to school consolidation in Muscogee!
county and Columbus- This subject]
is interesting here as there has]
been some agitation for consol ida-1
Hon of the Athena and Clarke
county schools:
.t’That the proposed consolida-
■ tion of city and county schools
[ would lead to greater efficiency
| and economy and administration of
the county schools was the state -
[ ment made yesterday by Felix L-
■ Jenkins, member of the a county
f. board of education, who discussed
Uie advantages ef consolidating
the two systems.
| “In preparing for uniting thej
r city and rural schools, wnieh w»J
earnestly hope and believe wil 1
I come about, the county board lot
I education has for several years I
r ben working to consoiiuate ourl
; rural achools," Mr. Jenkins stated]
to a representative of the Enquirer-
“We have been fairly successful
r in that the aouth end of the coun
ty is now taken care of by a mod-
n ern four-room ichool building at
Midway. A two-room addition will
be built thla summer to the Mid
land achool. which will furnish fa
cilities for Upatoie, Flat Eock and
Midland communities, giving a
four-room plant to the Midland
community.
"During 1921-22 the Fortson and
Rochelle schools were consolidated
at Nankipoh. which was the first
move toward the consolidation of
Ml the achools in the northwest
portion of the county at this point.
If this consolidation is completed
by 1926, there will bo only four
school buildings In Muscogee coun
ty, Including Bibb City, outside of
Columbus. There will therefore bo
no burden for new buildings in tho
Immediate future in the rural sec
tions.”
BEING PEOPLE 1
TOGETHER
Mr. Jenkins is* of the opinion that
the consolidation of city and county
schools will bring urban and rural
P’ dple closer together than any
other one thing which could be at
tempted at thia time.
“It will give the rural child the
advantages of schools just as good
as the city achools and place tho
possibility of high school education
at his door,” Mr. Jenkins said.
Sentiment is very, strong for
consolidation of tho two school
systems. The county board of edu
cation has endorsed the proposal
and all the members of the i board
are hojwful that the movement will
be successful- At the request of
the bosrd. the directors of the
(Tiamher of Commerce have en
dorsed tho consolidation suggestion.
“There arc a nutnber of reasons
why the people of the rurnl sec
tion favor consolidation. It would
make the grades uniform with
tohso of tho city in instruction, tho
same books being used, giving the
rural child nn equal start with his
city brother when they enter high
school. H would give all of Mus
cogee county such a system as
■ri||vni new settlers. We
teachers in our rural
... at the present time. The
m system of consolidation will
enable them to give better instruc
tion.'..Under the present system
many teachers arc being forced to
teach several grades. Under the
proposed system the number of
these o-rades would be reduced per

Every evening just at dusk,

A youth trodding along,

His merry smile,

Along his way.
He was life in his vchoolroom,
He was life in his home. i
lie was life everywhere he chanced
to roam.
But now—no longer is heard
The familiar echo of his tread,
His voice is also stiiled.
A place is vacant in his homo,
A place that cannot be filled,
For God in his wisdom called

Still shines forth every day, •
