Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ...the facts. It is easy to see what this leavening must mean to the 212,000 small schools still untouched by the movement. 1 See Bibliography for the best available material on this subject. Massachusetts passed a law authorizing consolidation of schools as early as 1865, and four years later added efficiency to this step by enacting another law providing for the conveyance of school children at public expense. The first school to take advantage of this provision was the town (township) of Quincy, in 1874. Perhaps the first successful experiment at consolidation in the state was the three-school consolidation in Montague, in 1875.

This amount was $22,118.38 in 1888 and $384,149 in 1912, and fully $400,000 in 1915. The example set by Massachusetts was in time followed by all the rest of New England. Connecticut began consolidation in a small way in 1889. The other states fell in line somewhat later and are making considerable progress in spite of topographical and other difficulties which conspire to discourage the movement in this section of the country. The Middle West and West.--From Massachusetts the new plan of school organization spread westward and southward, until consolidation, in some form, is now practiced in every state.
