SCHOOLS OF MASON
TOBESTUDIED BY RE-
SEARCH COMMITTEE
Special Commission Appointed to
Study Consolidated Schools VIII
Visit Mason County TO Study
Our Schools.

The fame of Mason county's con-
solidated High Schools have spread
all over the country and now the Ma
tional Bureau of Education is turn
ing its attention to the consolidated
school.
Mr.. ]. Virgil Chapman, State Super
visor of Elementary schools, has been
appointed by the National Bureau of
Education to serve on a special educa-
tional research committee, whose bus
mess is to make a careful study OF
school consolidation and rural high
school conditions in the United States
and Canada. This committee will
work with one representing the Ma
tional Education Association appoint
ed by the Department of Superintend-
ents and Supervisors.
Mr.. Chapman, who has had twenty
years experience in public school
work in the South spent the past sum-
mer in company with a number of
State supervisors at Harvard Summer
School studying some special prob
lens in rural school administration.
He says that while most of the higher
institutions of learning are modifying
their courses to meet war conditions,
it is conceded by school men that
some radical changes in the common
school curriculum and perhaps a gen
eral reorganization of the entire sys-
TEN will be necessary, particularly
that the rural schools may more ade-
quately perform their functions. The
work of this joint committee will be to
obtain such information as will be OF
value in such readjustment to answer
the greater requirements of the period
after the war.
Mr.. Chapman and his commission
will visit the Mason county consoli-
dated high schools in the near future
to see just how "the Mason county
plan" is worked.
