Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 January 1913 — Consolidating the Schools. [ARTICLE]

Consolidating the Schools.

One of the problems that should receive the attention of every rural community this winter Is the matter of rural school consolidation. While it is not practical for every community to consolidate at this time, the advantages and possibilities of consolidation should be known and considered by everyone. Consolidation is one of the great modern movements that will tend to interest boys and girls in country life, increase the value of farm property, and better the conditions of life in the country.—Exchange.
