otuoyIn9 consolidated SCnootS.
The roads from here to Cleveland
are in fine condition and everyone in
terested in learning more about the
consolidated school question should
avail themselves of the opportunity
of visiting the fine school at that
place. This is the question of the day
in the rural school sections of Min

small village cannot afford to let the
Time go by and not accept the chance
to have a good school at home and
give every farmers child the same
privilege of obtaining an education,
that is equal to the schooling of the
lefty child. 1t is known that some are
not in favor of the consolidated
school. They have reasons of their
own. But, we must remember that the
school problem changes with the
advance of the times and we must be
prepared to meet this change. The
time is past when we can get forty
acres of land for short years labor.
The time is also past when dollar or
two per acre will pay interest on
money invested in land. The farmer
of today has his mower, his binder
his hay rake, and other modern ma
chinery: yet great many want us
to keep the old school just as it was
when grandfather went to school.
One would like to see the same par
ties use the old time cradle to NOW
with scythe and carry the grass out
of the low land on pole. They would
begin to think about the change of
the times. They did not get their
mower and binder and hay rake for
the asking. They had to pay for them,
but they are getting something for
their money. 1t is hoped that the
time will soon come when the one
room country school shall cease to
have an eXistance in the state of
Minnesota. Come, you boosters, the
roads are good, the time is here, get
busy and blow your horns and help
convince the people that now is the
time for all to organize for CONSOLE
dation. Let's go over to Cleveland
and learn something about their
