CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS
INTEREST EDUCATORS

To date there have been completed
1913 miles of federal mid highways
md more than nineteen thousand miles
In addition are under construction.
The mileage is of importance to edu-
Gators, because OF the increasing move
nent of progressive states towards the
establishment of consolidated SCHOOLS In
rurHl districts. SUCH schools gather to-
Eethor half u dozen or more teachers,
and bodies OF school children, to form q
aree and wcll-equipped school, taking
-ae place OF those which are smaller
and LEGS well served.
Consolidated schools must gather up
children from their country. homes, de-
liYcring them to and taking them from
school, By read transportation. 1t has
neen found that tho consolidated school
i3 seldom q success except where good
r2ads seFye the communities affected.
Who're there are good roads everywhere.
the school buses run inexpensiyeiy and
quickly, and provide the children within
radius OF 10 or even Is miles with
school faculties equal to that enjoyed
b. pupils in cities. Where roads are
poor, the maximum distance over which
q child can come to school Is 21h miles
The federat program Of better roads
- meeting with much approval among
educators who see in more good roads q
better standard OF scholarship among
the children of rural districts.

draws attention TO the fact that the

PRATTVILE, Ala, Oct. 31.-(Spe- cial.)-The Autauga county fair open ed this morning with flattering pros poets of a complete successful fair. The exhibits are more numerous and better quality this time than they were last year. The fair last fall was pronounced complete success and the exhibits are better this year than they were and bespoke greater meas ure of success this time. The crops. live stock, domestic, industrial and other exhibits.
 The attendance for the first day is very encouraging to the manage ment, and great hope is entertained for a successful year for the fair as- sociation. The association is largely composed of farmers and it is an en- terprise almost wholly for farmers.
 Thursday has been set aside for the school children and many exhibits are showing the work being done by the school children. The drawings, industrial work, and quite a number pertaining to the work done in books by the students rae to be seen at this time. Every school in the county will be present Thursday and stay the en- tire day. Friday has been set aside also for the negro schools of the county and quite a large attendance of negro children will be present. On each of these days there will be a grand parade from the courthouse to the fair grounds.
