PROMINENT AUTOEXPERT SAYS LITTLE RED
SCH0OLH0USE IS INADEQUATE FOR ALL NEEDS

F. Fl. Akers, a prominent auto au-
thority. has become so imbued with
the Importance Of the subject and so
Interested in the plan of abolishing
the Little Old Red school house ut
the crossroads and setting up in their
place a modern. graded school in each
county. or where the area or popula-
ton is so great as to make that in
adequate-One at. central point in
each township, that he has started a
veritable crusade in behalf of this
movement.
Notwithstanding the fact that all
the other conditions-fresh air, exer-
cises and diversity of interests-are all
in favor Of the country bred child, it is
nevertheless fact the city bred kid
OF the same age Is always two or three
jumps ahead of him in his classes.
THE reason of course, is obvious.
I TEACHING SECOND RATE.
Despite the romance and glarnor
that our memories throw around the
little red school house-which, by the
way, was generally white or gray-it
Is nevertheless fact that the edu-
cation doled out there Is of q second
rate character.
In the first place, each child can
have only fraction of the teachers
time because the one instructor must
take in turn several different grades.
Meantime the other children are
supposed to study but don't, and the
teachers mind Is about evenly divided
between the class she is trying to in
struct and keeping the others out OF
mischief.
In the graded school each class has
the full time and attention of the
lteacher--and the teacher is more com
petent because better paid. more ma
ture and specialist. as it were, in the
curriculum of that grade.
THE attendance at each of these lit
tie cross roads schools is so small thai
it is impossible to pay salary neces-
sary to engage a really competent
teacher with the result that the aver.

This is not her fault but her mis-
fortune, for she is also a product o.
that obsolete system.

AN AUTO'LL WAKE YOU
IF YOU JAY WALK"
It Must Be the Salubrious Air
in the Boise Valley That
Makes Folks Walk Around
Half in Slumber.

There are so many motorists who
have standing complaint registered
against jay wallling'-a as a developing
profession among pedestrians in this
part of the state that officials of the
Boise police department are consider
ing action in order to bring the public
to see that hundreds of motor car
accidents originate in the carelessness
of the man on foot just as well as by
the man in the car.
Whether or not it is the abundant
sunshine of the Boise valley that pro-
duces a certain tendency for people
to walk in their sleep in broad day
light, meandering negligently across
streets anywhere their foot happens to
slip off a curb instead of waiting until
they get to a prescribed crossing, or
whether they don't know any better,
will be matter for investigation.
Jay walking" is an unpleasant term
carrying the idea that anyone who
oozes out into street or a highway
without looking to the right or left
is "jay"-or in the words of the car
toonist a boob and a "rube." In
walking from place to place, either in
the cities or the country, he takes on
the characteristics of a boob" and
conducts himself as one, point out the
automobile owners most annoyed.
The species, it is said, may be male
or female, young or old, well dressed
or not. Appearances are deceptive. 1t
is even true that car owner him
self, when on foot, may be a Jay
walker" declare police executives, pos
sibly unconsciously following the ex-

cars nor other speedy forms of trans
portation, and the farm horses and
help could not be spared night and
morning to take the children long dis
tasnces to school. Consequently the
schools had to be located at distances
that even the smallest child could walk
might and morning.
THAT condition is all changed now.
There is a newer and a better way
end. in mary parts of the country, the
people have already come to appreci-
ate and to adopt this.
"The modern way is to pool all the
school taxes-and wherever possible,
fsell the school sites-and with this
lump sum construct, at a central point
in the county or township. a modern,
! well equipped. properly heated and
lighted grade school.
This gives the country children the
| same educational facilities as the city
children, plus the tremendous advan-
tage of country life and surround
| ings. v
| Nor is it any Logger considered nee
essary that child should endure the
cold and suffering; or undergo the
long, hard walks night and morning,
that used to be considered neces-
sary part of its physical and mental
development.
"A child is naturally athletic and
will get lots of exercise in legitimate
play. Nor is it really hardened as
people used to suppose by being forced
to stand extremes of heat and cold.
Rather it is dwarfed and its constitu-
ton weakened at the very time it
should be conserved and developed
/ In progressive districts nowadays.
they build such schools as have men,
toned and then purchase a sufficient
number of motor omnibusses and trail
| ers to carry all the children who live
more than half mile from school, back
and forth night and morning.
One of the most successful of these
school plans has now been in opera
ton for several years at Chino. Cal.
The equipment consists of six REQ
trucks and to each of these is at
tached a trailer.

.jitney bus and seats --- children. In
emergencies twice as many can be ac-
commodated. seated and standing.
Then the trailer is attached at the
rear. This accommodates - chill
dren and is used only for taking those
who live nearest to the school,

For greatest efficiency and expedi-
ency the plan is: On leaving the

The continued action of the impeller
gears of a gear pump frequently
causes wear in the pump. In case a
considerable space develops between
the impeller and the pump casing, the
power of the pump is largely reduced.
The only remedy for this condition is
to install new parts in place of the
worn ones.

Added to the legion of Maxwell own

car maintenance except one spring clip.
He averaged better than "a miles on
each gallon of gasoline for aver 1000

The performance of Mr. Robinson's
car was remarkable owing 70 the fact
that the run was made during the bad
weather period and It was impossibls
for many cars to operate due to ROAD

The car should never be washed in
direct sunlight. If the operation is not
carried out in the garage the vehicle
should be in the shade while being
washed. The direct rays of the sun
striking on water causes heating,
which ttends to dull the finish. In the
same way the hood should never be
washed when 1t is hot, as directly af-
ter a run.
