Excerpt from Consolidation of Country Schools Letters were sent to all the states of the Umon asking what had been done, if anything, and how it had succeeded. Opinions were collected both from professional educators and from farm ers who had experienced the workings of the system, all from sources the most diverse. Aside from this, a trusted agent of the institution visited the region In Ohio where the system had been longest in use, with instructions to note all the conditions found both favorable and unfavorable. The investigation was begun and conducted without bias or previously formed impressions as to the merits or demerits, ad vantages or disadvantages of this method of administering the school system. As the investigation proceeded, however, the conviction that is inevitable to anyone who really studies this question gradually forced itself upon the consciousness and, in spite of efforts to the contrary, the reader will detect its pres ence in the mind of the writer at the time of putting the data in final form.

Excerpt from The Consolidation of Country Schools, and the Transporting of the Scholars by Use of Vans The following Bulletin upon "The Consolidation of Country Schools and the Transportation of the Scholars by Use of Vans," was prepared by H. H. Longsdorf, M. D., of Dickinson, Cumberland county, Pa. The investigation was undertaken at the instance of this Department for the purpose of securing accurate data showing the methods and expense involved in the centralization of our public schools to a centrally located graded school, including the practicability of taking the scholars to and from the central school in comfortable conveyances. If the country schools cannot be thus centralized, then there is no possibility for their ever attaining the rank now enjoyed by town and city schools, and country people have no hope of ever being able to give their children the advantages in education to which they are entitled, unless they remove them from the country and send them into the towns. If, on the other hand, centralization is feasible, then a new era is begun in country life, and the question of the proper education of country children is completely solved. The inadequate character of the present system and the impossibility of its meeting the needs of country people, was discussed by me in a paper read before the State Teachers' Association, at its meeting in Williamsport last July, which shows the situation and expresses my views so exactly that I take the liberty of quoting from the paper in this preface. In that paper I state: "That if the country school is to fulfill its mission to its community as the hand-maid of agriculture, it must be different from the town school. It must be a school adapted to the needs of the community in which it is. It must he an adaption of education to need. The farmers needs are varied, most important and urgent. To meet them he must have the advantage of the best school; and the best school for him is the one that teaches him the things that he needs to know. "What does he need to know? What are the farmer's educational needs? As a man and a citizens his needs are precisely the same as those of other men and other citizens - fully as great; no less. He must be taught the things that other men and other citizens find it necessary to know - to read, to write, to compute.

Excerpt from The Consolidation of Rural Schools in North Dakota The chief support of a Republic is education. This being so, then the first and main purpose of an education in a Republic is to train the future citizens in such a way that they may appre ciate highly and participate intelligently in the various'govern mental activities; and second, to prepare these citizens to earn and enjoy a good living in the various fields of human endeavor. This is the prime and sole function of the common school, which includes the rural school. This the rural school once did, .but today it. Is failing in its mission when compared' with the city school. It has been a great institution. It is yet the greatest Americanizing agency in the rural community. In the major ity of states it is the most important educational institution, for it enrolls in these states the majority of school children, and. To the majority of them it gives the only school training they ever will receive. This is also true of our state. According to the latest available statistics there are now in the state public schools with an enrollment of pupils. Of that number of schools are rural (one-room) schools with an enrollment of This means that the great majority of school children in the state are enrolled in the rural schools. Thus i is most im portant that we improve in every way possible the rural school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Bulletin of Information Regarding Consolidation of Rural Schools, 1908 The most pressing educational problem to-day is the rural school. Our University, State Agricultural College and Normal Schools have attained a degree of excellence and efficiency unparalleled in the history of our state. The denominational institutions, the high schools, and even the village schools, all report remarkable prosperity and increased activity. The great wave of prosperity that has made the past decade the most marvelous in the development of material resources has also found expression in the educational field. The state has recognized this and at the last session of the legislature nearly two million dollars were given to three state educational institutions. Every true friend of education rejoices because of this liberality, and because of the many evidences of increasing advantages to the youth of our state. These institutions, including the high schools and village schools, have reached a condition where their future prosperity is practically assured. They have acquired a momentum that is bound to carry them forward surely and efficiently. The people of this state are fully aware of the value and worth of the work being done by this type of schools; it is a most pleasing situation and one of which the people of Kansas may well be proud. However, there is a phase of our school work that has not felt this forward impulse. I refer particularly to the rural school. It is the deliberate judgment of many of our best educators and closest observers that no such progress as we have above described is to be found in the common or country school. While all eyes have been turned to the high school, to the college, and to the university, it is feared that the welfare of the rural school has been sadly overlooked. While there are undoubtedly many excellent schools in the country to-day, and while many most capable and experienced teachers are working therein and doing their best for the children under their charge, yet the fact remains that a large percent, of the teachers of this class are inexperienced, and many are most indifferently equipped. Much has been hoped, because of the marked increase of salaries in the rural schools in recent years, yet statistics do not indicate that with larger salaries have come better teachers. Again, the average age of teachers in rural schools is continually lessening. In one county in eight years the average age has decreased from twenty-three to twenty years.

