say in my heart, add aloud, Give us m.orecounty high schools; give the children of the country an equal chance with the children of the cities. Mrs. Mary Niblack, Superintendents JOHNSTON COUNTY. Replying to your request of recent date for the number of consolidateddistricts in this county, I will state that I have twelve such, which embracean average of 20 1-6 sections. Most of these were originally organized asconsolidated districts, in keeping with your suggestions along this line atour first meeting in Guthrie. The consolidated school is the ideal school. I have two consolidateddistricts which have built schoolhouses costing $10,000 and $13,000, re-spectively. One of these proposes to take the children to school in auto-buggies next year. Several of these districts have also built a teachers^ residence on the school grounds. Consolidation is not only cheaper, but itgives bettef school advantages for the rural communities. Respectfully, J. Frank Lilly,County Superintendent Schools.
