CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS AND
GOOD ROADS
Real Highways Mean Education in
Rural Districts.

The .little red schoolhouse," good
,stis is not as good as the big red
s.boolbouse. States which have
evnorimented in rural districts with
ne consolidated" schools (some-
times called union schools OF
centralized schools'') report a great
cain in education at little or no in
crease of cost.
The consolidated school" takes
tbe place of half a dozen or more
little red schoolhouses," collects the
several teachers, libraries and
facilities under one roof, and brings
ibe children to and takes them
from such schools via county operat-
ed motor buses, horse-drawn
vehicles or trolley cars.
The consolidated school flourishes
where good roads are. 1t cannot be
established where are only poor
roads
The Superintendent of Public In
sruetion in the State of Washington
sets forth as the advantages of the
consolidated school, that it provides
better school plant, j. e., makes
possible the erection and mainten-
ace of more modern school build
mgs and school equipment. 1t
B enables the district to increase the
teaching staff and to obtain better
trained teachers, and gives the rural
4 community the advantages of the
\ inform graded school. 1t makes
& possible tht establishment of high
4 school courses, and, in many in
stances, enable the rural district to
erect a modern high school building.
4 t provides special work, such as
manual training, domestic science,
etc., in the rural community, and,
finally, the consolidated school in
ueaSes community interest in COM
nunity activities by providing a
central meeting place under at
tactiye surroundings, making the
school the center of the community

FIRE AND ACCIDENT
PREVENTION DAY
Gov. Blaine Issues Proclamation
Designating October 9 as Fire
and Accident Prevention Day.
A Proclamation


Fire respects neither man. thing
or place; it is an enemy which never
sleeps; it destroys the resources of
field and forest, the products of
human labor, the palace and cottage,
the shop and factory; it robs labor
of employment, it lays waste cities
and country, it calls for thousands
of human victims each year, mostly
women and children; it always
wastes and never creates, save smoke
and ashes.
Nearly ten million in property and
seventy-five to one hundred human
lives is the annual toll Wisconsin
pays to the fire fiend. Neither
lives nor property can be brought
back by the payment of insurance.
Fire is constant drain upon our
resources, it raises costs, and places
a heavy tax upon individuals,
municipalities and the state.
Most fires are preventable, so
this sacrifice of life, limb and
property becomes specially lamen-
table, because it spells carelessness,
indifference and thoughtlessness of
our citizens.
1t is meet ard proper that we give
at ! east one day of sober, con
centrated thought to this problem of
waste. and its economic results.
For these reasons, |, John j. Blaine,
Governor of the State of Wisconsin,
do hereby designate and proclaim
Tuesday, the Ninth Day of Oct
ober, 1923, as Fire And Ac-
cident Prevention Day
| earnestly recommend that on this
day special exercises be held in all
public, private and parochial schools
and other public meeting places to
seriously consider the needless waste
of property, lives and man-power,
through fire and accidents, and the
best methods of prevention.
| urge that the week beginning
October s, be devoted to the elimina-
ton of fire hazards in homes, shops,
factories and public buildings, such
well-planned movement to be under
the direction of municipal auth
critics, commercial clubs or other
civil bodies, and that the press, the
pulpit and the school give their full
aid to make such movement a
success.
further urge, that on October 3
factories employing a considerable
number of workers conduct a fire
drill, and that, at all times, the
teachers in our public, private and
uarochial schools strictly observe the
provisions of state law requiring
monthly fire drills and definite in
struction in fire and accident
prevention.
In Testimony Whereof, / have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Wiscon-
sin to be affixed. Done at the
Capitol, in the city Of Madison, this
18th day of September, A. D., 1928.

Governor.

Chemistry Commerce Is New
Four-Year Course.

Because of the growing i'm
pOrtance of chemistry in modern
commerce and the demand for men
who are trained both in commercial
and chemical subjects, the University
of Wisconsin has recently establish
ed new four-year chemistry
Commerce course which starts this
week.
The new course, which is the first
in any university, is intended for
those students who wish to fit them
selves to hold commercial positions,
such as business managers, technical
secretaries, managerial secretaries,
purchasing agents, technical sales
men, and others, in which a thorough
understanding Of the basic principles
of chemistry would be a valuable
asset.
Men of affairs in the industrial
world are often seriously handicap
ped because they do not possess a
fundamental knowledge of the
technical principles involved in their
business" declares Prof. j. H.
Mathews, chairman of the chemistry
department, who is director of the
new Chemistry Commerce course.
1t is for students who are interest
ed primarily in the economic aspect
of industrial chemistry, rather than
the purely technical. They will be
given a wide acquaintance with com
mercial processes and materials of
commerce, rather than a narrow
detailed, technical knowledge.
Wisconsin university is the only
one which offers a four-year course
of this character. The develop
ment of this course has been made
possible because of the earlier strong
development of four year courses in
commerce in chemistry.
