What will They Do? at the annual town meeting in Merch it was voted that a committee of four citizens should assist the school committee in arriving at a solution to the school problem in Linington, and that this com ittee should report its recommendations to the next annual town meeting. what will their recommendations be ? The old story of consolidation is bound to come in for its share of praise and abuse during the process of committee investigation. Those for consolidation in some form - complete or modified - will argue : Our present schools are unsightly, in poor repair, badly located, and ill equlnped....Thoy are poorly lighted, hard to heat, and not ventilated at al1..... Teaching conditions in these eight-grade schools, never favor- able, are well-nigh intolerable in some localities, where overcrowded.... The cost of operation and maintenance of these small buildings is all out of proportion to the educa- tion value forthcoming from this type of echool....Fewer teachers would be needed in a centralized school, and each teacher would handle only two grades. ---- Those oomoscd to consolidation will say : New building costs are prohl5IEIvo.... The old buildings can be put in proper repair at a moderate cost.... Transportation costs for a centralized school in Limlngton would be enormous....Roads would be impassable for part of tho year....Parents do not want their children, especially the little ones, transported... There would be no educational advantage ln a consolidated systom.---- 5
