glutted. We had almost a monopoly

Roads and Schools

With the enormous amount of d.
liieracy in the United States. educa-
ton is generally conceded 10 be one
OF the greatest OF our economic prob
lens. To show the extent OF that
problem as i, appears in the light Of
educational methods and facilities OF
a bygone age. still largely in use IN
this country. Frank p. Graves, New
York commissioner Of education. sets
forth some startling statistics.
According 10 these. IS SET about
onc-fourth OF the total rural school
enrolment and IS per cent Of the
rural teaching corps are housed in
one-room schools OF the crudest sort
There are upwards OF 2c00oo -
these one-room buildings in Unite
States. and a fairly large percentage
OF them were constructed at least q
years ago. despite the fact that school
architecture and equipment have been
advancing by leaps and bounds during
that ime. Four-hfths OF them have
no provision for heating and ven,ila-
ton, except the old uniacketed stove
and the rickety windows. and nine
tenths OF the buildings are not pro-
pcrly lighted In at least % per cen;
the seating is poor and unadins;ahlc
and otter where the seats cou'd be n
ranged 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 mini
mum amount OF Standard training
that is, two years beyond the high
school--in the country less than one
twentieth have so qualified. and the
turnover in rural teachers each year
is just abou, so per cent
One OF the most effective answer
to such conditions has been found ir
consolidated schools, in which many
children can be accommodated. bro
from miles around and returned to
their homes by motor bus.
But this solution to the problem o.
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. iher,
will be no problem OF rural educa-
ton.
The consolidation movement has ,
grown to such proportions that many
normal schools and colleges are Civ
ng special courses preparing superin-
'enden,s to manage fleets Of motor
,usses transporting children to and
rom consolidated schools
