The superintendent called attention to the fact that only three major 1 uilding projects have been carried out in the county in about the past quarter century; ahd that even two of these are already bicoming overcrowded. Some other communities are yet using buildings constructed in the past century for far different than those under which we are now living. He called attention to the fact that

the operation of the smaller schools is becoming increasingly expensive, especially in the high school departments, because there many teachers can be assigned only four or five classes totalling, in some cases, only 50 or 60 pupils; whereas, in larger schools, one teacher may often take care of a total of 150 to 200 pupils in all his classes. It was pointed out in the discussion that opposition to the county joint school corporation proposed in; the meeting last spring was headed in many cases by those who had no real idea of the effect it would have on school organization. The superintendent called attention to tire fact that even if such a plan were adopted it would still be entirely in the hands of the trustees elected by the people to determine how schools should be organized and where and when new buildings should be erected.

“It was further noted that a number of proposals have been made for joint action by two or more townships to secure new buildings which would bring together enough pupils into one building to make more economical operation and more, convenient transportation possible. The superintendent declared he was in favor of any of these proposals on which the people of any community could get together to enlarge the school district.

“The only urged on the trustees was that plans should be worked out within the next few months so that definite movements could be set on foot in time to secure one or mipt'e buildings to be available by the fall of 1949. “The superintendent asked to have the privilege of meeting with interested groups a-nywhere in the county to talk over any of the suggested plans for getting more efficient schools.” ff DALE MOSES (Con tlx n<-a from rage ” heavyweight, division by pulling 7,500 pounds the required distance.
