A NEW CONSOLIDATION
BULLETIN


Consolidation of schools and trans
portation of pupils is the subject Of
Bulletin, 1923, No. Al, soon to be is
sued by the United States Bureau of
Education. The bulletin is not con-
fined to what is popularity known as
the consolidated school but is an at
tempt to review and evaluate in gen.
eral the entire educational movement
that has for its purpose bringing
children together in larger groups so
that the wealth and energy of greater
areas may be concentrated on fewer
and better schools. 1t deals with the
location and fundamental weaknesses
of the 10000 one-teacher schools in
the United States, the history and de-
velopment of consolidation and trans
portation since the time of Horace
Mann, the economic and educational
forces that have caused the establish
ment of consolidated schools and
their value in school progress. In
tracing the history of consolidation
the author presents the main facts re-
lating to the growth of city systems,
Independent and special districts, and
the gradual extension of the township
and county as units of school admin
lstration.
There is a discussion of the present
status of consolidation, it's different
forms as shown in complete and par
tial consultations, state-graded
schools, union high schools, and coun-
" secondary schools.
Statistical measures both absolute
and relative, of the amount of con-
solidation in the United States are
given. Finally, the progress of the
movement, it's pur-
)oses, and the outlook for it is stat
ID for each of the 48 States. The bull
etin is generously illustrated with
maps and graphs.

Phe United States maintains the

The percapita income in the United
States is higher than for any other

Farmers of the United States send

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS
RESTS ON GOVERNMENT
Absence of Supervision and National
Legislation Partly to Blame

An appalling number of people are
killed and injured every year on the
highways of this country. Sporadic
efforts are made in cities, and Occa-
sionally by States, to cure the evil by
legislation and regulation Of traffic,
notably in speed ordinances and head
light laws, but without much effect.
The reason is that speed and glaring
headlights are not the primary cause
of highway accidents.
Examination as to the causes of ac-
cidents shows that the principal fac
tors are sharp curves, impaired vision
due to fences, Overhanging trees, en-
bankments, ETC., excessive grades, too
narrow bridges, slippery road sur
faces, dangerous detours, defective
road surfaces, weak bridges, and too
narrow roads.
If the National or State govern
ment permitted a railroad to kill and
MAIN its passengers because OF too
sharp curves, too steep grades, defect
i've rails, improper signals, or TOO
weak bridges, the people would speed
lily change the government!
Roads have grown almost impercep-
to highways. The automobile traffic
was born almost overnight, and is in
creasing by leaps and bounds. Gov
ernment is used to highways as safe
ribbons of traffic. 1t has yet taken
little cognizance of the dangers which
the road, safe for horse and buggy,
provides for car.
It is inevitable that the United
States construct a system of trunk
line highways north and south, east
and west, throughout the country.
Such highways will not have danger
Ous surfaces, curves, bridges, embank-
ments or crossings. AS soon as State,
county and town road builders see the
in the death and injury rate
On properly built and maintained
their own standards of road
will inevitably respond.
Until that day comes, it is impossible
entirely to absolve governmental in
Inference from completely in highway
accidents.

BOYS AND GIRLS AT
THE FAIRS

This is to be recorded as the ban
ner year for boys and girls at the
State and county fairs. The youngsters
have been encouraged by the promot-
ers of the expositions to make club
and individual exhibits and these have
already captured many prizes. At the
New York State Fair at Syracuse two
entire exposition buildings were oc-
cupied by the boys and girls with their
exhibits. One building was devoted
to the junior extension work and the
other to school exhibits. The Roches-
ter Exposition also featured the jun
1or work, notably the stock-judging
contest for boys and girls.
Reports from other States tell of
the encouraging achievements of the
boys and girls at the agricultural
fairs. 1t is more than likely that next
year the exhibits of boys and girls
clubs will be made feature of prac-
tically every State and county fair in
the United States. The country schools
the country newspapers and the ex-
tension departments of the agricul- !
tural colleges are behind the club
and there is no doubt of
It's beneficial results. This fall and
winter will witness the organization

HIGHWAY BUILDING TO
BE GREATEST INDUSTRY
Trend Shown By Farmers Need For
Increased Hauling

