the township for a long term of years to erect a $6,000 modern
and up—to-date school building. This building stands in the center
of the township eleven miles from one railroad and six miles
from another. The building contains six schoolrooms, with two
additional rooms. one of which might be uséd for a librarv room
and the other for a reception room. It is heated by steam and has
a basement under the entire building. not of which might be
utilized for laboratories. gymnasium, etc. To this building are
brought all the children of the entire township. The enrolment
the first year was 180, an increase of thirty over the last year in
the scattered schools. Eight wagons are employed in transporting
the children to the central building. The school grounds com—
prise about three acres. much of which is now used for gardening
and elementary agriculture.
111. \CONSOLIDA’I‘ION‘ AND TRANSi".)R'l‘A’l‘I()N 1N INDIANA
Indiana is fast taking the lead among the states. if she has
not already taken it. inthe matter of consolidation and transporta—
tion. The number of schools abandoned has grown from (379..
in 1904. to 1,314 in 1908—449 schools being abandoned from
September. 1907, to April. 1903’). The number of consolidated
schools has increased from 2510, in 1904, to 4.18 in 1908, while the
number of children transported has increased from 5.356. in 1904..
‘to 16.034, in 1908. The cost per day at the present time. April.
' 1908, for transportation of pupils in lndiana is $1,749.24. while
the cost per wagon per day is $1.87. Such has been the progress
‘0f the consolidated system ‘in Indiana in the last four years and
even greater progress will be made in the immediate future owing
to the large number of small, one—teacher schools which still exist
in the state and the recent enactment of a law by the last legis—
lature which went into effect .'\.pril 10. 1907. At the present
time there are 387 schcols in the state with an attendance of fewer
than twelve pupils, and 699 schools with an attendance of fewer
than fifteen pupils. ,
The legislature of 1907 enacted a law making compulsm‘y
__ the abandonment‘of all schools in which the average daily attend—
iance is twelve or fewer. and gives the trustees the authority to
!abandon all schools where the attendance is fifteen or fewer:
‘provided. the conditiens as to roads, streams and bridges permit
of such discontinuance. The law provides further that
it shall be the duty of the township trustee to provide for the education
of such pupils as .are affected by such or any former discontinuance ill
other schools. and they shall provide and maintain means of transporta-
at a greater distance than two miles, and
