local level. In 1866 the Nevada legislature
made the county the school district unit.
For many years Utah has used the county
as the basic district unit.
Montana study groups should give careful
consideration to the u S. Office of Educa-
tion report Especial Series s. of reorgani-
zation efforts in the sixteen states studied.
The following in the footsteps of many of
these states by Montana would likely result
in the same meager attainments. In all of
these states there has been a general failure
of people in the better organized districts
to realize that they are affected by the
kind of district organization in other areas
This is particularly true in Montana where
the county and the state as we'll as the
school districts are major bases of finan-
cial support of schools.
There are no easy roads to adequate
school district reorganization.

A ReCuntution

Three years ago, in the PEOPLES
South Valley Farmers Union that members
of the State Board of Education should be
elected by the people rather than appointed,
as they are now, by the Governor. | re-
marked that the real chance to improve
the decisions of boards of education is to
get those boards into closer relation to the
teachers, those persons who by their con-
tinued and collective experience have good
reason to know what the schools need. |
ventured that our schools are soon to be
improved, not by the discovery by the public
that appointed boards are controlled and
selfish, but by the discovery by the boards
that their own decisions can be much bet
ter informed and much more effective if
they are made in counsel with teachers.
Teachers might we'll elect their own mem
bers to boards of education. Doctors and
preachers and lawyers elect their own
members to boards that control their pro-
fessions.
l still think all that is good logic for the
State Board of Education, but l must recant
the point so far as it applies to local school
boards. In 1854, asked care the elected
members of our grade-school board, in Mis-
soula, more worthy than the members of
the county high-school board, appointed by
the county commissioners" | today do not
know that they are more worthy person
ally but l am fully convinced that their
performance is ever SO much more salts
factory in it's responsiveness to the ideas of
teachers and the solicitations of citizens in
terested in the schools as cultural institu-
tions. And 1 now suppose that the greater
responsiveness is directly owing to the abil-
ity of the community to bring their ballots
to bear on the board members. In a COM
munity where the citizens have a good
chance to know the quality of the candi-
dates for board membership 1 believe it is
wise for the board members to be elected
by the people.-EDMUND FREEMAN.

combination of these agencies as pri-
marily responsible for carrying out school
district reorganization.
Seven of the states used commissions
composed of members with overlapping
terms of office of four to six years.
In fourteen of the sixteen states pro-
vision was made for the establishment of
county committees to work under the di-
rection of the state agency.
In all of these states full-time profess
sional help was given the responsible state
agency or commission Regional and state
conferences were held, standards developed,
manuals and guides were prepared, and
provision was made for public hearings.
All of these states had state aid pro-
grams. The u S. Office of Education made
this statement regarding these programs:
"Thus, most State aid programs not only
lacked positive features providing incen-
tives for reorganization but they also had
other features which would exert a mega
tive influence. Particularly was the latter
true with respect to the favored financial
treatment given small districts"
Results varied widely. Idaho and New
York succeeded in reducing the number of
districts by more than three-fourths. In
other states such as Iowa, Kansas, Penn
sylvania. North Dakota and South Dakota
the programs did not get off the ground.
At the outset the programs were character
lied by considerable activity on the part of
county and state redistricting committees.
AS time went on activity withered on the
vine and accomplishments to date have
been meager.
In the sixteen states covered in this
u. S. Office of Education study, the pattern
was one of using state and county commits
sions and encouraging local initiative. A
more direct legislative approach has been
used by other states.
In twelve of the southern states county
district system has been established.
Though the making of a county one school
district may be subject to certain theoreti-
cal criticisms, state legislatures have found
that this kind of reorganization can be
brought about by legislative action and
the implementation not bog down on the

These tentative implications are ad-
vanced:
l. The more heavily populated a Mon
tana county, the greater has been the
tendency to multiply the number of high
schools, both large and small.
g The use of Montanas equalization ex-
penditures bears no positive relationship
to sparsity of population. After correction
for area differences, high schools in the
most thinly settled areas receive in general
the smallest amounts per student of state
equalization aid
8. Because of necessity in early years
sparsely settled counties may have evolved
the most effective district organization.
REORGANIZATION IN MONTANA
Eventually, if Montana people wish the
most return for the educational dollar and
an effective competing position for teach
ers with other western states, reorganiza-
tion of school districts will take place. Gre
organization" is bad word in Montana
(also in other states) This creates a tend
ency for interested groups to walk around
the basic problems. The present foundation
program lacking its necessary counterpart
of reorganizational provisions tends to per-
petuate inefficient school district organi-
zation. Il
The Commission of 1945 presented a
well-formulated program to the 1947 Leg
isative Assembly. AS in many other states
the road between proposals by an informed
commission and subsequent legislative en-
actment and development turned out to be
long. The 1869 school districts of 1945
dropped to 1173 in 1866. The numbers are
deceiving For the most part this has repre-
sented the annexing of small rural districts,
many of which were not operating schools
in 1945. No significant reorganization took
place during this decade.

Frefighters' Labor GiUes Birth
To Exciting NeU Carnival Grounds

Hours of volunteer labor donat
ed by Rockville volunteer firemen
are paying off in the form of a
streamlined new carnival grounds
that will be ready for this years
event scheduled for August SIT.
A major problem arose this
year when the State took 80 feet
of Rockville pike frontage from
the firemen in connection with
the widening of Wisconsin ave.
extended from Bethesda to Rock
vile.
AS a result, the firemen RACED
the old dance pavilion and built
a new one farther back from the
road at a cost of $4,000. They
also relocated the various stands
used for games and attractions.
The carnival is the fire depart
ment's principal Embarrassing eff
fort of the year. The city has not
resorted to a fire tax as a fund
raising device, principally be-
cause of the success of the annual
carnival.
This years attractions will in-
clude dozens of rides for both
young and old. Nightly dancing
and entertainment will be offered
