MRS. GREENBERG IN LEAGUE RADIO TALK noveis dren school ly moving. scholastic current of _ the modern township high school. Inâ€" evitably many withdraw, and the rest, for the most part, â€" flounder along pathetically. No other state in the n preaanemens MB nds L â€"ADMT Th Thursday, Maren £9, 200# To those familiarâ€"with â€"theâ€"princiâ€" ples of economics it is apparent that the conduct of multiple units within a single system inevitably results in inefficiency and waste. Worse yet, a sense of defeat, through lack of actâ€" uatâ€" acocmplishment, is created â€" in the pupils. Education is the basis of activity in adult life. Every child, therefore, in â€"our complex â€"civilization must be equipped with some skill,â€" an art, a science, a craft, if he is to be saved from the human scrapâ€"heap â€"the degration of the_ "breadâ€"line." Ultimately deficient schooling is inâ€" jurious both to individual and to the state. ; e n en o The proposed bill for the larger school _unit _ provides . in _ substance "that within 90 days after the law goes into effect there shall be elected by popular vote a county board Of education, consisting of five members, one each from five different districts within the county. Each county in thestate is to be constituted a school district. ~ Accordingly there would be the present 12,000. 18: (1) To levy a tax annually for the traveling expenses of the board, for equipment and supplies, for the salâ€" aries and traveling expenses of asâ€" sistants of the county superintendent of schdols. mt n m sn c (2) To employ an adequate numper of assistants such as clerks, helping teachers, nurses and attendance ofâ€" ficers. The duty of the helping teachers shall be to visit schools not otherwise supervised and give the teachers help. (3) The board of education is to make a -g:mrof common school disâ€" tricts and prepare a map indicating how these districts may be united into larger school districts, the school to be located at a natural community center. : ; (4) The board shall call an elecâ€" tion on the question of consolidating if 20 per cent of the legal voters of 3‘3 proposed larger district shall peâ€" on. * hTe larger school unit would autoâ€" matically reduce the operating . exâ€" penses, and release w1m> funds for essentially educa purposes. The administration, j t.l;o teinchinn{ staff, and the <~physical equipme would necessarily be more efficient, and eventually more economical, from the standpoint of concerving the chilâ€" dren‘s time and interest and the taxâ€" payers money.

These buildings could serve as communal centers. _ 7 5. â€" Transportation would be proâ€" vided forâ€"children living _beyond & 2â€"mile radius of â€"the communal grave problems for in rainy seasons the dirt roads were wellâ€"nigh impassâ€" able. This obstacle no longerâ€"exists for lIllinois‘ network of concrete highâ€" ways~ is unrivalied, thus facilitating consolidation. fying could be served at a nominal cost. & c the functioning of the larger school cluded the wealthier â€"communities, usually having fewer children, as well as the poorer districts, having, as a. rule, more school children. Better Progress » Studies conducted by educators in various states proved conclusively that pupils in graded schools made more noticeable progress than those in oneâ€"room schools, and, further that the cost of éduut@hfii“ pupil was less in the graded school than in the oneâ€"room school. It is not necessary to travel far afield in search of proof. "Within our own state there are a few eminently â€" successful â€" consolidated schools: for example, in McHenry county ten school districts united to form one large, splendidly â€" equipped modern public school. It is patent to all intelligent obâ€" servers that our country schools are not operating efficiently, and since our population is primarily agriculâ€" tural, it behooves us to bestir ourâ€" selves in behalf of their urgent need. Unless we elevate the standard of ~â€"â€"Equalâ€"educational opportunity THE PR ESA thrane! 2. Inâ€" education of these less favored ones our own must inevitably descend by imperceptible degrees to the level of the weightier group numerically.
