Abstract

The movement for Better Schools in Iowa is going forward with steady development. People are concerning themselves with school matters as never before. The forward movement is contagious. There is a state wide manifestation of zeal for all that properties school efficiency. This ardor for splendid things-is shown in rural, graded and high schools. Through closer supervision, better teachers, buildings and equipment, the one-room rural schools are giving a richer service. By combining with adjacent villages into consolidated districts many rural communities are supplanting the one-room school of long cherished traditions with a full graded organization, and modern methods and equipment; thereby securing advantages that have long been enjoyed only by urban centers. This movement is gaining ground daily.
