Winning their. first basketball tilt of the season, the Douglas High, hoopsters displayed something of what is expected of them later on in the year in close, fast game with the D. F. D. quintet at the natatorium last night, the final score being 27 to 25.
 Getting the jump on their op- ponents at the very start Coach Kings charges kept the lead throughout the entire game. Once only were they tied, just for few seconds. But the lead at the start gave them the game, for the fire men made point after point during the second half which was 16 all.

 Peggys deep-drawn breath es- capped through her trembling lips with a low, hissing sound-there was no slit or hole in the bottom of the canoe.
 Back on the veranda Julia, with one eye on Peggy's distant figure, counted over for the sixtieth time the gold pieces in the palm of her black hand.
 Never before had she handled gold coins-their beauty fascinated her. Reluctantly she tied then securely in her handkerchief and with furtive look this way ano that, slid the handkerchief inside her dress.

The barefoot boy trudging his way to the
district school Of a generation ago is merely

counterpart of Winters engaging hero motors
to school, The advent Of the motor school bus
has greatly fastened the growth of the con-
solidated school idea and this year considerably
over one million American school children will
be transported from and to their homes at o
cost Of about $40, 900 0O0 paid for by the States
This is a large outlay, but 1t Is economically
sound, for the RELOCATION Of the one-room school,

the old oaken bucket is being brought about
rapidly by the consolidated school of which the
motor bus is the right arm, and the maintenance
Of large, better school is being found no
more expensive than the upkeep of a collection
of small, inadequate buildings.
One of the stanchest believers in the con-
solidated school is the new Federal commits
sioner of education, DR.. William John Cooper.
He says:
I'VE need a unit Of administration much
larger than that served by the one-teacher
school. The area Of administration should be
large enough to support complete school unit
elementary and secondary. If the area is very
sparsely populated, lodging and boarding at
the high school may be required as well as
good transportation facilities Enough ele-
mentary schools should be in the area to war
rant employing at least one trained supervisor"
According 70 the latest StatSt1cS OF the FED
eral Bureau Of Education there are more than
three-quarters of a. million school buildings in
the United States. OF these more than 10000
are one-room schools and 20 per cent Of the
public school teachers Of the country are re-
quired to man" them But in one recent year
there were $50 consolidated schools established,
bringing the total to nearly 17,000 and the
trend Is unmistakable.

vantages in them from an educational view
point, among them that attendance is best
in attractive schools, better grouping of pupils
is possible, conduct of pupils going to and from
schools is better curriculum enrichment is pos
sible, equipment is more extensive therefore
more useful; recitation periods are longer, be-
cause fewer in number; school activities are more
extensive because, of larger attendance; social
advantages, for both pupil and adult are bet
ter in the large rural school; supervision is
more effective, and teachers are given an OPP
poftunity to specialize.
