Both Governor Cox and Senator

AUTO TRUCKS NOW
EDUCATION FACTOR
Motor Lorries Bring Scholars to
Centralized Schools In
Rural Districts.

'~rhe motor truck is proving itself
q vital force for better education
says NJ. d. Hoaglsnd. vice president
of the Signal Motor Truck Company,
Detroit, Mich.
Particularly throughout the
Southwestern farming sections OF the
country, In Kansas and contiguous
States, motor trucks have been the
means OF revolutionizing the educa-
ton of the younger generation. Before
the advent OF the truck IL had been
the custom TO have a country school
In the various districts. The schools
were, almost without exception, crude,
the attendance small. and generally
a single teacher comprised the stan,
and had TO be mentor, proctor, and
everything else TO the scholars. Par
ticularly in the matter or equipment
were these small country schools
lacking, yet IL was manifestly i'm
possible 10 bring them TO par with
the big city public schools.
when motor trucks became so
prevalent throughout this section OF
the country, though, plan was
evolved to combine these small and
poorly equipped schools. This was
carried into execution, and in many
cases six or eight schools were
amaIgamated, and this made II posi-
BILE to erect new building, modern
in every respect with every facility
for recreation as well as education.
"The scholars were brought to
these new central schools and re-
turned to their homes each day via
motor truck. 1t revolutionized the
entire school system OF many States.
and enabled a better scale of salaries
TO be paid teachers, and better
schools to be operated, while the
marked Improvement In the intelli-
Rence of the scholars showed the
deficiencies Of the old eteacher
method. Now the country pupils can
acquire an education under the same
conditions as their city cousins"
During a recent canvass OF the
Southwest" continued Mr.. Hoagland,
81 found that pneumatic-tired trucks
were the most efficient means of
carrying the children to and fro in
comfort and with expedition. The
new Signal one tonner pneumatic
equipped. found to be particularly
well adapted for work OF this nature,
or any work where speedy and con-
tinuous transit was required"
