CONSOLIDATION 1 IS VISIONED AS SCHOOL ANSWER Improved Opportunities for Education, Huge Saving Cited by Wisehart. A saving of millions of dollars annually could be worked out in Indiana high and grade schools, coincident with material Improvement of educational opportunities, through consolidations, Roy P. Wisehart, state superintendent of public instruction, said today. The statement was made by Wisehart in commenting upon the statement of O. L. Mcßeynolds, superintendent of Cynthiana schools, before members of the Tri-State Phi Delta Kappa organization in Evansville. Mcßeynolds estimated the potential annual saving at $4,600,000. Wisehart said he was not prepared to estimate the saving so definitely, but certainly it would run high. Working Toward Goal “We steadily are working out Just such a proposition,” Wisehart said, “arid within a few years, it should be well along toward completion. “This matter falls right In line with the good roads movement, inasmuch as we must have good roads before it will be practicable to take students to and from distant schools. “There now are 130 or more high schools in Indiana with twenty-five or fewer students. In each school, there must be at least four instructors, and even with this minimum staff, the educational opportunities are limited. Similar situations exist In grade schools.” Aid Problem Linked Wisehart indicated that the state aid school problem, which is costing the state more than $1,000,000 annually, likewise is linked with the consolidation proposal. A large proportion of the school districts where consolidations should be effected, are those in which the bulk of state aid money is going, Wisehart pointed out. Economies in operation of consolidated schools in these districts, he said, should go a long way toward relieving the existing poverty-stricken condition. "In some counties,” he concluded, “more than half of the schools could be eliminated, at a great reduction in cost of operation, and a corresponding increase in educational opportunities, if we had the highways on which to transport students to the schools. Our progress toward solving this matter probably will be governed largely by progress in construction of all weather roads.” Huge Fire Department Jtv United Press ENID, Okla., Feb. 7.—Each of the eight firemen at Central station here is six feet tall.

IRENE BORDONI SUED BY FORMER MATE Thought Annullment Ended Things; Handed Divorce Summons. By United Press NEW YORK; Feb. 7.—lrene Bordoni, the actress who went to so much trouble to have her marriage to E. Ray Goetz annulled last year, has learned with surprise tllat she is being sued for divorce. Goetz’ attorney had a summons served on Miss Bordoni as she stepped to the microphone to sing a song for the radio audience. It was all quite baffling and irritating to Miss Bordoni, who had presumed that when a marriage is annulled, that ends everything. "Ett is ridiculous,” she stormed. “This man Goetz is trying to crisscross me.” Goetz’ attorney said the summons was served because one that was handed to Miss Bordoni a year ago was voided because it was served on Sunday.
