tion deplorable because less than

Under present conditions many

I MY recently Mr.. Mcdonald talk

lost seven crops in eighteen years
ana was therefore No: i'm the bcsi
financial condition. He 'had two
children ready for high school
and it would have cost him $50
a year to send them to- school in
Min"t. The consolidated scII,m,I
brought the high school to them
with a cost of about eight and
one-half dollars.
Then, too, the consolidated
school will help towards solving
the problem of better teachers in
rural schools. The rural school
cannot progress until the stand
ard of teachers is raised. There
are lots of teachers if the propcr
salaries are paid and still, il is
hard to keep u good teacher many
years in ON" community. \ iracs-

question of ''who is going To

These food sales usually take

But when the church food sale

The chief objections raised tn

answered by The fact thai the
greatest number of consolidated
schools are north of the Great
Northern line, in that part of the

newer. is not yet so rich as in
