HIGH SCHOOL IN
 COUNTRY LACKING
Said Not to Have Efficiency Of
 City Institution

Boston. Feb. % LN--Studies and
 investigation indicate that achieve
 ment in rural high schools is below hat in city high schools, Dr. M. L..
 Combs of the Virginia state depart
 ment of education declared in a speech prepared for delivery here today before the rural education de-
 partment of the National Education
 association.
 "In general the rural high school in Virginia is less efficient than the city high school as determined by
 the achievement of its pupils in high school and it's graduates. in college" :"
 Dr. Combs said.
 While it is possible to make a rural high school just as efficient as a city school, the location indirectly affects it's status. Most rural high schools are small. The size of the cnrollment largely determines the
 size of the teaching staff, which in
 turn affects the breadth of the pro-
 gram of studies and the breadth of
 the program determines the oppor- tunity for exploration guidance and differentiation Size of enrolment
 also affects the per capita cost
 which in turn largely determines the
 salaries and the like. It is pretty generally agreed there is q direct relationship between salaries of teachers and efficient instruction Among the remedies suggested by Dr. Combs are consolidation wherever possible so as to bring larger numbers of pupils together in
 one school and itinerant teaching staffs which would make possible a more varied program Of studies.

NEWSPAPERS HELP IN SCHOOL WORK
Educators Admit Value Of
 Daily Press

Boston. Feb. 20 R-The impor. tance of publicity in school affairs was stressed today by two speak CTS scheduled to appear before super. intendents attending the National Education association convention. Citizens are entitled to full in- formation about their schools, said Willard H. Bacon. superintendent o1 schools at Westerly. R. I.
 The typical report card. he de clared, is lacking in real informa- ton. It abounds in lists of subjects but for real information, he said parents must go to the school, the principal, the teacher or the child The majority of parents. he added do not do this unless they believe an injustice has been done. He urged that the schools take the ini- tiative in giving parents real in formation of their children's work in a personal way.
 "The best means" he said, "oi keeping the public informed are the public press. especially the small To-  cal newspapers; the annual report, which in the smaller towns goes into many houses: special bulletins mim- eographed or printed and sent to the parents by the pupils; public ad- dresses and demonstrations. exhibits window displays and posters, and teachers who are so interested in their work that they enthuse all oi their friends"
 In a community that is well in formed good schools will be demand ed by the people even if the costs are rather high" said Dr. s. Mon- roe Graves, superintendent of schools at Wellesley Hills, Mass. in an ad- dress prepared for delivery before the convention. He suggested that superintendents should foster active parent-teacher associations and school news columns in their local newspapers.

Paris, Feb. .9. France is be- ing cleared of poor Americans Vet erans who have to be repatriated are rapidly decreasing.
 These are statements of Major w. V Crochet. president of the American Aid Society.
 Behind these statements there ship Of Americans toward their own people since the war. All of the American bcys who came over here in uniform in 1917 and 1918 and who survived the war did not go back with their outfits.
 A good many remained for req sons of business, or pleasure, or to adjust personal affairs, but gradu- ally the list ha. been dwindling until now it is safe to say that most of the veterans who are still here have become well established and made their homes here moro or less indefinitely. Practically all of them retain their citizenship an remain loyal Americans, but they regard France as their adopt ed country and they are 'home' here.
 Saved From DestitutiCm
 For Americans who have not successfully been able to grapplc with foreign conditions, the Amer ican Aid society, with Ambassad dor Myron r. Herrick as honorary president and prominent American business men as sponsors. has Eeen doing pralseworthy work.
 This society has saved great many Americans. whose needs have been just, from the humila- tion of Restitution in foreign land and by keeping such cases out of French charitable institu- tions has done much for the good name of America

