Plans for re-routing the 68 school
hacks used by the county TO bring pu-
pills to centralized schools are being
worked out in the office of the county
superintendent with the cooperation
of the various township trustees.
Hearings on two schools. those of Dis
trict II and District Is, Wayne town
ship, will be held this week.
The new routing system is in line
with the new plan of economical ad-
ministration of the schools outlined by
Superintendent Williams as the policy
for the school year of 1922 and 1923.
The people have bonded their
county to provide the best schools il
is possible to build" he said. Nov it
is up to the officials to administer
these schools in the most economical
manner possible, without sacrificing
educational standards"
Expensive Item
That the changing of hack routes in
the county is a matter of importance
is evidenced by figures contained in
a cost analysis sem out by the state
superintendent office.
They show that in the year 1920 to
1921, the number of pupils transported
to schools increased 50 per cen over
the number in 1914-1915 and for the
same period the cost of transporting
these pupils increased 222 per cent.
These figures are applicable tc
Wayne county, according to Superin
tendent Williams.
In some counties in the state, as
many as eight hacks are doing the
work that could be done by six, Ii
was determined in a survey recently
conducted by the state office. Thi:
condition holds true in Wayne county
as well as others, according 10 Mr.
Williams.
Cites an Instance
AS in an instance, the case of the
hack for District Number Is wa:
cited. This district is keeping a hacl
going to collect pupils for a small
school, and the patrons are paying
from $1,000 to $500 a year to keel
the school going for these few pupils
in addition to the cost of the hack.
Three miles from this school is thu
new Number Nine school building
with plenty of room to accommodate
the pupils. At very slight additions
