AGAINST 1-ROOM SCHOOL

Until Indiana holds first place in
stead of seventeenth among the other
states Of the union for general efficiency
in her schools there can be no let down
on the campaign in the state for bet
ter educational conditions" declared l.
n. Hines. state superintendent of public
instruction, today.
Mr. Hines has visited every county in
the state, investigating the educational
and sanitary conditions Of the schools
I have found he said, that the at
titude of the people toward school i'm
proraments is fine; they are ready To
reco .niZe and listen TO our plans Of ad-
vaneement.R
The superintendent said that good
place to begin Is in the rural schools,
where the conditions in some localities
are far from satisfactory.
The state board of education is very
much opposed to the building of any
more One-room schools except where geo
graphical conditions make It impossible
70 erect consolidated Schools" declared
Mr.. Hines
A report has been prepared by the
state school board showing that in 1907
there were S,S53 one-rOOm schools in
the state. while on March ], 1920, there
were 1850 OF 4 progress in school con-
s0lidation of 45 per cent.
Mr. Hines said that in one of the
weaithiest counties in the state there
are sixty five One-room schools Of an
inferior type.
a child in n 81 per capita school tan
district is entitled TO as good schooling
as the child in the $500 district" Mr.
Hines said, "and we intend to use every
resource in our power to see that he
Rses what Is only his due"
WANTS COMPULSORY
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Compulsory medical inspection should
be substituted for permiSsory inspection
as one of the first steps in the evolution
TO better schools, declared Mr.. Hines.
''In Putnam county a graduate health
nurse examined 1,136 children in schuOl
and found the following Affections: NAL

Blame for many Of the outstanding
conditions were laid on the general pub
lie and the school trustees by the super
intendent.
He said that when sufficient. taxes are
not levied TO cover the salaries of ef-
feient teachers and the purchasing OF
adequate supplies, the poor results can
not be laid at the doors Of the school au-
th0rities
Il have visited several rural schools
where there were no maps In the school;
others where there were no dictionaries,
and some which had no supplies at all
for the primary students.
Some of fine buildings are of the most
primitive type: one school was heated by
a fireplace which had been in use for
nearly fifty years.
sIn cold weather it was necessary for
the pupils TO hubble around this fire.

Il visited one little school where, the
pupils were drinking water from sluS-

In discussing the salaries paid to
teachers, Mr. Hines said that many
teachers in country schools were receiv-
ing from $500 to $500 per year.
