Governor Eberhardt and State Superintendent Schulz visited Willmar summer school for teachers last Monday to urge consolidation of rural districts. Schulz praised the rural schools and Minnesota’s strong funding while noting 330,000 rural pupils, 125,000 in high schools, and 6,000 at the state university. They cited 1,800 consolidated districts across 32 states with no dissolutions after benefits prove themselves, and argued central schools offer transportation, domestic science, manual training, agriculture, and a social center to attract rural youth to farm life.
