Although the Frederic school has al

essary to start two more bus routes
for the transportation OF the children
The unifying influence Of these lines
then became noticeable. Besides their
value in affording country children
better school privileges they help news
to spread more accurately and knit to-
gether all parts Of the community by
giving more reliable information for
the comparison Of roads and conven-
fences.
The coordination OF the interests OF
the schools of the whole community
was difficult. but successful. II was
difficult because the size Of the Joint
district set the rural schools at rath-

Groups Of the high school pupils with
teachers OF the school visited the sew
cn nearest schools each winter and
gave each an evenings entertainment.
These fetes resulted in more communi-

A precedent has been set also for the
