of the new Balance Sheet early in
the week, the student body of Busi-
ness High School is busy preparing
TO properly observe this interesting &
event.

BY the Associate Press
NEW YORK, July 25.-One-teacher
schools to the number of 10000 still
exist in rural America, holdovers from
pathfinder days, Prof. Fanny w. Dunn
OF Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity, declared last night at ma
tlonal rural school conference held
under the auspices of the Columbia
summer session.
Between 100000 and 5000, 900
children receive their entire ele-
mentary education in these inStitu
tionS, she said.
1T is wrong and unjust that we
tolerate this inequality of educa-
tional opportunity" she declared. IF
one-teacher schools cannot give a
modern education, we should provide
the kind of school that can. The
nationwide movement for consolida
tion of schools is an effort to do just
this
Prof. Dunn admitted, however, that
for a long time to come 1t would be
impossible to consolidate all schools
She stated that much could be done
in the way of improving the present
schools, providing them with more
proficient teachers, better books and
facilities.
Other speakers included Miss Elma
Rood, director of health education.
