GOOD ROADS' RELATION
TO GOOD SCHOOLS
Where You Find Good Roads
You Tvlay Look tor Good
Schools.
The rural population is more
willing to support better schools
today than any previous time. It
is being realized that all educa
tional activities or agencies must
be more or less correlated, and,
more than all else, that they must
he made accessible to the chil
dren. Ir. many counties where
bad roads prevail, most of the
schools are of the antiquated one
room variety. They are usually
located along bad roads which,
during the winter, wh e n
the schools are usually
in session, become so nearly
impassible as to make it difficult
for tlu children to reach them.
This condition causes irregular at
tendance md restricts the educa
tional opportunities of the child.
Not < :»iy this, but it often impedes
the economic consolidation of the
smaller s hools into larger, strong
er graded schools, with high
school courses, directed by a com
petent principal and corps of
teachers, according to the offie'e
iof Public Roads, United States
; Department of Agriculture.
On Ihe oilier hand, in counties
i which.have improved their roads,
the hools .re easily reached, the
'aw.rage attendance greater, the
jeificiency largely increased and
economic consolidation made ;x>-
sible. Regular attendance at
school means consistant and reg
ular growth of both school and
I pupil, and consolidation of schools
1 means a maximum of efficiency at
a minimum of cost. It is also
noteworthy that there is a marked
tendency for the consolidated
school to become the social and
intellect u il center of the commun
ity. Most modern rum school
houses are so constructed as to
serve the community as gathering
places of various kinds of public
meetings, and where vans are
used to convey the children to
sch> o’ during the day they are
frequently pressed into service to
haul the farmers and wives to in
stitute work, lectures, or enter
tainments at the schoolhouse.
The consolidated school becomes
a sort of community center to
which all educational n 1 social
activiti s converge, and i * order
