 Use of school busses has eliminat. ed the little red school house with its one-room quarters and has sub stituted throughout rural areas modern consolidated plants with libraries, science laboratories, and gymnasiums comparable to those of city schools.
 To the shock of minded educators, who upon occasions have attempted to find out what part of the school program appeals most to a youngster, this answer often comes back on the questionnaire: "The school bus ride"
 Before the days of extensive bus transportation, school district lines frequently were established on the basis of the distance a pair of feet could carry the youngster living farthest down the road. Memories of long, daily walks still are vivid.

BY OSCAR F. PEARSON Chief Statistician, Automobile Manufacturers Association

MAAnu16CtuECA0 <ASSUCA&bAOA 2 Substantial increases in produc- ton, sales and use of motor cars and trucks in the United States are indicated in preliminary estimates for the industry's model year just ended.
 Statistics also are now available which show to a certain extent the widespread essential services being performed by motor transport in both rural and urban areas.
 During the 12 months up to Oct. 1, factory sales or passenger cars totaled BATS, ,000 units, with truck sales advancing to 8l0,000 units. The combined factory sales of 4,285, 900 trucks and cars were, in round num- bers, 19.5 per cent higher than the previous 12-month period. Wholesale value of these products approxima- ted $2,827, ,500,0 900.
 While the number of motor ve- hicles exported from the United States dropped to 900, represent ing only 6 per cent of production, a strong domestic market resulted in notable gains in employment and in the purchase of raw mater ials by the industry.
 Employment in automobile, body and parts factories rose to 26,000 workers, and the weekly payroll for the period was approximately $13,- 76O 900. In addition, railroad auto- motive freight went up to 3,755 yO0O carloads, motor vehicle consumption of gasoline reached 22,044. 900 900 gallons, and the industry purchased 30 per cent of the rubber, g per cent of the nickel, 20 per cent of the steel, 34 per cent of the lead and very large quantities of cotton, tur- pentine, plate glass, wool and many other commodities. Motor transport directly or indirectly provided one pay check out of every seven made out during the last l2 months in the nation.
 The constantly growing usefulness of motor transport is partially re- fiected in the rd-breaking regis tration of 31 400, 900 motor vehicles at the end of th emodel year, in cluding 26,9O0 900 passenger cars and ,4,50O,O 900 trucks.
 Total world registration is rough ly 45 400, 900 motor vehicles, with the. united States now accounting for 69 per cent of it. Bus registra- tion in this country touched 140, 900. { Of special significance is the breakdown of registration, disclos- ine that Al per cent of all cars and trucks in the country are located on farms and in villages under 2.5O0 pouulatiofl. There are about 48,0O0 communities which depend entire Iy upon trucks and cars, not hav- ing any other transportation ia cilities.
 Other figures which help to define the meaning of transportation in modern America:
 The United States post office de- livers mail over 1922 ,657 miles of rural highways.

Millions Now Ride
 To School By Bus
Big Transport Operation Eliminates Little Red School
 Houses With Their One-ROOm Quarters

Now that school is open again, 3,742,000 school children are riding comfortably by bus to their classes this fall.
 That daily passenger load is near ly five times as large as the one carried by all Class railroads. And 1t puts in the shade the crowds that swarm daily through New York City's subway system.
 One school child in every eight gets to classroom and back by school bus.
 And his round-trip cost for the entire year averages only $1950 to the taxpayers who foot the bill, ac- cording to Bus Transportation Mag azine. It used to cost $35.38 per pupil about fifteen years ago.
 No other single transport job ap- breaches in magnitude the daily school bus operation. Last year, these busses rolled up more than eight billion passenger miles. Round trips per pupil averaged II miles per day for 200 days.
 Last year saw school bus service extended to 345,000 additional chil- dren. Bus manufacturers mean while devoted 62 per cent of their entire output to school busses, pro- ducing 11,446 new vehicles.
 In the United States more than 42,500 schools use busses to trans port children. Twenty-eight states operate more than 1000 busses each, and only two states employ fewer than 200. Exclusive of commercial lines which also carry children near their schools, 91,616 school busses are in operation.
 North Carolina has the largest number of children riding to school -319,893. In New England states, Massachusetts leads the list with 53,000 transported pupils. Pennsyl- vania. with 10000, tops the Gen. tral Atlantic area and Ohio's 303, 900

Factory sales of cars and trucks in the first eight months of this year totaled 2,871 sos units, an in- crease of 21 per cent over the cor responding period last year.
