faot that about !'S per cent of the

! The foundation of a groniiiK and

iis intelligence, prosressiveiuss, and
i stability. Hroadly sneaking, there is
a cloe relation between the amount

land the size of the school district,
and a fairly close relation between
t:u number of people and the ceo
grnpiiic ntt'a of the community. Con
sequently, if we increase the size of
Mir school district we increase the
.mount of the community's wealth.
If v.e extend the bemmktries of the
school district, we increase the size
:.i'. stability of the connmniliy's pop
ulation; we increase the value of the
coiimiiinliy's coo n rut !ve effort In the
buildii.g up of a school that will more
aiiei!ialelv meet the need of the
children.
The One-Tciieher School.
In North Carolina the average size
of li'e community wiih the une-leach-

18) Kieat;ently young. Inexpert

teachers.
iS ) One teacher alone has to do all
the ttachinc-leeching from five to
seven evade each day, having from

county, would have been 1 hour and
54 minutes. ith this type oi scnooi
as the prevailing type In the county,
the hope of really efficient supervis

not be rationally expectea.
(17) The per capita cost of instruc

rar.reaentatlve counties In the state.
In 1910. the average monthly cost of
