Problem. ID

States spending most per capita fol
education have relatively the greatest
number of motor cars. according to an
mobile Chamber of Commerce, Stated
mobilt Chamber Of Commerce. Stated
in another way, those states in which
the number of motor cars per thou
sand persons is smallest, expend the
least per capita for education.
There are several factors, Of course,
involved in Uncle Sans educational
methods. Opinions differ as to what
constitutes an education what yard
stick should be used in measuring the
education of an individual. But, what
ever the philosophy of education may
be, it will be concede that one way
of measuring the desire for education
in a community is by the amount OF
money the parents are willing to
spend on their children in furnishing
school buildings, equipment, and good
teachers.
The More Schools the More Cars.
Taking the amount of money ex.
pended per person in each of the states
as q measure of the relative desire
for an education and comparing this
with the number of motor cars per
1000 persons in the respective states,
it is shown that states digging deepest
into their pockets for money for edu-
cational purposes also find the great
est use for motor cars.

full Business Proposition.
Says Harper.

s1n a recent census of automobile
owners in ten states, it was found
that 46 cars out of every hundred
were used daily in the business OF
the owners" states J. z. Harper Of
the San Antonio Flint company, 10
cal distributors of the Flint Six line
"This would indicate that 46 per cent
of the owners bought their cars tc
help them earn a living"
"Word which has just been re
ceived from Oakland, Cal, proves
that the public is quick to realize
the splendid business investment
which the Flint Six offers" continues
Mr.. Harper.

sIn the short space Of a few
months the new Flint Six, a W. G.
Durant product. has won the distinc-
ton of being the most talked of mel
ium priced car ever introduced to the
public" states ]. Z. Harper, general
manager of the San Antonio Flint
company, distributor of this line in
Southwest Texas.
"Since this car was announced. the
factory at Flint, Mich, reports that
dealers all over the country have been
kept busy making demonstrations to
those who have heard of its excep-
tional power, developing 20 II, p. at
2500 R.. p. NJ. and showing a speed
in high gear from one to seventy
miles an hour.
"The motor has a seven bearing
crankshaft which is is an added fea-
ture in car selling at the price of
the Flint Six, and this offers assur-
ance to the owner against vibration.
The providing of a bearing on each
side Of each connecting rod does away
with the usual spring found in crank
shafts Of less bearings"
wherever dealers are located
continued Mr.. Harper, "they have
picked out the steepest hills for demon
strating purposes and not once has the
Flint failed to show q wonderful per-
Torrance in high gear. Not only has
this car power, but also wonderful
riding qualities.
"The chassis is equipped with the
Durant Tubular Backbone which in
sures the body against twists and
strains. The greatest benefit derived
from this tubular backbone is shown
in the demonstration where the car
can be driven with one front wheel
removed"

FLINT PRODUCTION
UNDERGOES, LARGE
INCREASE RECENTLY
Believe Spring Buying Sea-
son to Be Good for
Flint Six.

The Flint Motor Company of Flint,
Mich, and the Flint motor division
of the Locomobile Company of Amer
lea, Inc, Long Island City, report
that the combined production of the
two big plants has been stepped up
over one-third in volume since Deem
Der 1, says Jim Harper of the San
Antonio Motor Sales Company.
Previous to that date the eastern
plant was in quantity production. but
the new plant at Flint, recently
opened, was just entering that stage.
The January increase in production
of Flint skies over December was IL
per cent and a further increase in
February brought the total gain in
production and sales to 80 1-3 per
cent.
This is extremely gratifying to the
sponsors of this comparatively new
Durant product as executives of the
trade estimate that if the Flint sales
can show a marked increase during
the winter months the spring buying
season holds a brilliant prospect for
the Flint six.

used In this analysis are taken from
United States Bureau of Education
Bulletin No. 30, 1922, Statistics OF
State School Systems" by Dubois and
Bonner. Automobile registrations arc
those compiled by the U. s. Bureau OF
Public Roads.
Comparison Of population per square
mile and educational costs or expendi.
lures by states, shows that school
costs vary according to density OF
population. States with the smallest
population per square mile are obliged
to pay more per capita IN the educa'
ton of their children than states with
greater density of population. The rea.
son for this is, tee greater overhead
expense Of school building, equipment
and teacher, relative to the number OF
pupils attending.
Motor Buses Help.
Educators graphing with the prob
lens of rural education, improving the
quality and reducing the costs, have
long advocated the consolidation of
several one-room school houses into a
large central or union school. Back in
the seventies Massachusetts, found il
cheaper to transport children attend
ing the smallest rural schools to the
nearby large schools, at the same time
obtaining better instruction. For many
years horsedrawn vehicles were used in
carrying children to and from school
within radius of seven miles. Parents
gradually began to see the many ad-
yantages of the larger schools over the
old little red school house."
With the advent of the motor bus
children are transported for 10 to Is
miles in an hour. School districts have
increased in size, extending to so, %
or 100 miles in area. With this devel..
opment has come large modern school
buildings, improved equipment and
specially trained instructors equal to
that of the best city schools. Motor
lied school buses make possible these
large, modern rural "school plants. "
They tend to reduce the costs and to
give. children better opportunities for
education.
The consolidated school movement
has grown to such proporISns that
many normal schools and colleges are
giving special courses preparing super
intendents to manage fleets Of motor
buses transporting children to and
from these consolidated schools.

Strongheart the Movie Star;
a Buick Gunner Since 1919

was used to break the road by bucking
snow drifts. Since that time "Strong-
heart" has had a Buick car for his
personal use. His car is devoted to
taking the dog TO and from location for

other Bucks are owned by the Trim
ble-Murfin Productions-a sedan and
two touring cars.
wStrongheart' is an enthusiastic

is said to result from a deep bond of

The "Strongheart" party also car
ries letter from the Buick distribu-