shows that last year relief was given to S95 Americans out of 1890 applicants. Of the 241 cases repatriated. 40 were former A. l.. F. soldiers and members of their families. This means that. nearly ten years after the Armi- stice. American thoughtfulness and remembrance have saved l40 boys. who came over here to fight for their country, from the dis tress of remaining in privation among foreigners.
 Twice as many Americans were sent home last year as in 1926, but there were only half as many applicants. It is curious to note that more stranded students were given help last year than seamen, or those of any other particular ocupa1ion. Deserted wives to- ,alci ST. stranded seamen 63, stranded students 1e5. Other fig ures show those needing trans portation in France 693, those needing employment S6S, while those asking aid because of old age numbered G.
 Funds. Homes. Jobs
 The soclaty's record of accom- plishment during the year shows further that 14G Americans were sent to friends or searorts; 57 given funds to cable to their fam lilies. 49 secured care in hospitals or homes 12 positions were se- cured, 601 given meals, 2os given beds and 454 given cash relief.
 According 10 Pendleton Beck ley. treasurer of the society. this activity caused disbursement of S9S,S92 francs. Of this sum 14S.- 601 was contributed or reimbursed by beneficiaries and G2.S74 was furnished by the American Legion and the Auxiliary for returning cX-service men and their families. The society depends chiefly on subscriptions for it's funds.

franchise gives standing to an automobile mer. chant in any community; but it is equally true that the character and reputation of the mer chant give dignity to the franchise.
 Therefore General Motors endeavors to select its dealers with special care, and extends every cooperation to make their business permanent
 This policy is important to you in the purchase of new car, but it is vital in the selection of used car. For the way to select dependable used car is first to select dependable dealer.
 General Motors dealers expect to do business with customer not once but many times. The goodwill of every man or woman who drives car out of their stores is their most important asset for the future. They are careful that every car shall represent value in proportion to its price.
 Go to one of them for a used car that will give you dependable transportation at the lowest possible price; and make the purchase, if you choose, through the convenient CMAC Plan.

be required or some schedule approxi-
mately equivalent to 10-cent cash fare,
with four tokens for 80 cents.
In general, it may be said that the
above estimates understate rather than
overState the amount of increase in
fares necessary to produce z per cent
return upon rate base OF $4,000, 900.
THE companies have not prepared
estimates of the additional capital
which will be needed for additions and
betterments and unification purposes.
After paying for the stock of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Co. the new COM
pany will have net current assets of
about 81 100000, assuming the estimate
of $4,000. 900 to be approximately cor
rect as the amount of net current as
sets which will be transferred to the
new company.
Materials Are Included.
"A considerable part of this sum will
represent materials and supplies and
part cash, which will need to be re-
tanned for corporate requirements.
1T seems probable that the required
funds available in current assets and
the amount in the depreciation reserve.
The new company will probably
need to raise additional capital by the
issuance of securities.
LAS previously pointed out, the new
company will be controlled by the North
American Co. through the ownership
of stock in the Washington Railway
e. Electric Co. The North American
Co. is a holding company. 1t does
not maintain any management, engi-
neering or construction departments,
and the only charges that have been
made by that company to subsidiaries
have been for portions Of salaries of
certain officers of the parent company
who are also officers of the subsidiary
or controlled companies, for certain &C
counting, financial and statistical work
which has been performed for subSidi-
aries by the parent companies and for
| services in relation to stock registration,
bond coupons and fiscal matters. The
| Washington Railway & Electric Co has
not made any payment to the North
American Co. for any of such services.
Charges Not Uncommon.
"It is not uncommon for parent COM
panies to make charges to subsidiaries
! for financial assistance and advice, en-
gineering and accounting services and
general supervision and management.
These charges are usually the sub
ject of much discussion in rate cases,
and If the North American Co. were
to adopt the practice of charging the
! new company any fee of such a char
acter the reaSonablenesS of the charge
would be a matter for consideration and
determination by the Public Utilities
Commission.
THE courts have generally upheld
such charges provided they appeared
to be reasonable compensation for serv-
ices rendered, and they have been loath
to overturn any arrangement unless it
clearly is uniustif1ed or illegal"

could flv the ship back and make
better time in that manner. Later
