The hand Of progress has always met
with some opposition. Aside from the
organization Of the school boards Of
Carter county perhaps the most progres.
sive step that has been taken in the in.
terest Of our rural schools was the ele =
ton to consolidate school districts O.,
and 10. The peopi, in those sections
want their children to have equal edu-
cational OF portunities with the city chill
dren.
When the little bit Of opposition ques-
toned the election held April 20, to con-
solidate districts z, 8 and 10. the court
sustained every procedure as legal ex.
cept failures to give ten full days no.
tice Of said election--the notices having
been posted ten days counting the day
Of posting. which should have been ex.
cluded.
Mrs. Zaneis. county superintendent,
who is strong adherent to the letter
Of the. law. notified the people Of these
districts that the election would be held
over. Promptly the people Of all three
districts sent In new petitions to Mrs.
Zaneis. These were signed by more than
half the legal voters Of all three dis
tricts.
The election has been scalled for Sat-
urday. May IA, and the interest in this
"better school movement" grows daily
In speaking Of consolidated schools
and the advantages gained by pupils In
rural districts. Mrs. Zaneis, the super
intendent, said:
at means better schools, In that con-
solIdation means TO centralize the funds
Of several districts and make possible
a seveiDl room school instead Of q
one or two room school. 1t will cost very
little more.
Consolidation means several teachers
instead OF one or two. This will allow
the children to be placed In room with
children OF their size. age and grade.
CONSOLIDATION means better grade
work and accredited high school work.
Consolidation means that your child
can be educated at home. This means
that the home influence and the advice
OF parents will daily surround your
child.
Consolidation means that your boya
and girls may have chance to become
professional men and women. Today
every profession Is closed TO the young
man or woman who hasn't high school
education.
Consolidation means vocational edL.
cation for your children.
Consolidation means training In do
mestic science. Too much Is said today
Of taking the boys back TO the farm
What we should do Is to educate the
boys on the farm.
Consolidation means better teachers.
Experienced teachers with first grade
certificates will want 10 teach In ru-
raj school OF this class.
II know that the fathers and mothers
OF your district will want TO do their full
duty by their children. will want to
give their children an education, will
want to give their children an equal OPP
portunity with the children OF cities In
80 far rs an education IN concerned. /
believe the time has come In Carter
county when fathers and mothers arc
anxious for consolidation because II has
proven to be the means OF giving to
rursh children their birthright.
