The grammar school team was of

Consolidation

Vashon school districts will soon
be called upon to vote on the
question of consolidating the two
districts. Many such consolida.
tons are being voted il this state
because of a new lawlwhich went
into effect a year ago.
All school districts of the state
are now designated by sbe State
Board as either high school OF
non-high school districts. For ev-
cry pupil from non-high school
district who attends d high school
the non-high school must pay to
the high school district the differ.
ence between the cost per pupil
of maintaing such high school and
the attendance money it draws
per pupil from the State fund.
Each high school pupil draws
from the State fund something
near thirty dollars per year. Sup
pose a high school costs eighty
dollars per year per pupil for
maintenance. For every pupil
from non high school district
who attends that high school the
non-high school district must pay
that difference, or fifty dollars per
year. 1t will readily be seen that
a district such as Columbia would
in a few years pay out consid-
cradle sum in this way. When the
two districts consolidate, of course
such sum is no longer paid.
Each district which enters a
consolidation must pay its own
Indebtedness in full. In this case
Vashon is offering Columbia a
tii'st-class high school building
without a cent of expense to Col
umbia.
A bonus of two thousand days ;
attendance each year is granted
from the State fund to the two
districts which consolidate. If
three districts consolidate. a bon
us of four thousand days is grant
ed, and so on. BY this years APP
portionment this would amount
TO about three hundred dollars for
two districts consolidated. or six
hundred for three and so ON. For
next year ii Will probably be quite
a bit larger
In consolidated districts the
grade schools may be kept in each
just as they were before. The high
school pupils who live two miles
or more from the school building
may be transported by school
auto.
Upon receiving petition sign
ed by five heads of families re-
questing the consolidation of two
or more adjoining districts in the
same county, the county superin.
tendent calls a special election of
the voters of each district. A ma
Jority vote in each district voting
separately decides the question.
A consolidation so formed must
be maintained for at least five
years.
When a consolidation is formed
ali the directors Of the several dis
tricts serve as the board of direc-
tors of the new district until the
next annual school election. Then
the county superintendent divides
the entire consolidated dis.r;ei
into three parts according to pop
ulation, and a new director is cleo
ed from each part.
Such a consolidation would be
a fine thing for Vashon. 1t would
increase the number Of pupils in
the high school next year, which
is much to be desired. More pu-
pills means more life in your
school and more attendance money
drawn from the State fund. The
two thousand days bonus from the
State fund would in few years
equip a manual training depart

that there must and will be an
other big bond issue. Having put
our hands to the pillow we must not
look back. We cannot afford TO.
Because while the world war is
really over, il is not technically
ended until President Wilson is
sues a proclamation to that effect.
We still have huge army over
seas, and while it should be brot
home as soon as onr ships can
bring our soldiers back, until they
get back they must be fed and
clothed and otherwise cared for.
II would be an everlasting shame
not to do that. So people should
subscribe for the impending loan
and purchase War Savings stamps
as readily and literally as they
subscribed for past loans. It's for
the support of our soldiers, and
nothing is too good for them.
Bishop Sumner of Portland led
the memorial services for the late
ex President Roosevelt at Camp
Lewis last Sunday morning, and is
quoted as follows. Certainly no
man ever lived in this country
that stood for Americauism as he
stood for it I; no man ever by word
of mouth or by his writings held
up TO the world the ideals of Am.
ericdnism as did Col. Roosevelt.
II is true that he was outspoken
in criticisms Of certain admins
trations, but in doing this he was
thoroughly sincere. And, after ali,
would IT not be a serious thing
for this great democracy if there
were not some men who had the
courage to stand out and criticise
an administration Woe TO us if
we allow even the autocracy of a
political party or of any one indi-
vidual to rule the country without
being disciplined by criticism and
held up to certain standards and
ideals by that criticism. Roose-
welt stood for patriotism"
Whenever the general public de-
plores strike and takes the stand
that it is illadvised, the sooner said
strike is called off the better for
all concerned.
