A COUNTY WIDE SCHOOL PLAN I wish to discuss with the people of the county the great need of standard types of schools before going into the plan of organization. Our conception of the high school has changed. Not only do we hope to prepare boys and girls for college, but we hope to prepare them for life. We should not only give them readirg, writing and arithmetic, but should offer them vocational training in all lines of work. Agriculture, home econom ics, shop work, commercial courses and various other lines of training are frequently asked for in the high schools. These, together with academic subjects, cannot be given in small high schools. Not only , does the large type high school offer these advantages, but it is much more economical to maintain. I believe that the per capita cost is from fifteen to twenty per cent. less in the large schools than in smaller non-standard high schools. In order to give these high school advantages it will be necessary to bring at least one hundred high school pupils together in one center. 1 he plan calls lor three standard high schools which offers these ad vantages in the county. They are at Plymouth, Roper and Creswell. In addition to the high school courses offered, these schools main tain standard elementary schools for grades one to seven. The schools proposed by the plan are as follows: Plymouth, this school will embrace all of Plymouth township: Roper, the elementary school will cover about the same territory and remain practically the same as it is at the present time; Mackeys, this school will remain about the same as it is now, cover ing about the same territory, and the plan is to make this a strong^ standard elementary school; Albe marle, it will be necessary under the plan to build up and maintain a standard elementary school in Skinnersville township at or near the point where the state highway leaves the old Columbia road, and this school would take care of the entire Skinnersville township; Creswell, this school will cover its present territory together with Mt, Tabor school; Cherry, this will be a standard elementary school cover ing its present territory; Wcnona, it will be necessary under this plan to maintain a small type school at W’enona. All high school students in tfe county will be transported or in. reach of one of the three standard high schools. JOHN W.
