An open discussion will be held in which ail will be given an opportunity to par ticipate, so that all possible Ideas in regard to the betterment of the sclioolB may be obtuined. The only cure for the present na tional difficulties confronting us is better educational facilities and a continuance and improvement of the equal educational policy maintained upon the contineut. All children must be given a thorough education and when Illiteracy is obsolete good government will exist. At the present time the rural schools are not as efficient as they might be made. When a teacher at tempts to instruct pupils In eight different grades, holding clauses and preparing lessons and carrying on all departments of the school in the same room, the work is not progress ing as it should and the pupils are not getting the full benefit of that teacher's knowledge and ability. At Melrose a plan for consolida tion has been proposed, whereby all of the adjoining districts will par ticipate in the support of a modern school where more efficient work may be done and where better and more equipment will be available. This plan will be one of the many presented for the approval of the school patrons at Saturday's meeting. WOHKMAX IS KII.I.KD.
