State Department Recognize
the Efficiency of Sauk
Centre Students

Very early in the school year
just closing the officers Of the
Minnesota Highway Patrol met
with Supt. Kohl and several of the
representative citizens of the COM
munity, including the editor of the
Herald, to formulate plans for the
establishment Of q school patrol.
The movement was sponsored by
Robert Swift Post, Of the American
Legion. At a meeting with Supt.
w. A. Kohl the plan was explained
and the patrol, consisting of boys
and girls, was appointed.
At the critical school hours dur
ing the school year the boys and
girls appointed as members of the
school patrol, have been on the
job. The best evidence that their
service has been successful is a
record Of complete school year
without an accident.
The state highway department,
fully appreciating this record, sent
their Mr.Reed, who has specialized
in this work, to meet with the stu
dents at an informal luncheon
Thursday of last week when they
were to receive badges in recogni-
ton of meritorious service. This
luncheon was attended by the Of
ficers of Robert Swift Post. Supt.
w. A. Kohl, President Carl Fischer,
of the Community Club and others.
In a short but very interesting
talk Mr.. Reed told how the school
patrols, the first in the Nation
came into being. Sauk Centre was
among the early schools in the
state to be organized. The success
Of the patrol in Minnesota had
prompted other states to emulate
the example set in this common
wealth.
Mr.. Reed said, that while this city
was among the first to be organiz-
ed, it was recognized by the state
department to be among the most
efficient in the state. He congratu-
lated the Sauk Centre patrol upon
the efficiency and courtesy devel-
oped.
The Herald editor was privileged
to attend the luncheon arranged for
this meeting. The young people
making up the honor roll Of the
patrol were there. In newspaper
experience Of more than so years,
viewing groups Of young folks on
many occasions and under favor
able circumstances from the sweet
girl graduate of the average High
School to the supposed to be So
phisticated bluffing graduate OF the
University of Minnesota, we favor
the students who have so success
fully patrolled the streets of this
city the past year.
Mr.. Reed gave a very instructive
talk urging the young people to
continue to carry on. ~-- -rs.
Supt. Kohl expressed his appre-
citation for the establishment OF
the Patrol; he was pleased to have
the StateHighway Patrol recognize
the efficiency which had been
reached in the first year of a
strange voyage from an education
al standpoint. He pledged the
schools full cooperation for the
coming year, asking and expecting
to receive the full cooperation of
the State Highway patrol.
Carl Fischer, president of the
Community Club, well said that
the people of the community were
well pleased with the work OF the
School Patrol. OF course he pledg-
ed the full cooperation OF his Or
ganization for future development.
