co ts very high and education very
difficult. They are inefficient anu
wasteful.
As recently as last year an
ef ort was made to install the
ci unty ¡.nit plan in this county.
It guaranteed no consolidation of
schools. From frequent conver-
s: lions on the subject it seems
lively th at-tr ttldVcf for consolida
tion of schools—especially high
si bools—would be accepted more
f:.vorably by the voters.
Argument against it is the com
munity pride that refuses to let
schools move away. Argument for
it is better schools. It is commu
nity pride versus the children.
Eventually the children will prob
ably win, but there may be many
of them who will have poor
crances un'til consolidation is
voted.
