The principal features of the plan
are: ,
1. AM the schools outside of the

2. One budget and one tax rate
for this rural district,
8. The central board to make ap

hire and place teachers and establish
a scale of salaries, consolidate dis
tricts and establish transportation
wnere it is deemed wise,
4. The central board to employ a
