California Has 1857
Schools Oae-RooHi Type

California has 1857 one-room
schools, though the law permitting
consolidation of districts has been
in effect for many years. New
York has Ss5 one teacher schools.
In the opinion of some, this condi-
tion is contributing factor to illit-
ofacv and is one reason fer the fact
that the United States stands ninth
among the leading nations in liter
acy.
IT is claimed that the cities have
longer terms and more expert teach
crs than have the rural districts and
that the children in the country
schools do not have equal opportun-
itY for education with those in the
cities for these reasons. The con-
solidated schools district is the solu-
tion to the problem in the opinion
of educators who have made a study
Of it. There are others, however,
who still believe that the ungraded
school or rather the one teacher
school has advantages.
They point to the fact that many
of our great men received their early
education in the. little red school
house and that many of the captains
Of industry as well as the best of
our professional men grew up on
farms and studied in the one room
school. Imperial County has few of
the small schools even now and, most
of the rural schools have from one
to four teachers, due to the consol-
Idation of districts.
Mrs. Lydia D. Lawhead, state
Chairman of education c. +. w. c.
strongly favors the elimination of
one room schools as a means of ex-
tending education in the state and
lcssening illiteracv.

1t is too soon to expect the end of
racial antipathies engendered by the
war, in the opinion of the rector of
a small town in Norfolk. He recent
ly learned lesson that was pointed
and conclusive.
Wanting to embellish a war me-
mortal in the town with some carved
figures, the rector took it upon him
self to order the work done In due
time the figures arrived and were in
stalled. Then the trouble began, for
it was learned that the figures had
been carved in Germany. A storm
of Indignation broke upon the head
of the rector. He appealed to his
church superiors for support, which
was not forthcoming, and then re-
tired as gracefully as might be from
his impossible position.
