THE GOAL 21 one-room school from 35 to 40 per cent. of the teachers are beginners, and from 20 to 25 per cent. have less than three years experience. In the Consolidated School only from 3 to 7 per cent. of the teachers are beginners, and from 9 to 18 per cent. have less than three years experience. The teachers of the Consolid- ated School and the school itself, leads to a better and higher education. The Consolidated School is a great social center. Literaries, lecture courses, and all sorts of entertain- ments are held in the large assembly room. In the one room schools, the room is crowded and get the enter- tainments are not nearly so good. In the Consolidated School, baseball, basketball and football teams are organized, and this assures athletic sports the year round. In the one-room school so few children attend that they cannot play many of the best games. They seldom see games played and are seldom taught new ones. Play is necessary in devel- oping a child's mind and body. Knowledge of home making and practical things which are used in every day life, are woven into minds ofthe pupils of the Consolidated School. Domestic Science and Manual Training are taught in the Consol- idated Schools. These studies are important and use- ful. and there is no room and no time for them in the one-room school. Pupils are transported to the Consolidated School by wagons properly heated by charcoal and insured against fireg because the fire cannot come out of the firebox even though the wagon upsets. The wagon is driven by a driver carefully selected by the Board of Education. A motor car is often used instead of a wagon. The children are safely transported. The competition in the Consolidated Schools is much greater on account of the number of pupils. This makes the work more interesting. So if the Consolidated School has proven successful and advantageous in all these instances. v-hy not have Consolitlated Schools in our own community? A lice Rinehart, Class of 1920. The Senior Class was entertained at the home of Prof. and Mrs. C. A. Sindlinger, Friday evening, April the twenty-sixth. mmmnuumum The C. H.
