Excerpt from Consolidation of School Districts in Michigan During the past few years the subject of the improvement of the rural schools has been given earnest consideration in this State. This bulletin is prepared with a view to giving a careful statement of the methods of procedure in consolidating school districts and the results that have already been accomplished in Michigan. The last eleven pages are reprinted from the annual report of this Department for the year 1905. The work of improving the rural schools is not confined to any one line; but in the centralizing of school districts we find one of the most efficient means of improvement, as it increases the taxing area, puts larger numbers of children in the same school, and per mits the organizing of the school into departments. It is hoped that the school officers and school patrons of the State will give this bulletin and the subject of the improvement of the rural schools careful study. We are all interested in the same thing, the welfare of the child, and therefore we must all work together for his good.
