How Far Should High School
Consolidation Go?
Quite generally over Ohio the
State Department of Education
is advocating the uniting of town
ships and village high schools,
leaving the first six grades where
they have been. The Research
Division of the College of Educa-
ton at Ohio State University as
sists in making studies to support
the need for larger high school
units.
The main points presented are,
first, to lower the average per
capita cost; second, to make pos
sible the offering of larger
range of subjects to be studied.
In order to secure state aid the
local district must levy for ope-
rating expenses a stated number
of mills on every taxable dollar
in the district.
There may be some unreason-
abely small high schools in Ohio.
Let us put enough of them to-
gether to make a high school
(Junior and Senior of say $50
or 300 pupils within contiguous
territory. Grant that the tuition
cost per pupil may be lessened
very little; grant also that a
greater variety of subjects may
be offered. There are other
things to be considered; the
larger the classes the less the
plodder or slow developer will
have opportunity to receive per-
sonal attention; the tendency of
many teachers no, recitation
osts" is to set the rate of pro,

today although still a patient in
Seattle's Swedish Hospital, he is well
enough to have made plans to enter
another hydroplane race in the East

aid and luck" he grins.
His attending physician has a more
concrete explanation.
Moments after Cantrell was
pulled from the water" according
to the doctor, "a Gold Cup physician
treated those terrible burns with
Vaseline petroleum jelly and bound
the burns tightly in surgical dress
ing.
"In the hospital, we treated him
with heavy doses Of an antibiotic
compound a combination of penicil-
lin and streptomycin.
"The prompt application Of petro-
leum jelly and the later treatment
stopped infection, which in the case
of burns as bad as Cantrelrs could
have been fatal" the physician said.

The World Today

WASHINGTON lPD-Everybody
says poor Gen. Eisenhower and
Gov. Stevenson; they must be aw-
fully tired from this campaigning"
It's been tough on them, all right.
But it's time somebody began to
sympathiZe with the voters. It's
been pretty tough on them, too,
trying to keep up with the cam
paigners.
After the Chicago conventions
last summer the unsuccessful can
didates, who had been campaign
ing around the country for the
nomination, scattered in all direc-
tions for a rest.
But that was only the starting
point for Eisenhower and Steven
son. They spent the month of Aug
ust mostly getting their campaign
organized, with only a few days
out for vacation.
Their ordeal began with the ar
rival of September. Now, after a
month of planes, trains, rear plat
form talks, major speeches, motor
cades, handshaking and speech
writing they must be completely
weary.
Yet they still have month to
go. But SO do the voters who SER
iously try to follow the whole cam
paign. Not only Eisenhower and
Stevenson, but Sen. Sparkman and
Sen. Nixon and President Truman,
too.
Just trying to keep tabs on what
they're all saying would be a mon
umental task for any man who
attempted it in his living room
with the help of his newspapers,
radio and TV set.
To do it in an orderly way he
would have to keep a file: not Just
a day by day file but a topic by
topic file, broken down into what
each one said on foreign affairs,
taxes, Korea and all the rest.
That itself would only be a
starting point. For then the serious
man who attempted such a project
would have to examine what each
one said on each topic for contra
dictions and for comparison with
what the others said.
Too much already has been said
for any Individual to keep it all
filed in his head, and it would be
a rare voter who kept any other
kind of file Most voters probably
retain general impressions and
pieces of what's been said.
The present campaign is the ira
ditional kind, since the candidates
seem to think the endless talking
and repetition and personal ap-
pearances have the magic for
election
1t was suggested before the cam
paign began that Eisenhower and
Stevenson could help everyone to
better understanding and ap-
praisal of both of them if they'd
meet face to face in a radio-TV
debate.
