Augmented by a large delegation from Converse county. and by other teach- ers who arrived late, the Wyoming ‘State Teachers Institute entered on its sec- ond day this morning with the Elks auditorium packed. It was esti- mated ‘that more than 600 persone attended this morning’s session. A plea for a consolidated rural school was made in an address de Uyered by Lee L. Driver, director of consolidation in Pennsylvania. Mr. ‘Driver stressed what he held to Ye the better results obtainable from transporting children over a ural territory to one ceatral school father than have one-teacher schools, “One of the greatest problems of the rural schools today is that an attempt is made to run them cheap- dy,"" Mr. Driver said. “We will ney- @r get the rural schools where we want them until they cost us twice or.three times as much as they do today." Later fie pointed out that m consolidated school need not cost the rural community any more than a series of smaller schools, since the element of state. ald would enter into the problem. Among the advantages to be de rived from a consolidatéd school, ac- cording to Mr. Driver, are the com munity spirit that comes from asso- elation and competition and ¢ eurricular work, Music and art well as manual training and domes tle, sclence work cagild be obtained, he declared. The transportation —_ problem, though a difficult one, has been sur- mounted in Pennsylyania, and could be met with equal efficiency in other Places. ‘This morning’s session opened with assembly singing under the dl- rection of Wallace Allen. Miss Edna Mae Healy guve a vocal solo. A code of ethics prepared by 1 committed headed by A. S. Jessup of Cheyenne was presented .by Mr. Jessup at a business session this morning tnd was adopted.
