TRAGEDY IN
SCHOOL ANNALS

The worst tragedy In western
school annals occurred near Red
Bluff, California, few days ago,
when a high school bus, carrying
sixteen children, was struck by a
Southern Pacific passenger train.
Twelve of the children were killed
outright and the other four are so
badly injured that they are not ex-
pected to survive. The unfortunate
occurrence has plunged the little
city of Red Bluff into mourning and
sympathy will exist for the stricken
ones wherever people read. The
development of the student carry
ing plan has moved too rapidly dur
ing late years and lack Of safe
guards has characterized the opera
tions Of many of the consolidated
districts. 1t happens too frequently
that school directors place irrespon-
sible youngsters at the wheels OF
automobiles that carry children to
and from school.
1t develops that the driver Of the
bus was boy sixteen years Of age
The carelessness Of youth exacted
his life along with the others. The
happening serves TO illustrate the
need of stricter supervision OF
school transportation affairs.
This state, like others, has it,
consolidated school districts and the
bus idea has come to stay, for ths
advantages attaching to centraliza
ton of school effort are too obvious
to be annulled by unfortunate oc
currences Of the kind recorded neal
Red Bluff, which emphasizes the i'm
portance of employing adult driver
who will pilot their precious cargoe
of school children with the safet,
first idea constantly in mind.

NEXT WEEK A Time
FOR CIVIC PRIDE
AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
is TO BE HELD DEC. 4 TO 10,
1921, UNDER THE AUSPICES
AMERICAN LEGION AND THE
NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSN.
Ore of the Most Laudable Objects
Extant to Be Aided By General
Observance Throughout
the United States
(Contributed)

American Education Week is be-
ing held December to 10 under
the auspices of the American Lee
gion and the National Education as
ISOLATION.
"The foundation of every state is
the education of its youth"
The main purposes Of the week
are to inform the public Of the ac-
complishments and needs of the
public schools and to secure CO.
operation and support Of the public
in meeting these needs and to
teach and foster good Americanism.
No service has suffered more from
unintelligent criticism than the
schools. The average citizen does
not read educational literature or
accounts of teachers meetings or
visit schools to learn what they are
doing. He has a conception of
school only as he knew it in his
own school days. American Edu-
cation Week should give the tax
payers who furnish the funds for
the public schools first-hand knowl-
edge Of the service for which they
pay. Education cannot afford to
neglect this opportunity to advertise
it's aims and purposes.
1t is the duty OF all the friends
to think seriously and work hard on
the problem of keeping the idea of
public education before all the
people.
All communities are urged to OBJ
serve American Education Week,
December to 10. The program
for the week may be under the gen.
eral supervision of the superintend-
ent of schools, the commander of
the local American Legion post, the
mayor, or other chief governmental
officer Of the community. These
officials may call to their aid such
other advisers and help as they
deem necessary.
The superintendents of schools,
the school principal, or the teacher
in each community is expected to
take the initiative in organizing and
in making and carrying out the
program for the week by getting
in touch with the local head Of the
American Legion and of the local
government, and with the presidents
Of chambers of commerce, women's
clubs, churches, Rotary, Kiwanis,
Lion, and other civic organizations,
and making plans to reach at least
once every individual in the COM
munity.
The churches will be invited to
observe Sunday, December 4, as
American Education Sunday with
special sermons and addresses.
The following topics are suggest
ed for use in schools: Monday, "Our
Flag; Tuesday, American Ideals;
Wednesday, 1.-THE Language Of
America; Thursday, "Immigra-
ton; Friday, Naturalization"
In every possible way the public's
attention should be centered on
educational problems: the need of
better buildings, libraries and equip
ment, Fairgrounds; better attend
ance; better-paid teachers; longer
school term; better vocational edu-
cation; better understanding Of the
form and fundamental principles of
our government and better and uni
versal use of the English language.
Special emphasis should be placed
on the singing of patriotic songs,
salutes to the flag, and short, inter-
esting accounts of essential facts in
American history.

Col. William Ellis, editor of the
Austin Reveille, has announced his
intention of staying out Of the state
printer race until Joe Farnsworth,
incumbent, has acquired compe-
tence. Admitting that he would
like the job, Ellis has said in a
printed statement in his paper that
because of friendship he favors
Farnsworth against the field, includ-
ing himself. Yet there are those

are becoming strangers in their
splendid isolation, brought about by
the revival by the railroad magnates
of the old feudal system that held
sway in the middle ages. No robber
baron ever carried on in a more
constituencies manner.
These remarks are prompted over
the great ado that is being made by
the paid press agents of the railroad
companies who would have the pub
lie believe that the men who own
the railroads propose to grant dis
pensation from out of the goodness
of their hearts. We are told, if not
directly, then by inference, that the
railroad executives want to see the
farmer benefit from his seasonal ac-
tivities and that he is to have a
larger share of the resulting largess.
OF course, the farmer is to be i'm
pressed with the fact that the devia-
ton in rates is a six-months' affair.
sort of an experimental PROPOSE
ton which, may be terminated at
the sweet pleasure of the railroad
magnates, who surrender preroga-
tive with reluctance, whatever else
may be said about them.
The public will agree that it's
splendid thing to favor the farmer
even though it must be done in con-
cert and aside from competition by
the railroads. But what about the
man we know as Mr.. Ultimate Con-
sumner, who lives all about us? Is
he to still pay the same high freight
rates upon his building materials,
his fuel, and groceries, and the
thousand and one other things that
go to make up his living scheme?
And what about the excursionist
who would load car and go from
the city into the country in an eff
fort to enter the ranks Of the pro-
ducers? Is he to be barred from
the benefits of freight rate dispen-
sations? Cannot all lines of bust
ness, large and small, which furnish
payrolls that keep freight moving,
receive at least slight encourage
ment? And what about the worker
who operates the trains of the coun-
try? Is he to be made vicarious
sacrifice? In some lines of work on
railroads the men have a wage cut
coming, and rightly-they admit
that. But Mr.. Ultimate Consumer,
who is big part of our population
most vitality concerned, is ready now
to say with the railroader-let it be
fifty-ffty.
Lowering the rates on farm COM
modities will bring little relief to
the people Of Winnemucca unless
the reductions are to be made effec-
tive on shipments from the range as
we'll as from the farm. Yet the
proposed wage decreases will affect
the marts of our city in a most ma
terial sense, for our population has
large sprinkling from among those
who operate trains and are depend
ent upon the vocation for a liveli-
hood.
