TRANSPORTING SCHOOL PUPILS

For some time there has been a pol
Icy advocated by certain of our school
men which appears TO have been put
In active practice in many Of the states
throughout the Union, and which APP
pears to have given very general sat
isfaction wherever given q trial in &c
cordance with the claim made by the
bureau of education of the United
States.
The report claims that forty.three
states Of the Union now authorize the
transportation Of pupils to public
schools at the expense of the school
districts. The cost per pupil for trans.
pOrtatlon is given by the bulletin, and
ranges from ten to eighteen cents per
day, and the average expense for the
school year is about 500 per pupil.
In many Of the states where this
process is in practice it is obligatory
upon the state, while in other states
the plan is merely regarded rs per.
mlssive. Some states transport the
pupils when the distance is two miles
or more, and others do this when the
distance Is as much rs q mile and a
half.
1t would appear that there are va
rious modes Of conveyance used In tae
different sections Of the country, for
upon this phase Of the subject, the
bulletin says:
Sentiment seems to favor the school
wagon properly managed; yet while
the wagon is the usual form of CON.
veyance furnished, many children are
transported by steam railroads, cleo
trio cars, automobiles, and even by
gasoline launches"
1t would appear as If the policy Of
transporting pupils to the schools
when the distance is sufficient TO jus-
tify, would be an excellent policy
to adopt i'm DeSoto. 1t is quite certain
that some schools that cannot make
the necessary average for the school
term would be benefited by this plan.
ana taken as n whole it appears as if
liberal application of tins policy
would be both promotion of tina cause
Of education and an economical exDen
diture of the public funds.
