DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Consolidation of Schools and Public Transportation of Pupils Consolidation of schools is not a new thing in North Carolina. Hundreds of small school districts have given way within the last ten years to larger ones. The work of consolidation is still going on in some counties, but at a slower rate generally, perhaps, than at any time within these ten years. Consolidation of districts has possibly' not kept pace with some other phases of our educational progress because it was necessarily limited to reasonable walking distance from the schoolhouse until the amendment of the school law in 1911 provided specifically for transportation of pupils. Public transportation of pupils is a new undertaking among us. With the exception of a few wagons operated in Wake, Cumberland and Rockingham counties last year, it has not been undertaken, so far as I am informed. The last General Assembly, in recognition of the successful experience of other States in transporting a large number of their children at public expense, made provision for counties in this State, in which conditions are favorable therefor, to undertake this work. A copy of the law will be found on the cover page of this bulletin. I am reliably informed that arrange ments have been made to operate a good number of wagons this year.
