan was proposed.
1t is true that a little over
year ago the board spent consider
able money trying to make = sand
clay street, but the mistake was
made of trying to do the work
without the aid ofsn experienced
road-buiIder and the money was
wasted. The present plan will
give a permanent road bed with
but little cost, if the board will
confne itself to the present faciIi-
ties for placing the gravel. The
work may be slow, but there is no
great need for rush.