There are more than six and quar-
ter million farms in the United States,
worth in excess of seventy billions of
dollars, a sum in excess of that in
vested in any other three industries
of the country. Any up-to-date farm
er tilling more than 80 acres knows
that, given a road over which he can
travel, he must have a truck or lose
honey to his competitor who has one.
Assuming for the purposes Of argu-
ment that one-third the farms in Am
erica are 80 acres or more, it is OBJ
vious that more than two million
trucks are needed on farms alone.
The present yearly production OF
trucks is a quarter of a million. The
existing number of trucks serving
farms is probably not in excess OF
half a million. The reason why use
lags so far behind necessity is the
fact that the trucks should travel over
two and half million miles or road
and actually do travel over less than
three hundred thousand miles Of road,
for the good and sufficient reason that
only that number of miles are sutti-
ciently improved to make truck haul
ing economical.
Statistics gathered by the govern
ment show that, given a reasonably
good road, it costs, per ton mile, 10
cents to haul wheat, Is cents to haul
corn, and 1S cents to haul cotton by
truck, whereas by wagon the rates
are 80, SO, and 4S cents, respective
ly.
The American farmer is not a stu
pid person. Let him once realize how
much he can save by a truck and he |
won't ask for good roads, he will de-
mand at the polls that the United
States government give him good |
roads. He already is asking in no un-
certain voice, which is why it can con-
fdently be predicted that the industry
Of the future which will be the biggest
IN the United States is neither rail-
roads nor automobile building (the
TWO present leaders, except farming),
Dut road making. When the farmers
If the nation insist on having their
wo and a half million miles Of mud
racks made into roads, highway
building will become the nations
premier industry.

MAKING OF ROAD
PROBLEM FOR EXPERTS
Complicated Factors in Building Mod
ern Highway

% Making modern highway involves
so many problems that expert engi-
neering, financing and construction all
play their part No longer will a mere
cutting down of trees and rough grad
ing a road bed serve the public.
Before a modern highway can be
properly and economically built, the
taxpayers must ask, and the experts
answer, a number of very pertinent
questions.
It must be determined what the
highway can, and second what it
should cost. Next, and intimately
concerned with the first, is the prob
lem of what sum yearly can, and what
sum should, be spent for maintenance.
The better the road in the beginning,
the less the necessary maintenance,
and vice versa.
If the road has several different
geographic sections, what types of
roads should be built for these? Road
built through swamp areas need one
type of foundation, that built on rocky
hills, another; some roads require ex-
pensive drainage foundations, others
do not.
What is the maximum traffic to be
provided for? This means planning
for the road five, ten, twenty-five years
hence, as well as tomorrow. Broad
way, New York, and Washington
Street, Boston, were planned for small !
traffic. Their narrowness causes mil |
lions loss yearly.
How much shall the taxpayers pay
for the road and how much the users? |
What proportion of the road and what |
on the horses, wagons, automobiles
and trucks? Tax too heavily, and the !

road isn't used; tax too lightly, and
the taxpayers suffers.
What shall be the location? How
much shall be put into reducing grade
and curve, and how much into width
and length? All these are pertinent
questions. Not knowing the answers,
no citizen can vote intelligently upon
road taxes or bonds.
Milford chronicle., 1923-10-05
! THE VITAL RURAL PROBLEM

The low prices the farmer receives
for what he produces and the high
prices he pays for what he must buy
involve several problems. But a more
vital problem is involved in the cheap
est thing the farmer uses. That is the
country school. It is too cheap. Re
ports received this year from about
half the counties in the United States
show that there are $4,000 One-teacher
schools in these counties and that the
average salary paid the teacher is
S729.00. The pit yis that thousands Of
teachers regard even that low aver
age as princely. In 20 States S,100
teachers of one-teacher schools re-
ceive less than $500 a year. In 80
States $3.50 teachers receive between
$500 and $4O0; in "a States, $3.50 re-
ceive between $400 and $500; in 40
States 8,367 receive between $500 and
5000; in AZ States 16,525 receive be-
tween 5000 and $500; in As States 49,
4S2 teachers receive between $500 and
$500 a year, or something near the
of $729. More than half the
teachers are thus accounted for but is
little consolation to them to know that !
the other half receive more than S729. !

ers in rural schools in 1928 is nearly
ready for printing for free distribu-
tion by the U. S. Bureau Of Education,

NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY
LEADS


Mothers in Anson County, North
Carolina, who canned $50 quarts of
soup mixtures and tomatoes for the
use Of their children during the win
ter haye given that food to be used in
the noon lunches which the children
will receive in school. This sort Of
preparedness is quite new and worthy
Of imitation. Hot school lunches are
known to be of great value to the
youngsters who consume them during
the winter. What could be wiser,
then, than for the mothers, who know
that their children will need them, to
prepare the food for their especial
beneft? ?-Baltimor Sun.
If every rural school had a canning
club and cooking club, or the two
combined in one, the hot lunch prob
lem would be solved for them. The
preparation of soup or a vegetable
stew would be a simple matter. In
some cities school children consider
themselves badly treated if they can
not have hot lunch every day. Under
weather conditions in most rural
communities the hot lunch at school
is more important than in the cities.
The delicious lunches that can be pre-
pared in these country schools would
make the city children envious.
