and home economics for the high school. ‘ ~



(2) We get one teacher for each grade in the elementary school, plus a teacher for the Oppor-
tunity Room in the grades. , | e

(3) We get training teachers in our school furnished without expense to us.

(4) We get a community hall that will accommodate our community needs.

(5) We get all this at a cost to us of less than our present one-teacher schools are actually cos-
