Prof. McIntyrs's Report on
Highway Use Is Prepared
for Pupils.

Prompted by the success Of the
educational outline on highway
transport prepared for university
use under their direction by Prof
Lewis Mcintyre, the officials OF the
Highway and Highway Transport
Education Committee have now
turned TO Prof Buckner OF the
School OF Education OF the Uni.
versity OF Pittsburgh to translate
the book into language designed for
use by high school students through
out the country.
The new pamphlet will be pre-.
pared in cooperation with officials
of the United States Bureau Of
Public Roads. the United States
Bureau of Education and other
organiza tons represented on the
committee and will be the first COM
prehensive effort to place the sub
1ect OF highway transport before the
high school students OF the country.
The first edition OF the Mcintyre
pamphlet Of 1900 copies was ex.
hausted almost as the book left the
press and more than 1900 requests
for additional copies have been re-
ceived from educational authorities
all over the United States. Prof. A.
H. Blanchard, University of Mich
igan, has asked for an additional
/ 900 copies for use in class room
work and for distribution among
students Of this problem, while many
college students now preparing
graduate theses on transportation
have asked for the book.
Copies have been sent to practical
ly all foreign countries and the re-
snonse averywhere has indicated the
need for condensed information OF
this character.
