By Marruertte Wright Staff Writer, The Statesman Consolidation of rural and suburban schools with the Salem school system has brought many improvements, in the opinion of most parents living in seven districts added to the city last year. Every mother questioned by the Statesman expressed satisfaction with the new set-up in the schools, but many complained about lack of transportation for young children. Mrs. C. E. Mahaney spoke for parents in the Auburn district who have "noticed a big improvement in every way. Teachers can give more attention to the youngsters, with the older children going to Leslie junior high. The little chil dren like it better this way there is less roughousing on the play ground and more activities they can take part in. I think these ad vantages are worth paying more taxes." Mrs. R. W. King pointed out that the older children enjoy the activities at Leslie but that the time required for transportation by school bus back and forth keeps them away from home from 7:45 ajn. to 4:30 pjn. Some have complained that there is no place for them at the school to wait for the bus at night Lencbes Ca mm nded Mrs. C. F. Feskens added that teachers at the Auburn school were capable before consolidation but seemed to be enabled to do better with the improved equip ment She commented favorably on school lunches. Some parents in the Liberty district keep their children at home during bad weather because of the mile-and-a-half walk to school. Mrs. Jphn Walter's daugh ter was approached by "a strange man' while walking home in the dark and now she stays home un less she can get a ride to school. Mrs. Walter, Mrs. Clayton Bunse and Mrs. fohn Anderson were unanimous in their requests for bus transportation. "We pay taxes and we feel our children are entitled to a school bus." The older Liberty children have bus transportation to Leslie. In the Middle Grove district young children living along the Silverton road hike rides to school on the bus which takes older pupils to Parrish junior high or Salem high school. Bonne Anglin reported. Quality Impi-eved Mrs. N. O. Holman thinks the walk to school is good exercise for her children but agrees with Mrs. Howard Miller that the little tots should have bus transportation. Both mothers said con sol ida ion has advanced the quality of Middle Grove school, mentioning that male supervision seemed to im prove the situation generally and provide better "discipline." The women said they, favored "anything for the betterment of schools. If that means more taxes well, we shouldn't scrimp on our own dollars . . . but think of the good of the community.' mm Vent! fjtoa A womdtrfui aew tit dip that I fjr ktpi your lis elsasye aatTd.

Kendrick specified the improvements consolidation meant for the Pringle school bet ter lights, better teaching equip ment, special work in art and mu sic and more individual attention for each child. She and Mrs. G. K. Mather said their children liked school better and that the parents generally seemed "very satisfied." Tax Need Admitted They noted that "the tax sit uation is bad considering the present cost of living but we need and want better schools, so evi dently the only thing is to pay more taxes." Mrs. F. M. Wiley thought the school situation "seems to work out well enough" as it is, for now. Parents in the Rickey district are especially pleased with con solidation because their children do have transportation now. Mrs. George Weed said, "The bus situation was our biggest problem. Now that is solved and we also have better teaching, bet ter facilities and meals and an im proved school house. That is worth any increase in taxes." Mrs. H. E. Phillips agreed and Mrs. E. C. White added that further im provements should provide for es tablishment of kindergartens. Families in outlying areas of the Swegle district have arranged neighborhood car pools which are not always satisfactory and their hope is for early establishment of bus transportation to the Swegle school, Mrs. H. L. Young said. Mrs. Henry Van Loh and Mrs. W. A. LaFlemme praised the new facilities: modernized kitchen, hot water in lavatories, better lunches, a telephone, and a cleaner build ing. Their children like the new music and art classes, too, they said. Mothers in West Salem think well of consolidation, if statements from those interviewed are any indication of the general attitude. Mrs. Warren Baker has seen "a great deal of improvement We need more facilities when the bud gets allow but the general enthu siasm of the public shows that we are well satisfied with the progress that has been made." MVs. H. WV Reinwald believes consolidation has helped children "meet other pupils from other dis tricts and feel not so isolated as before.
