. large, new, modern buildings, with auditoriums, gymnasiums, and rooms for science, agriculture, shop work, cooking, etc., in addition to classrooms, good modern heating plants and proper Ventilating systems. The consolidated school provides school buildings and grounds designed to safeguard and promote the children's health, supplies them with an abund- ance of mechanical means necessary for work and recreation, and develops in them an idea of the aesthetic. As far as the course of study is concerned, the consolidated school gives a considerable choice of subjects, in addition to the essential ones, so that the pupil may follow the lines of his own interests or necessities. It provides a group of professionally trained, experienced, and supervised teachers with whom he may become acquainted. In a great number of cases transportation is furnished to and from school. The consolidated school may cost more because it is necessary to transport the pupils from their homes to the school. If, however, we count costs in terms of better schools and happier children, we certainly receive much greater returns for the money we spend. There are at the presnt time 86,000 one-teacher schools i11 the United Statesland some of them are so small that only two or three pupils are in regular attendance.

This question arises, would the patrons of many consolidated schools in the United States go back to the old way? In Iowa 1,400 farmers living in 56 consolidated schoo-l districts were asked this ques- tion, and nine out of every ten answered No, and some were very emphatic in answering No, J. E.
