Few Accidents Consider
ing Huge Numbers
Transported Each Day
PLAN NEW STUDIES
One Million Dollars
Invested In Modern
Buses By Districts

Recent school bus accidents have
aroused the people of our state and
community concerning the safety
OF transporting children to and
from school. Accident reports for
1878 as submitted by superinten-
dents and principals indicated that
there were twenty-five accidents in
which school buses were involved.
Although most of these accidents
were not caused through neglect of
the bus driver, publicity given has
left the wrong impression on the
public, said Supt. w. A. Kohl, and
1t is necessary that additional safe
ty plans be inaugurated to instill
confidence among the people.
Sauk Centre schools maintain a
fleet of splendid buses operated by
competent drivers, supervised by
the superintendent. No accidents
occurred here during the past year,
and when one considers the num-
ber of pupils hauled to and from
school during the year, accident
ratios and injuries are few.
During 1898 about $500 veh-
icles transported about $4,000 public
school pupils to and from school
in Minnesota. These vehicles made
two or more trips each day for a
total of at least 5000 trips per day
and 100000 trips for the 180-day
school term. Counting the pupil
as a passenger for each trip on the
bus, there were about 100000 pas
sengers each day, or 27,000,000 for
the 180-day school term. This does
not include extra trips to extra cur
ricular school activities, contests or
entertainments.
In the past three years over one
million dollars has been invested
by school districts in new school
buses, used for transportation of
pupils. This indicates that the
school officials of the state are con-
scious of the need for better equip
ment and are progressing as rapid
ly as finances of districts will per-
NIT.
Many districts have been handi-
capped in that tax revenues are be-
low normal and that state aids for
transportation are paid at only six
ty per cent Of the total a district
is entitled to receive.
For greater safety and care it is
advised that school officials hold
meetings for the bus drivers and
discuss problems relative to trans
portation. Supt. Kohl has held such
meetings with the following topics
for discussion: Cd operating school
buses across railroad tracks; (2)
escorting pupils across highways
after such pupils have alighted
from the bus; (3) operating buses
on slippery roads or on days when
it is foggy or of low visibility; (4
what to do in case of accident; 90
discussion of all operating rules as
adopted by the State Board Of Ed
ducation and Commissioner of
Highways; (6) organization OF
school bus patrols; 60 local trans
portation problems.
Other recommendations for safe
ty which are adhered to locally, in
clude: G) require frequent inspec-
ton of the brakes, lights, steering
gear, tires, and other moving parts
of the vehicle; (2) inspection of all
gaskets Of the motor, manifold, and
the exhaust pipe. Exhaust pipe
should extend beyond the end of

in a quiet, assured, matter-of-fact
tone.
She must have been listening
there for some time, Sarah Anne
knew, for she seemed entirely
aware of the trend of the CONVEX
sation.
Bob was glancing curiously from
one girl to the other. Beyond the
door Sarah Anne spied young
Robert Ransom, his face worried.
She spoke as soon as she recov-
cred from her amazement.
"Corrinne is being gallant. I was
there. It happened like this"
That was as far as she got. Cor
rinne silenced her. "She's just try
ing to cover up for me. It was this
way" She repeated Sarah Anne's
report Of the last evenings hap
penings and the older girl marveled
at the accuracy of the account.
The officials nodded as the pieces
checked.

that" the chief said, while Sarah
Anne tried to break in on the con-
versation.
Hold everything" Bob Kennedy
whispered to her. "You can
straighten it out pretty soon. Cor
rinne's nobody's fool. She's up to
something."
The eyes he turned on the
younger gir, were admiring and
sympathetic. She was a brave
youngster, all right. True blue. She
needed friend at the moment, too.
The minister spoke slowly. "Cor-
rinne, why didn't you tell us this ?"
Because it was all so stupid"
she said wearily. why trouble

"You should have. I eel like

too. Yet Corrinne hadn't failed him.
She, Sarah Anne, had, and it had
been due to a desire to shield Cor
rinne. She felt Bob's hand, warm
and strong, covering hers, and
knew that he understood.
Corrinne spoke again. II couldn't
tell you. Please believe me. I was
too ashamed everything"

up the word and held it out to her.

him steadily.
"Then we aren't far wrong in our
guess that you are the girl this
Robin married in Chicago last
week ?"
"Sir, you'll take that back" the
minister began.
"That's little too thick, oficer,"i
Bob Kennedy interposed.
Bob Ransom came into the room
from the hall and stood by Cor
rinne. "Corrinne happens to be en-
gagged to me, chief"
"Well, you may find that you are.

It seemed to Corrinne that she

father was saying. He was calm,
in command. Only his eyes were
dark in their seriousness. Mrs.
Melton put her arm around Cor

was shaking.
Miss Anne Moffet spoke. ''Blame

Farmers Instructed
In Livestock Program

The first definite steps toward a
county wide summer livestock pro-
gram were taken this week when 40
committeeman from the 13O townships
received instructions.
They will collect information for a
directory of all the pure-bred livestock
in the county, question farmers on
whether they will buy any pure bred
sires during the year and what kind,
solicit memberships for tours to Gin
cinnati stockyards, and question farm
ers on their reaction to a county wide
pure-bred livestock field day late in
the summer.
