CONSOLIDATION PROGRESS

One hundr'ed and four one-room
schools were eliminated through con-
solidation or other agencies in the
State of Washington during the year
ending June 80, 1925, according to a
report from the State Department of
Education in that State, and only 8
per cent of the elementary school chill
dren were taught in one-room schools.
Pacific county, which maintained
one-teacher schools enrolling 1913 pu-
pills, had the smallest number of such
schools in Washington that year.
Recently the board of education of
Montgomery county, Alabama, re-
ported to the United States Bureau
of Education that their last one
teacher school had been closed. There
are at least two other States, Utah
anu Chic, in which some counties have
succeeded in providing grade school
advantages to all rural pupils.

T II E II o C X .

Elijah, boldest and most Jealous of
all the great Hebrew prophets-a man
so great in his day and generation
that the sacred writers aver God
spared him the grave and sent down a
chariot which carried him up to
heaven-was now and then a pes
simist.
And we of today who are not proph-
cts but humble wafarers on life's jour
ney are bound in an agitated age like
this to have our clouded days-per-
haps even elouded weeks and months
when, if we lean upon our own
knowledge or our darkened reason, we
shall be disconsolate.
Even though we are able to tell our
selves that God reigns and that His
truth, His loving mercy, His righte-
BUSINESS, must prevail to the end, the
strife still filling the world is too
much for our habitual optimism. The
cheerful assurances of our friends
that all this hatred, this pushing aside
humanity for the methods of the jun
gle, is working for good, leaves US
cold.
The PHILOSOPHY of chirp", as OPP
timism in a troubled era has been
called, may even give our somber
mood offense. If so, let us recall how
even the mighty servant of God who
three thousand years ago came out of
Tishbe on the borders of the desert
was wont to become fretful. How he
did chide Israel. How impatient he
became-impatient no less with the
patience of God than with the way
wardness of men! But how submits
sive to the wisdom greater than mans
wisdom in the end!
At the moment when we seek him
for the purpose of today's study he
has just overcome the prophets of
Baal, and for the destruction he has
wreaked upon them has been warned
by Queen Jezebel that she means to
have his life by the next day. Driven
to flee, he goes into the wilderness,
and thence to cave in the mountains
of Horeb. The reader should turn to
Kings, xix 9-18, for the story.
There are two striking lessons in
that wonderful passage. The first is
the familiar one in regard to the man.
Hesitation of the Lord He was not in
the whirlwind, he was not in the fire,
he was not in the earthquake, or any
of the other mighty phenomena, but in
the still small voice. The thunder and
whirlwind of popular clamors and tu-
mults,5 the pomp and splendor of
