for a school with so low an attend-
ance to attain satisfactory results.

In concluding his remarks he .ad-
vanced many practical ideas and
good’ advice to the teachers.

Rev. Mr. Stavert then addressed
the meeting on “Our ‘Rural School
Problem,” and said the communities
are not standing behind the teach-
ers. If we closed “our schools
we would be back in a short time
to the days of savagery.

We need a better school grade,
we need 4 better school grounds.
We must have consolidation. Why
could we not get several schools
together and convert them into one
High School. He also touched op
the teacher's salaries.

sented, moved ‘by ‘Mr. R. H.
Rogers, seconded by ‘Rev. R. H.
