MONCLOVA TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL Monclova Township School District has at Monclova, Ohio a small village in Lucas County, a typical consolidated school. A small one-room school was built here in 1860. This building remained here until 1879 when a small two-story brick building was built. The upper room was used as the town hall while the lower room consisted of two schoolrooms. In 1912 Monclova Township built an up-to-the minute modern centralized school house compared with the few brick and wooden one-room buildings which they formerly had. Some pioneers or fore- fathers of the township early realized the handicaps under which pupils were laboring to acquire just a common school education. An addition to the plant was built in 1916 at a cost of 560,000.00 ex- clusive of equipment. The complete plant at the present time is probably worth close to 3l50,000.00. In the building are included not only class rooms but a large study hall, laboratories, offices for the superintendent and principal, gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria. The district has a valuation at the pres- ent time of 32,l64,730.00 with a total tax of 1.4 mills and the territory covers an area of approximately 36 square miles. There are 350 pupils trans- ported daily in the three school busses. No pupil is on the bus longer than 30 minutes. The equipment used is the best and is all classed in group nA.W Each driver carries liability insurance on his truck. The transportation service of the district has been very commendable. The school has increased in enrollment since its dedication until at pres- ent there are 365 pupils and a staff of 12 teachers. The six-six plan of or- ganization is used and all the teachers of the upper six grades have their de- grees and are teaching subjects in which they majored. This school has an elementary First-Grade charter granted November 1, 1929, as well as a secondary First-Grade charter granted March 28, 1919. The high school is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which in itself gives assurance of the best in library and school-room equipment, with only the highest type of teachers. During the past 10 years there has been a slow and steady increase of pu- pils. At this rate of increase the district does not need to worry about a building program for the next ten years. The school is further equipped with a motion picture machine and a radio used for instructional and entertaining pur- poses. The students and tax payers of this district are thoroughly sold on the school and its activities and give it loyal support. They believe that the ac- tivities connected with the school formulate ideas and ambitions in the minds of the pupils and patrons and inspire them to their best efforts, all of which will be valuable in later life. The rapid advance of the school and the cooperative community spirit indicates emphatically what can be accomplished in the rural districts or consolidated districts where people are working for a common cause and interest and also where the district is able to maintain a complete school system. Facilities for education have increased rapidly. Better trained teachers and longer terms are giving the rural boy and girl greater opportunity. The consolidated school gives more efficient instruction than the one-room schools were able to give. Important social and recreational activities are significant in mastering a spirit of cooperation. OUR SCHOOL BOARD A le are very proud of the five members of our board of education.
