Following the practice In rural COM
munities all over the country. the
school trustees up the valley near An
thony on the west side. have purchased
an automobile -carryall' which each
day collects the children and takes
them 10 school and each afternoon
distributes them 20 their homes. BY
this plan. many small schools were
abandoned and the funds and teachers
concentrated on one larger school,
with a longer tern and better facili-
ties in every way. It is said that =
thousand district schools were closed
in Ohio last year and a thousand au-
tomObile --carryallS purchased. The
result Of the use Of the automobile
'carryaI to take the children to and
from school has been longer school
terms and better school facilities and
teaching staffs. Where one small
district school with one teacher. ran
for three months. the combining OF
three such schools. for instance. en-
ables school to continue for seven or
eight months with two teachers and in
"a better building.
