Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consolidated School in North Dakota This is the school that has at least two teachers and that serves the children residing in about eighteen sections, or that territory usually served by two rural schools. 1 This in substance is the general definition agreed upon by the Conference of, State School Inspectors held at Louisville, Kentucky, last April. It is immaterial as to how it is formed, whether it be by petition, election, or common con sent. The main thing is thatit serves well the general educational needs of'a fair sized rural community. There are in the state 273 consolidated schools. This number includes those organized during the past year and scheduled to be in operation during the coming school year. Of this number 38 were classified last year as state high schools and 25 as graded consolidated schools. These numbers will be materially increased this year. The great opportunity of this school is to provide better school work in the grades and better high school privileges to the country youth, which it is doing. Its greatest need is for sufficient state aid to pay for transportation which would put the rural and town patrons on nearly equal footing regarding equal school facilities. The consolidated school is the only school that can provide educational facilities that are as free and equal as those furnished to the city children. The rural school does not and cannot furnish such educational facilities. The prob lem to solve here is to unite the rural schools to form central or con solidated schools.
