the increased cost and declare that they
would not go back to the 1-room school.
If nine-tenths of l .4l2 farmers patrons
of sc consolidated schools in state
that has been trying out consolidation
on big scale say they would not
under any circumstances exchange the
new type of rural school for the old,
if nine-tenths of them think that way
well, there you have it-what farmers
who have tried consolidation think of
it,
"A glance at the consolidation map
of the country shows what happens
when farmers observe this new kind
of a school in operation. The map is
not dotted here and there with isolated
dots. but spotted with groups of them.

half or more of the townships consoli-

region is almost certain to start trail
