Consider the results of this on the numbex who would continue at school and take up High School studies... -€6.Because of ‘the availability . of Continuation work and more attrac- tive ‘school conditions’ and the’ privi- lege of boarding at home many pupils stay for a longer peridd at school. <A comparison of 3 Consolidated School} townships with District.

What are the edvantages from. the standpoint of School Buildings, Ad- ministration, and Organization? 1. Better supervision, , Under the present District School system the In- spector.cannot; visitioftyner than twice a year; and mistakes which are now neglected would be seen and’ remedied by the experienced Principal who sup- ervises the work of the other teach- _ers in. the Consolidated School, 2. An aneeee enrollment, seo in- creased average attendance. In 16 schools in Amabel township, Bruce county, including 5 Union Schools, the number on. the.roll-for 1920 was 481, and the-average attendance was $21. The average attendance was 74.4 per cent. of the enrolment. In the 9 schools ii’ Arran township the en-| vTolment last. year was 221 and the average attendance 149. Here the average attendance was 87.7 per cent. This is. fair, but under Consolidation both the enrolment and the average attendance would be increased. Ina large area investigated the enrolment before Consolidation was 3,185. chil- dren, . The same territory after Con- solidation .enroled- 4,814, a gain of 1,629 or 51 per cent. In the same area the average attendance before Consolidation was 2,107 or 66 per cent., whereas, after Consolidation it was 3.617 or 75 per cent, 8. Punctuality. The wagans, vans, cars or sleighs*run on schedule time, bringing thé children ‘to school warm, and with dry feet, so that the school may open sharp on time with all present, and the lessons may go on without interruptions. 4. Regular attendance. Fluctuation in attendance is also avoided. The ‘large number attending tends to keep the average much the same. Teachers who have had to change their day’s programme because. of the absence of 2 or 3 pupils and then had to go over the same work with them at some future time know the benefit this ‘would be. , 5. Economy. Instead of a teacher’s room, library, cloak rooms, toilets, halls and class rooms in every school, these are united in one. Economy is also effected in -recitation periods, energy and concentration of the teacher, length of time necessary to reach Entrance Examinations, time of Inspectors travelling -from school to schoal,..correspondence, ete. | 6. Hygienic conditions. This will be found ‘in the character and decora- tions ‘of the ‘class’ rooms, lighting, heating, ventilation, ‘single desks, water, toilets, transportation, play grounds and play’ equipment, and the} necessary, number of children! making possible vigorous, enthusiastic and health-giving’ play. 7. Improved. Community Life. This is brought about. by the equalization of taxation and opportunity, the ex- tension of-educational facilities to the whole community, good roads which follow in the wake of Consolidation, the provision of a_ dignified social centre, special. school equipment, a community playground, and developed leadership...

If seven rural schools con- solidated the township grants would be paid on the basis of the seven rural] schools. 8. If the community decides to build a Community Hall in connection with the School—the Hall is usually built above it—the grant will be 25 per cent. This is pro- vided according to the Community Hall Act of 1919. But how about the blocking of the roads in the winter? 2 This difficulty, which. at. first ap- pears formidable, has never yet proved a serious diffieulty; even:in the schools in Northern Ontario and further west. ‘During one year in Manitoba, under average conditions, there were 22 Consolidated Schools with 61 vans which reported only 22 trips missed in one year, an average of: only one trip per school in the year.. At. Hud- winter roads are as bad as anywhere in Ontario, for the winter of 1917-18, not one trip was missed. Their routes. -are 6 miles long. One stormy day recently 100. per cent. were present, whereas, in*a nearby school, only 40 ‘per cent. were present because of the storm. Other phases of this problem might be presented. df interested send to the Dept. of Education for their latest pamphlet on Consolidated Schools which will give you many of the facts presented here, worked out in great- er detail, as well as many other facts of interest.
