School started Monday and we
are already hard at work. When
the desks were removed from
the S study hall for the re-
ception the Friday before school
closed they were not marked and
were replaced rather haphazard-
ly and there was a little trouble
in getting misplaced effects re-
turned. That has all been adj
justed now and everything is
running smoothly.

The Third District contest will
be about the middle of April,
practically three and one half
months from today. This is a
very small time to prepare for
such an important meet and DR..
Ford warned us early last term
that we would not go to the con-
test unprepared. 1t is certainly
out of the question for the Fitz-
gerald high school, which had
them all scared for six years, to
back down and admit it is too
weak to enter a contest against
smaller schools. The best and
only sensible way to prepare for
a big contest is to have other
smaller contests. Each class in
our school has several really good
athletes and a contest between
classes would be very interest

Consolidation MEETING at ST. Clair

From Thursdays Daily.
Consolidation Meeting at st. Clair,
G. c. Swain, state rural school
commissioner addressed mass
meeting at st. Clair last Saturday
upon the subject of Consolidation
and was heard by large number OF
those interested in this live subject
and willing to be informed.
Mr.. Swain said that after four
years of close study of the subject
he was convinced that the consoli-
dated school would soon supplant
the present type of rural school and
believed that the interest manifest
throughout the country in the con-
solidated school was but an indica
ton of the awakening of the people
to the fact that we have allowed our
educational system to remain dor
mant in an age and time when
everything else and every phase OF
life is changing with rapid strides.
He emphasized the two advantages
which the consolidated school gives
to a community; first it guarantees
to every boy and girl in the rural
sections equal educational privileges
to those of higher class schools in
large cities, second it makes it pos
sible for the average family to give
their children high school educa
ton without the necessity of their
leaving the care and protection OF
the home
Supt. Detamore accompanied Mr.
Swain throughout his tour of speak
ing in Blue Earth County and reports
that the subject is a very live issue
in most sections.
