school bus accidents than in school
bus crashes, or 159 children killed in
automobile accidents. as compared
with only three killed in school bus
accidents. Yet 1000 school buses haul
275,000 children to and from each
school day, travelling 10000 school
bus miles daily over $3.50 miles of
roads.
Adult CareleSsneSs.
The actual records also show that
while there have been very few seri-
Gus school bus wrecks in the past few
years, several of these have been the
result of carelessness on the part of
adult drivers. While most Of the bus
drivers are high school boys from 16
to Is years of age, who have been
carefully selected by the school prin-
cipals for this work, some $50 adult
drivers are employed, mostly in west
ern counties or in counties having the
contract" system. In one of these
wrecks, in which loaded bus turn
ed over down an enbamkment be-
cause it was going too fast to take a
curve, it was found that the driver,
an adult, had taken on several bot

while waiting for the school day to

dents of a similar nature are on re-
cord.
Many school officials frankly say
they would much rather have student
school bus drivers than adult bus driv-
ers, for the reason that the student
drivers are under constant supervis-
ion of the principles and subject to
school regulation, and they are select
ed because OF their character and de-
pendability and only after passing
strict examinations on driving ability,
highway laws and other matters per-
tanning to safe driving On the other
hand, they maintain that it would be
difficult to get adult drivers for $40
a month who would be as intelligent
and as careful as the student drivers.
Cost PrOhibitive.
The other big item in providing
adult drivers is the cost It is esti-
mated that the employment of 1000
adult bus drivers would increase the
cost at least $1,OO0,000 a year beyond
the present cost of about $875,O0O a
year. If this additional cost is au-
thorized for bus drivers, it will have
to come out of the school appropria-
ton, it is pointed out, and hence re-
duce the salaries of the teachers by
the same amount. And $1,OOO,OOO a
year amounts to enough to Increase
