His work as a member of the board in the consolidated school of Garfield is worth copying. “If I might express a hope for the Mondovi school's further usefulness, it would be that you introduce a fully equipped manual training department. I hope sometimes also, to learn that von have formed a large consolidated district which embraces all the adjoining or nearby districts. We formed such a district seven years ago and it has proved a splendid success, providing letter schools for the outlying districts and unifying town and country. Our kid wagons gather up children for alxmt seven miles in all directions.