Excerpt from Consolidation of Rural Schools and Transportation of Pupils: August 1, 1911 The chief object of school district consolidation is to unite two or more rural districts having ungraded schools and to bring the pupils of the several districts to a central point where a graded school may be maintained. By so doing the disadvantages of the one-room school are largely eliminated, while the pupils from the rural districts can be given practically the same advantages that are enjoyed by the child in a city school without many of the disadvantages with which the city child is confronted.

Excerpt from Consolidation of Rural Schools and Transportation of Pupils at Public Expense Introduction, - "Consolidation of schools" is the term used when two or more school districts are made into a single district, one school in one building replacing two or more small schools in several buildings. In some States when but two schools are replaced by one, the new school is called a "union" school, the term "consolidated" being applied only when three or more schools are replaced by a single school. In other sections the term "consolidation" is used only in speaking of a school to which children are transported at public expense. When a single school is abandoned on account of the lack of sufficient pupils to keep it open, and the children attend school in a neighboring district, the term "consolidation" would seldom be applied. Consolidation in its best form takes place when schools not forced to close for lack of pupils are deliberately abandoned for the purpose of creating a larger school where more efficient, work may be done, or equivalent work at less expense. Ohio uses the term "centralization" instead of "consolidation," a centralized school being one located where it may be most convenient for the children of an entire township. Sometimes the "centralized" school is located in the village nearest the center; sometimes it is located in the open country. Some of the Ohio centralized schools are housed in two or more buildings; the usual number, however, is but one. Many Western States have schools which to all intents and purposes are consolidated or centralized schools, although they do not replace older one-teacher schools. They are the original schools built to serve large territories and existing from their first establishment as two or more teacher schools. The two primary motives in the movement for consolidation have been and still are (1) for the purpose of securing better educational facilities, and (2) for the purpose of decreasing the cost of education on the school district. Considerable space is given to the discussion of both of these subjects later in this bulletin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Consolidation of Rural Schools in Manitoba The Agricultural College of the University of Illinois collected and published data re consolidation in 1904 at the request of the Illinois Farmers' Institute; and E. Davenport, Dean of the College of Agriculture, writes as follows in the preface to the first edition of the bulletin: "Letters were sent to all the States of the Union asking what had been done, if anything, and how it had succeeded. Opinions were collected both from professional educators and from farmers who had experienced the workings of the system, all from sources the most diverse. Aside from this, a trusted agent of the institution visited the region in Ohio where the system had been longest in use, with instructions to note all the conditions found both favorable and unfavorable. "The investigation was begun and conducted without bias or previously formed impressions as to the merits or demerits, advantages or disadvantages, of this method of administering the school system. As the investigation proceeded, however, the conviction that is inevitable to anyone who really studies this question gradually forced itself upon the consciousness and, in spite of efforts to the contrary, the reader will detect its presence in the mind of the writer at the time of putting the data in final form. "It is therefore the more necessary to assure the reader that this conviction arose during and by virtue of this investigation, and that it did not exist in advance; indeed, there was no opportunity for preexisting opinions, because the writer had never before given the slightest attention to the details of the subject." In the preface to the second edition, he says: "In the further study of this subject in its application to Illinois, there has quite unexpectedly come to the surface the surprising fact that in spite of all the arguments as to the impossibility of transporting pupils over "bad roads," the facts are that they are being transported now in large numbers, and have been for years all over the State, often travelling as far as seven miles and back daily during a high school course. True, it is being done at private expense and often for several members of the same family. But it is done, and many vehicles follow each other daily at all seasons and in all kinds of weather over all the roads of the State leading to high schools, and it is well within the facts to state that without a doubt more horses are actually employed in Illinois today in transporting the older children to village high schools, and more miles are travelled than would be necessary to transport all the children to central schools if the horses were coupled together and hitched to proper vehicles.
