CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS AND
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS
Good Roads Answer to One Room
Country School Problem.

With the enormous amount of
ilhteracy in the United States, educa-
ton is generally conceded to be one
of the greatest of our economic pro-
blems. To show the extent of that
problem as it appears in the light of
educational methods and facilities of
bygone age, still largely in use in
this country, Frank P. Graves, New
York Commissioner of Education,
sets forth some startling statistics.
According to these, as yet about
one-fourth Of the total rural school
enrolment and As per cent of the
rural teaching corp are housed in
one-room schools of the crudest sort.
There are upwards of 100000 of
these one-room buildings in the
United States, and fairly large per-
centage Of them were cor ctructed at
least 40 years ago, despite the fact
that school architecture and equip
ment have been advancing by leaps
and bounds during that time. Four
fifths Of them have no provision for
heating and ventilation, except the
old unjacked stove and the rickety
windows, and nine-tenths of the
buildings are not properly lighted.
In at least 80 per cent the seating is
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1924-03-22

poor and unadJustable, and often
where the seats could be arranged to
suit the pupil, this has never been
given consideration. Where in the
cities some four-fifths of the
teachers have had at least the
minimum amount of standard train
/ ing-that is, two years beyond the
high school-in the country less than
one-twentieth have no qualified, and
the turnover in rural teachers each
year is just about 80 per cent.
One Of the most effective answers
to such conditions has been found in
the consolidated school, in which
many children can be accommodated.
brought from miles around and re-
turned to their homes by the motor
bus.
But this solution to the problem
of how to get good rural education
is possible only where there are good
roads. In the days to come, when
national highways gridiron this coun-
try, as they undoubtedly will, there
will be no problem of rural educa-
ton.
According to the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, the
consolidated school movement began
in Massachusetts, in the early seven
ties. For many years horse-drawn
vehicles were then used in carrying
children to and from school within a
radius of seven miles. Parents
gradually began to see the many
advantages of the large schools over
the old little red schoolhouse.
With the motor bus children are
now transported for IS to 18 miles in
an hour School districts have in
creased in size, extending to so, IS
or 100 square miles in area. With
this development has come large
modern school buildings, improved
equipment and specially trained
instructors equal to that of the best
city schools. Motorized school
buses make possible these large,
modern rural school plants" They
tend to reduce the costs and to give
children better opportunities for
education.
The consolidation movement has
grown to such proportions that many
normal schools and colleges are Civ
ing special preparing superintendent
to manage fleets of motor buses
transporting children to and from
consolidated schools.
Patronage can't be substituted for
patriotism successfully.

Cats Deserted by Summer Campers
New Game Menace
By L. F. Van Zelm
8 Western Newspaper Uniaa

The domestic cat has become fac
tor in the wild life of upper Wiscon-
sin, has encountered aud successfully
met some woodland conditions, and
has died miserible death under
others.
Fourteen domestic eats were caught
in a single trap line. by one trapper,
operating near Star and Plum lakes.
The pets, ranging the forests, evident
ly are quick TO sense the baited traps,
naturally have no fear of the man
faint, greedily make for the meat
scraps or other lure that is set for
coyotes, foxes and wolves, and are
promptly clamped in the steel jaws
of the traps, set to clear the woods
of the maurauders against deer.
The cats obviously are brought into
the country by tourists or summer
residents, and are left to fend for
themselves when cottages are closedp
Probably there are several hundred of
them. They quickly become able and
savage hunters, prey heavily upon
rabbits and other small game, reach
the partridge with evident frequency
AS the tell tale tracks in the SHOWS
sketch The stories-and probably kill
chicadees, nut matches. cross bills and
other song birds, feeding now on the
low growing berries just above the
snow drifts.
70 trapers, the cats are nuisance.
Once caught in the traps they are
shot. Their injuries, from trap Jaws
will permit of no other course, even If
it were desirable that they be saved
But il is not desirable. Enough do
nestle cats, run wild, will offer new
form of 'varmint" In the forests, more
threatening to the small game than
are natural enemies. according TO
trappers and woodsmen.
Hunters, trappers and fOresters are
less concerned in the humane side of
the case, though admitting that some
of the cats may suffer. Their objection
is to bringing the animals into the
woods in the first place Tourists and
summer residents should, they say,
leave their cats home They are
nuisance in the woods, a potential
danger, and must either suffer or die
or be ktlled-fOr, If any appreciable
number of cats are permitted to revert
to wilderness tendencies, a cat-kill will
be needed to safeguard small game az
surely as IA wolf-kill now is needed, to
protect the Milwaukee Journal.
