We Believe In Consolidation
We believe in the consolidation of the schools, liecause one-
room schools are inferior to graded schools. Pupils cannot prop
erly study while other classes are continually reciting different
subjects. If there are many |iupilv the teacher cannot take enough
time with individuals of all grade» «nd ages; and if there are
just a few. pupils do not take as much interest and do not have
the same advantages as in lai ger schools
Scio is very much interested in the pupils outside of the
district. I»ecau»e three out of every five in the High School come
from the outside districts and money tor t c expense of educat
ing them crime* from the county treasury to the amount of almut
$2400 each year. The ¡wviplc outsNe of the district are inter
ested in Scio I mk * u -. v they must have a place close to send their
children to High SchcaJ.

The Scio school district's total property valuation is $100,-
000 to $4,000,000 less than in other pi.«cv* in the county, there
fore the taxpayer has much higher taxr in projxirtion to school
ei|»en<litutcs. Whether the new district i» .i two million dollar

largest in the county. The eighteen closest districts, including
Scio, have a valuation of $l,96L48b; similarly, the twelve near
